This isn't our heat wave, but the next one could be

Or if we mess up the jet stream, arctic winters.

We have really messed up horrifically, haven't we.

I am scared its too late to put right

Message your MP and every orgnistion you buy from to demand action

I'd love to hear what you think MPs in the UK could do about this even if they wanted to.

Emmamoo89 - are you a farmer?

I'm sorry but I couldn't have a meat free day my dad's a butcher I've grown up on it 🤣 had the best home cooked meals. I got fed very well.

How do we managed the mass migration from areas of the world that have become unliveable?

Global use of AC is one reason we have global warming.

People who cannot cope with the heat will die, 60k across Europe died last year alone.

Yep, we've left it too late. We knew what was happening and we did nothing. But I suspect most people in the UK won't give a toss until the mass migration to the north from nations in the southern hemisphere after it becomes too hot to be inhabited.

@Emmamoo89 that's entirely your choice. I just get fed up with the argument that eating less meat means eating fake meat or avocadoes or almond milk because that is not how most cultures that eat less meat live. I don't eat fake meat.

The elites that are smart enough are buying up land that will be less affected though, right?

Your MP is there to represent your views in parliament. If enough constituents express concerns it’s more likely they will raise the issue and vote in that direction when the opportunity arises - because they want to stay as your MP.

So did mine. Was a proper heavy smoker. I think its more luck of the draw. Not your lifestyle

It’s a heatwave in Europe in summer that is being hyped by the media to push an agenda. By all means live in fear and punish yourself but do know that all of the UN’s modelling to date has been incorrect. The earth has been warming and cooling since time began and this is no different.

You won't have a choice. If the areas that produce crops to feed animals become uninhabitable because of scorching temps, the food supply chain will be hugely affected. We'll all be living on crickets for protein.

This is so true, I often read on here where the washing machine is on more than twice a day for an average family and I have wondered if my family, 2 working adults and two children, must have gone about being mucky as I don't recall doing that!

I didn't say our impact was insignificant. I said ''we'' are insignificant. Humans. I don't think we matter.

My post said ''we can't reverse what we've done'. I know we've done it.

My point about the Earth changing is - that it's changed in the past before we came along. It's changing because of us. And it will change again when we're gone probably. All things change.

Only have one child and certainly no grandchildren

…and the methane?…

Nope. Not too late. We still have time to avoid hitting catastrophic tipping points that will make it irreversible- but we all need to start doing more;

When I walk kids to school, and see 100s of drop offs in oversized cars (despite catchment of c. 2km), or when you try to cycle and the attitude of drivers is toxic... Then you realise how far down the list of priorities anything climate related is.

Probably somewhere on the list after some Z list celeb's boob job.

That's our society.

We swapped our car for a Tesla so doing our bit there

I don't completely agree .. but you are right that organisations and industry changing will have the biggest impact.
But did you know, that if every person in China lived the same way that we do in the West (driving cars, using consumable products etc), we would need three earths to provide us with enough resources.
We are terribly wasteful in first world countries and whilst people making changes aren't the whole solution, what we do as individuals definitely matters.

I'll probably not be alive then 😃 until I don't have a choice I'll be containing enjoying my steak

The UK will be the place to be in 10 years - it will be the only place with bearable summers. It's scary.

Is this not exactly the reason we're in this mess. People refusing to give up their lifestyles.

Most soy is fed to animals that we eat as meat.

But it feels colder to me, winter was absolutely freezing and this summer has had more cool days than warm.
I can't believe I have my full duvet on and still use my heater done says
