As I said , there needs to be a change energy use and provision . Energy providers need to invest more in infrastructure to make it sustainable. Consumers need cost effective alternatives. My point is the fear porn being peddled . 40 degree heat maps - black in colour . It’s nonsense to make morons panic . Graphics worked during covid , so I see why they’re resorting to this.
Problem is there’s too many simpletons who like I’ve said who don’t even understand the difference between weather and climate for starters, maybe the fear porn, as you call it, is a potential way to get it through to thick ****s who find reading the details all a bit too tricky?

UK and Ireland suffer one of the most severe marine heatwaves on Earth Waters around the UK and Ireland have been classified as experiencing a category 4 (extreme) marine heatwave, as the North Atlantic ocean continues to see extraordinary warmth By Madeleine Cuff 19 June 2023 has experienced record-breaking temperatures for the past three months, with average surface temperatures peaking on 17 June at 23°C (73.4°F), 0.2°C above the previous high set in 2010. Much of the heat is currently concentrated on waters surrounding the UK and Ireland, with scientists at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration categorising the region as being hit by a category 4 (extreme) marine heatwave. Waters off the UK’s east coast, from Durham to Aberdeen, and off the west coast of Ireland are especially warm. Off Seaham, on the coast of Durham, water temperatures on 18 June hit 15°C, well above the 12°C average for the time of year. Some parts of the UK coast now have waters approaching 20°C, according to Rodney Forster at the University of Hull, UK. Extreme sea temperatures can kill fish and other sea life and drive more powerful storms. They may also pose a long-term threat to human health – a 2023 report from the UK’s Environment Agency warned that more frequent marine heatwaves increase the risk of shellfish becoming infected with Vibrio bacteria, which can cause sickness in humans. A number of factors could be contributing to the extraordinary heat in the North Atlantic. Weaker trade winds may have limited the amount of Saharan dust blowing over the ocean this year, dust which has a cooling effect on sea temperatures. “Typically, airborne dust from the Sahara helps to cool this region by blocking and reflecting some of the sun’s energy; but weaker than average winds have reduced the extent of dust in the region’s atmosphere potentially leading to higher temperatures,” said Albert Klein Tank at the UK Met Office in a recent blog post. Climate change is also contributing, he said, alongside a global transition to hotter El Niño conditions that is now under way. Forster says the heatwave has been exacerbated by calm seas and sunny weather over the North Sea, which has caused sea surface temperatures to rise dramatically over the past 10 days, reaching levels usually seen in mid-August. Large blooms of Noctiluca algae have been reported by fishermen across the North Sea, he says, with “bright orange slicks” stretching 500 kilometres observed. Noctiluca is a form of algae also known as “sea sparkle” as it makes water glow bright blue at night. But its thick scum saps oxygen from waters and devours plankton. Blooms of this size in North Sea waters are very unusual, says Forster. “It’s a really big-scale event. It’s amazing to see, but it’s not particularly a good thing.”
Environment The past week was the hottest ever recorded on Earth The record for the hottest average global air temperature was broken three times this week, making the past seven days the hottest since instrumental records began in the 1850s By Madeleine Cuff That surpassed the joint record set on 4 and 5 July of 17.18°C (62.92°F), which itself had smashed the record set on 3 July of 17.01°C (62.62°F). The past seven days have been the hottest on Earth since instrumental records began in the 1850s. Karsten Haustein at the University of Leipzig, Germany, says the last time Earth was this warm was in the Eemian interglacial period, around 120,000 years ago. “The situation we are witnessing now is the demonstration that climate change is out of control,” UN secretary-general António Guterres said earlier this week, in a statement. “If we persist in delaying key measures that are needed, I think we are moving into a catastrophic situation, as the last two records in temperature demonstrates.” The records were partly confirmed by data from the European Union’s climate monitoring service Copernicus, which said its ERA5 dataset had also recorded record high global surface air temperatures on 3 and 4 July. It told New Scientist that preliminary data suggests 5 July was also a day of record warmth. Previous to this week, the next highest temperature on record was recorded jointly in August 2016 and July 2022, when average global temperatures reached 16.92°C (62.46°F), according to Climate Reanalyzer. please log in to view this image https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/t2_daily/ Scientists said the high global temperatures are being driven by a combination of climate change and an unusually wavy band of strong winds, known as the jet stream, high over the North Atlantic. Piers Forster at the University of Leeds, UK, says the searing heat experienced across Canada, the US and Mexico in the past few weeks – where temperatures have soared above 46°C (115°F) in some places – is partly to blame. The persistent heatwave has been caused by an “omega” pattern in the jet stream, which is holding the hot weather in place and helping to drive record-high global air temperatures. This “wavy” jet stream pattern may be a secondary effect of climate change, says Forster, which could mean that such runs of record-breaking air temperatures could become more common in the future. “It’s very peculiar,” he says. “We are certainly observing the impacts of climate change increasing the Earth’s surface temperature – that is absolutely occurring and part of what’s going on. But there could potentially also be the effect of secondary climate change on the circulation as well, and that is potentially quite worrisome because that would suggest we could get into these long periods of extreme heat more often.” Read more: Strong El Niño could make 2024 the first year we pass 1.5°C of warming An accelerating El Niño climate pattern, where higher temperatures in the Pacific Ocean drive warmer, more extreme weather across the world, could mean more record-breaking weather to come later this year, says Robert Rohde at Berkeley Earth in California. This year is “more likely than not” to be the hottest on record, he says. Warmer than usual winter temperatures in Antarctica, which have driven record low levels of sea ice this year, will also have tweaked global average temperatures higher than normal, Haustein says. That factor, coupled with the arrival of El Niño and ongoing human-caused climate change, means it is “quite obvious that you should expect a new record,” he says. “It is, in fact, unavoidable.” Following the end of El Niño, likely to be in around two years’ time, global average temperatures will dip back towards normal levels, says Forster. But climate change means there will be a “continually warming baseline” to contend with. Cutting greenhouse gas emissions as far and fast as possible is the best route to minimising the occurrence of record-breaking heat in the future, he says. “We can really change in a positive way how much temperature increase there is over the next two decades,” he says. “It can either get a little bit worse than now or an awful lot worse than now.”
