  While it is hard to link climate change to individual extreme weather events, scientists say climate change is making heatwaves more frequent and intense.

  The only mention of climate change, right at the very bottom of the article, and as near as they can get to dismissing it without being accused of denial. The BBC is a fucking joke of a public broadcaster.

    Honestly at this point just be grateful they didn’t try to blame it on Palestine or trans people 💀

    The amount of people bringing up summer of 76 is demoralising. It seems like that summer was really hot compared to other cool years. While the last few years have all been breaking records…

      I was in the UK for a couple of weeks in the summer of 76, but didn’t realise what an outlier it was until I was actually living there a few years later. I’m from New Zealand, and it seemed like fairly normal summer weather to me.
