Human-induced climate change makes heatwaves 30 times more likely
CNN ^ | December 6, 2018 | By Matthew Robinson

Human-induced climate change has made the United Kingdom's record-breaking 2018 summer heatwave around 30 times more likely than under normal conditions, the country's meteorological body has said.

The UK as a whole endured its joint hottest summer on record in 2018, and the hottest ever for England.

"Our provisional study compared computer models based on today's climate with those of the natural climate we would have had without human-induced emissions," said Professor Peter Snott from the Met Office and Exeter University.

Snott noted that the "rapidly increasing changes" stem from an increase in the concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere.

Kathryn Brown, the head of adaptation in the UK's Committee on Climate Change, which advises the government, told CNN that the report reinforces that the government must redouble its efforts to address the impacts of high temperatures and lack of rain.

My theory is that it’s actually snot(t), rather than CO2, that creates “climate change.”

I also understand it is causing problems for the Tooth Fairy, Garden Fairies, and fairies, in general. Something to do with increased air turbulence.

So children are hardest hit.

Also gay bars in San Fransisco.

It has been determined that the breathlessness of Liberal Democrats is the leading cause of climate change. Please disrobe and get in line for a shower. Don’t worry about a towel.

Nothing to worry about, then, since human induced climate change isn’t possible.

than under normal conditions

What, exactly, are the normal conditions of the world's (or even England's) climate?

LOL

Here's another gem

Exeter University is forced to apologise after sending email with a quote from Nazi general Erwin Rommel to motivate staff and students

The new "liberal Yeti"

"Human-induced climate change"

Often discussed, never real.

Professor Peter Snott? Hope his daughter does not end up marrying the Ragg boy and demanding a hyphenated last name. Or nicknaming their first born son “Booger”. Crikie.

Computer models that can’t be replicated and are based on ‘secret’ data?

When was the last time ‘science’ was a hand tool for those seeking “tOtal climate change”?

Do you use it as a club, a bat or just jam the logic door shut and hope that people don’t grasp the lies of what they can not see that which surrounds them and is now being used against them.

We are reliving the 1930s in more ways then one it seems, when heat waves were drying our nation up like a puddle in the noonday sun and the bolsheviks ruled while Republics fell.

No climate change then, huh.. or autobahns full of BMWs and Benzes but lots of Nazis took root then, future propagandists for the Left’s quest to control even the air you breathe.

Exactly.
And of course the heat island effect is never mentioned.
Large amounts of concrete , asphalt and roofs have been adddd around temperature measuring stations over the decades
