Thoughts on the heatwave

It's day 2 of the UK heatwave and I have a few issues on my mind that I need to discuss. In the run up to this I was monitoring the discourse online about it because I am a masochist who wants to combat climate change disinformation. So against my better judgement I started actually reading social media comments. I'm not sure if I have recovered from the psychic damage I took from this but I think there are a few issues to point out. First up are the usual comments I have seen on the various posts from the met office, BBC and whatever other semi reliable news outlets have been posting warnings to the public. The most common seemed to be the "1976 summer heatwave which was much worse so whats all the fuss about?", next was "its just summer so calm down" and finally the more conspiratorial responses about net zero being a scam or HAARP or fearmongering about green energy. I dunno man things got weird the further I looked. I could spend an entire post about how these are all just wrong…
