Irelands heatwave media coverage

The temperature was within 0.3° of the record.

i know this thread is not attracting the best and brightest but the proof of worldwide climate change or global warming doesn’t actually depend on that particular record being broken in kilkenny, Ireland.

I don’t care if the actual record is broken because it means nothing either way to the debate on climate warming, a debate I have little interest in. It’s happening but I don’t stress about it.

this whole thread is full of people clearly angry, upset and indeed discombobulated about RTE - a channel they don’t even have to watch - report on an extremely rare weather event in Ireland. I assume the was the hottest day in many peoples lifetime. Worth a report on the Irish news channel, you’d think

there’s a fair amount of projection going on, too. Clearly the cranks are thinking about climate change and hoping the Irish record wouldn’t be broken, because in their limited way of thinking as long as the record holds in Kilkenny ( though it be beaten across Europe ) then climate change is a bust. From this limited understanding of statistics, they think the other “side” needs the record to be broken to prove climate change. All eyes on Kilkenny.

What actually proves climate change is all the records from all the stations worldwide showing increases in temperature over time.

now remember back when your teachers sent reports back like “bit giddy, not great at maths” or “wouldn’t expect him to be an engineer, or much else really, can he play the trombone?” - well you should have taken those reports seriously - not just in your career but in general life.
