@Dove_10@British_Airways Good luck with that @Dove_10 - I’ve been trying for near on 16 weeks and absolutely no closer to settlement as far as I know - lots of false promises but doesn’t feel like progress to me, so stressful and frustrating, not to mention expensive - interest etc
In September 1990, my village in Valencia hit 46°C.
It was the exact kind of natural climate volatility this ancient planet has unleashed for billions of years.
Today, Valencia, Rome, and Athens are actually sitting well below their seasonal averages. Yet, the media is in a coordinated meltdown over a standard two-week warm patch in the UK, France, and Belgium.
As a geospatial engineer who wrote a thesis on climatology, I’m positioned better than many to talk about the topic, the entire narrative relies on a broken view of data systems.
The formula is simple: zoom in on a tiny slice of geography, filter out the cool regions that ruin the story, and label a hot afternoon a global catastrophe.
The funniest part is the sheer hubris of the solution.
We are told the Earth's massive climate system operates like a living room thermostat, that if humans just stop CO2 emissions, we can magically freeze the weather at our preferred temperature.
Pretending we can micromanage global macro-cycles with carbon taxes.
But as long as panic funds the machine, and people don’t think by themselves, they’ll keep selling the front-row tickets.
@Richy_GITC@AndyBurnhamGM None of that will happen. When you're controlled and there's only one way they want the country to go, then that's the way it'll go.
Unless...
@JackDunc1 Two weeks ago, I was sitting in a fleece. But sure, climate change.
And not in 'history' since records began. If you look at the highest ever recorded temps, you'll see no pattern.
People like you are dangerous for society. Stay in your lane.
@Uber_Support For anyone using Uber eats… be careful as they’ll blame you when their partners f**k you over and try and claim it as a gesture of goodwill to refund you, your own money, avoid these scumbags at all costs!
