About that Northwestern European Heat Wave

Steve has mentioned the brief heat wave that brought unprecedented high temperatures to much of England, and elsewhere in Northwestern Europe. The heat wave didn’t last long–the high today in London was 79 degrees–but it prompted an outpouring of global warming hysteria.
I was reminded of visiting London around 27 years ago, in April. Then, too, the city was in the midst of an unprecedented heat wave–in April! With temperatures in the 90s and no air conditioning, everyone was sweltering. We stayed at the East India Club, and as I recall the Club, for the first time, relaxed its centuries-old requirement that coats and ties be worn

The difference is ESG funding.

We're all going to die!
In the history of the human race - - that has never happened before!
No more "fossil fuels" - - put an end to human death - - NOW!

I was in England about 30 years ago, touring by car all over the south and north to Inverness… We decided to do a canal boat trip on the Stratford-Avon Canal. So hot and humid we were miserable. I dubbed the Canal the “River Kwai”…
These fools just don’t understand weather.

I have spent seventy years of personal observation of the weather, in North America, the Caribbean, Europe, all across Central Asia, and down into central India, plus a lot of time flying small aircraft around and through weather, and watching it develop because it was important to staying alive in those aircraft.
In that time, I have come to one conclusion about the weather. It varies, a LOT. Beyond that, I don't believe that there is much valid info out there. Huge numbers of the long term weather reporting stations have had large increases in man-made heat collectors like concrete buildings or paved parking lots put in near them, invalidating their scientific usefulness as a 'comparison of the same place over a long time' because when you start in an open field for 30 years and then eventually become a urban concrete-scape, it is NOT 'the same place' even if it is the same location.
The data is suspect, and we are certain that some of it has been intentionally "adjusted" - ALWAYS upwards - for political purposes.
I don't think humans affect the climate. Yes, a city collects more heat than a field of grass and a forest. But the areas which are urbanized are still a tiny, tiny fraction of the land area......and 74% of the planet is OCEAN, unaffected by mankind entirely.
Our arrogance as a species makes many of us think we are more influential than we actually are.

July, Aug.,1988 9 consecutive days of heat. Not one day was below 95 degrees. With one day hitting 100. was that a heat wave? No one had AC like we do today. AC was in the movie theaters or in stores. Now, do you want to talk about the blizzards headed our way? They are going to happen, Its called weather. get use to it, its going to be here for a while.

I was in London in 1976, it was said to be the hottest summer in 500 years. Days and days 100 degree temperatures. It was sweltering. No air conditioning, no cold drinks but plenty of warm beer. We still managed to have a great time.

Keep this in your pocket for the green weenies: 'A high temperature of 121 degrees was measured as far north as Steele, North Dakota on July 6, 1936 and many of the records in the Plains were set in 1936, during the peak of the Dust Bowl. Oklahoma, for instance, reached its record of 120 degrees four times and in three different locations in the summer of 1936.

It was reported there was a massive solar flare on July 15, which would be a direct hit on Earth around the 17th.
#7 has good point, and some of the hottest weather is from 1938 which was long before there was this many people, cars and concrete.
Many of the weather stations are situated at airports (lots of concrete and asphalt).
I'm going to bet if they simply input the actual temperature data into their model, it would not produce the result they are claiming. Call me skeptical, but many of these climate alarmists have been caught manipulating data and not using some calendar years in their "models" so they don't deserve that respect.
