The heatwave

[Returnofrros]

We've survived the hole in the ozone as well as managed to walk around getting wet in the acid rain which didn't melt our clothes or kill any plants.

Did you get through the summer of 1976 without melting? I managed it.

Yeah managed it......9 year old had enuf sense to keep umbro t shirt on and wear a cap.

Stepped over a lot of dead bodies on Great Yarmouth beach though.....like d day landings

Dug deaths were a crisis that created dangerous dogs act, pit bull terriers and stuff!

Oh aye forgot that

Aaaaaannnnd another thing.................................

Says on the news tonight that we're getting near to record temperatures across Europe. Now, that's 'near to' temperatures recorded before global warming was a cause for panic and social restrictions

Record temperatures are like Ramsay travel bookings and dab season tic sales......record every year....without fail.

How long until the buffoon comes onto our TVs and announces that we must stay at home?

After all the MSM are now reporting that some 'scientists' are predicting deaths because of the heat and are demanding a pandemic style response.

On a similar subject. Heard on one news report that people are burning floor boards and furniture (Presumably pianos) to keep warm because they can't afford to heat their homes. Next report says it could be 40C later this week.

What do these people take us for?

On the BBC weather forecast on Sunday it was stated scientists are blaming global warming for the current heatwave.
Heatwaves happen nearly every summer in the U.K. and particularly in the South East of England.
Amazingly there was no mention of global warming during the long hot summers of 1975 and 1976. Back then global warming had never been discovered or dreamt up.

I'm a survivor......lived through a lot of crisis now.

Food crisis, COVID crisis, cost of living crisis, climate crisis 10 years to save the world since 1990, democracy crisis, fuel crisis, nuclear crisis, aids crisis, oil crisis, banking crisis.....sure I've forgot a few....oh aye sea level crisis, polar caps/bears crisis, pension crisis, rape culture not yet upgraded to crisis and institutionalised racism whic I think is beyond a crisis if it's institutionalised, dug deaths crisis, alcohol dependency crisis and bog roll shortage

I'm no Bear Grylls but I soldier on.

You forgot to mention the hole in the ozone layer which was another crisis but now we never hear anything about it.

A couple of weeks ago was a programme on TV about the summer of 1976. It showed adverts at the time encouraging people to drink fizzy drinks to keep hydrated.
Nearly everyone in the news reports in 1976 looked thin.
Now 46 years later the politicians have told the fizzy drinks companies to reduce the sugar content of their drinks and people are still fat.
