@phlegmatitron@GatehouseTwenty They are sometimes sited in areas where water availability is low and has a huge impact on local populations of essential resources. A very few use the heat for power generation so it is of concern
@pamjlofland Do you realise how ridiculous Farage with a handful of MPs delivering an emergency address sounds. Also how despicable to ignore the family wishes to get some publicity.
@Gee_McK@clarebalding I might prefer tennis on TV as well but a lot of people use online first. There aren't enough channels for every court. It might be a bit fiddly but you do get a browser on smart TVs btw
Oxford, the longest running continuous weather station in UK history, with temperature observations stretching back to 1815, has preliminarily broken its maximum temperature record for May yesterday by OVER 3ºC with a temperature of 33.7ºC. Unprecedented in its 211-year history.
@PeterDClack A bit of truth and a dollop of nonsense. Yes carbon helps growth, no it's not quite the cause. Replacing mature slower growing ecosystems with fast growing commercial crops is more significant with biodiversity the victim here.
@DavidHo66946436@BladeoftheS It's literally their day job monitoring the weather. The people I've spoken to there seem very professional. I realise conspiracies are popular but why would they do it badly?
@Earth_Extreme@metoffice Obviously yes but it is long enough to show statistical anomalies and more rapid changes in temperature which begs the question why.
Even from an American perspective, this is INCREDIBLY hot for May. Wow.
34.8°C (94.6°F) at Kew Gardens is extraordinary even for peak summer in the UK — let alone May.
The deranged lunatics who harass the Met Office are going to be extra mad they can’t blame jet exhaust this time. ✈️🤪
@DavidHo66946436@BladeoftheS You really like to embrace ignorance don't you. Accurate temperatures at airports are really important for pilots and mandated to be located away from runways.
@Barnsey17443311@KathrynDW59 Something about watching a party the pumps out hate being so useless and undeserving of election is too entertaining for the North East to keep to itself.
