World's hottest day since records began

So the likes of Malta, Sardinia, Sicily, the Canary Islands (to name but a few locations that are part of Europe as far as I am aware) are all not in Europe?

October 2022 irelands wettest October on record, March 2023 irelands wettest March on record, June 2023 irelands warmest June on record, July 2023 irelands wettest July on record. All perfectly normal...........

Thats the playbook, the weather forum is famous for this behavior, look at the other threads on climate change. Same playbook, pick one thing other than the scientific evidence that could be construed as wrong and shout that the whole thing is a lie because of it. Its obvious to everyone. Best ignore.

ok sheeple

Those who claim that recent weather is proof of anything are lying to you. However the global mean average surface temperature is a global climate variable (not weather) and it is going to show that this was the hottest year on record since the El-Nino is very likely to see the remainder of the year be as hot as the start of the year.

However what can be said about the weather is that climate change makes exceptional weather patterns far more likely - so the hottest June on record followed by the wettest July on record (in Ireland) are entirely consistent with what climate science predicts for the weather. Climate change is disturbing settled weather patterns across the globe so we continually see weather records been broken in every corner of the globe on a near daily basis.

Climate change destroys the normal we have come to depend on.

Your point - more pedantry ?

What nonsense?

Two posters who are pushing the narrative on this thread can’t get basic geography correct? That nonsense?

How about you answer my point instead of hiding?

Greenies do this all the time- when they’re found out they go silent and ignore the original conversation they initiated.

No, making fun of all those who were stressing about the heat in southern Europe during July, and then went about debunking the idea that temps in Europe were above average in July using data, but whatever 🙄

If its good enough for met eireann to declare record months its good enough for me. Fair enough regards to the number of stations getting record rainfall temperatures etc. I presume met eireann take the average of all stations combined ??

Would you rather people over react?

Seriously, global warming and we've been frozen out of it this July. I'm putting my heated seat on in the morning going to work.

'Don't look up' more like 'don't look out' the window... if you're in Ireland, because that's the only way you'd be fearful of global warming.

But we've had more rain!! CLIMATE CHANGE. Drought last year was CLIMATE CHANGE.

Until Irelands climate actually changes from the usual 4 seasons in a day I won't be getting my nickers in a twist.

Tell us again how it's drier in the East Shoog

like honestly do you lads really believe because the weather isn't great in Ireland that global warming is all lies? because that's the impression you're giving off. i mean surely you're not that dim?

Global warming is meant to be driving extreme weather, no? I mean your camp can't have their cake and eat it too. You can't point to hot weather in the Med in summer and say climate change.

But then challenge others when they point to standard Irish summer by saying THATS WEATHER. Like it's ridiculous hypocritical.

Do I believe with more humans, more concrete, more concerted efferts to monotor/record that the global average temp could have increased in the last 30 years? Yes I do. Do I believe that's driving various weather extremes? No I don't.

Do I believe humans are responsible for the increase in recorded temps? 100% i do. Because we're the ones recording it. Without us there'd be no records.

They're all stupid and don't know what they're talking about. Geraldine on Facebook has the lowdown.

I don't agree. It's been standard fare. 30 years of recordings being barely broken at a few stations is just not enough for me to jump on board the climate catastrophe train.

If we get a record cold month will that also be classed as extreme and due to the global average mean rising?

So essentially everything is climate catastrophe? But we know pre industrial we had human eras of extreme hots/colds. But let's just not look over there right?

Hottest June on record is a bit OTT, warmest June - yes, it was. Temperatures never broke 29c/30c during the month. When you consider Ireland's hottest ever temperature of 33.3c was recorded in June, it's not really an OMG moment as some would like you to think.

Island- continent - not the same thing 😂

Goway outta that you absolute chancer!

Are ya gonna answer what continent you live on or are ya still hiding? 😂

Global warming has become a global industry, with many people's jobs and income depending on it. It's self-perpetuating, like a diffuse bureaucracy. Science should always be open to input and alternative view points, but the politicisation and other factors, like the unfettered near instantaneous exchange of ideas and opinions, thanks to the internet, I think have polarised many topics making them near impossible to counter once they reach a self-perpetuating critical mass.

The latest recipient of the Nobel prize for physics called climate science, 'pseudo science', and promptly had some climate change worshiping dweeb cancel a talk he was due to give to the IMF.

Science is dead. There is no longer an ability to question or rebut when it comes to climate science.

You 'just believe'. I don't. There was massive hyping of the climate crisis in Australia during and after the large bushfires a couple of years ago. Australia was going to get hotter, drier and burn to a cinder. Everyone and everything was going to die. What has actually happened is that Australia has gotten cooler and wetter and agricultural productivity has boomed, with record harvests and usually parched and imperilled river systems are flowing like never before and are full to the brim.

The mass media hysteria using the fires in Australia to hype climate panic reminds me of what we are seeing now in coverage of a heat wave in Europe. Meanwhile my thermostat controlled heating has come on almost every day in July and trucks that deliver heating kerosene are out and about and seemingly quite busy.

I don't deny the climate might be changing, it probably is, it's done so before. My problem with climate science is the unquestioning attribution of events to CO2 produced by mankind. We do not understand in the slightest, what has caused climatic variations in the past, but all of a sudden we have a perfect understanding that current climate anomalies are only attributable to mankind? IMO, if you don't have a perfect understanding of what causes natural variability, then confidently declaring and attributing variability to an utterly minuscule anthropogenic input I find problematic.

So called scientists going on about tipping points and runaway heating leading to the Earth becoming Venus-like and other flavours of climate catastrophism just show how imbecilic some of these 'scientists' are.

The global average temperature for the 20th century was 13.9°C. If it rises 2°C, the planet and all life are fuc*ed, right? So even though the long term global average temp while life on Earth has thrived is more like 25°C - 15.9° and you can kiss your ass goodbye, Venus here we come? Bulldust.

Life on Earth has existed and thrived for far longer on a planet so much warmer there were no ice caps at all, than it has with ice caps in place. Release the CO2 locked up in hydrocarbon deposits and we will have runaway green-house warming. This one has to be one of the stupidest assertions ever. How and why did the carbon get into those deposits? It came from the air, because the 'normal' level for atmospheric CO2 is more like 2,500 ppm, not the current near plant starving 418 ppm. Putting a small fraction of the carbon that was once in the air as CO2, back where it came from, is not going to destroy the planet when 2,500 ppm is likely the norm and clearly didn't cause the planet to become uninhabitable.

Our planet has been so cold it has been frozen over and described as a snowball - twice, it's also been far warmer with a lot more CO2 in the atmosphere. Life on Earth was more nearly made extinct in the snowball scenarios than the warm no ice caps life optimums.

The Earth can and has managed with very large variations in climate and global temperature and atmospheric CO2 levels. It would seem likely that there are coping mechanisms. Scientists don’t know what they are but they are 100% certain that you need to stop whatever is you are doing, right now.

Unlike some, I prefer to base my statements upon verifiable fact. I'd hold out, hold well out, until all the data is in, compiled and QC'd before making claims one way or the other.
