That doesn't quite have the same ring to it, but it is a factually honest statement as shown by this article:
Hottest Evah June! | NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT (wordpress.com)
What the Met Office conveniently "forgot" was that there is a list of UK temperature data going back much further called the Central England Temperature (CET) record. In that much longer record it can be seen that what happened in June was not a record at all, it was simply an unusual variation in our weather.
This is yet another attempt at propaganda to convince the uninformed public that the planet is warming at a dramatic rate. It is fortunate that some people still have access to these records, still unaltered by those who wish to wipe out the past, for now.
We are really getting hot days world wide.

Monday may have set a global record for the hottest day ever. Tuesday broke it
Scientists at the University of Maine's Climate Reanalyzer project calculate that entire planet sweltered to the unofficial hottest day in human recordkeeping July 3 and then soared past that to an even hotter day on July 4
What should we make of terms like "unofficial hottest day in human recordkeeping"? It is clear that the media is intent on using any means t try and frighten people into believing that the climate is getting much hotter, but if we look back a little further there have been plenty of extreme variations in the past.
ReplyDeletegreater chance 2023 hottest year ever
ReplyDeletePut this into your search engine. El Nino mixed with human co2 makes for a pretty hot year.
A slight increase due to El Nino is nothing to get worried about.
ReplyDeleteYou were a science teacher at one time. Its disappointing to see you arguing this way.
DeleteWarmer oceans have less oxygen in them. The reason to stop co2 pollution is to also stop warming the ocean. To lower the oxygen in the oceans is to lower the food production over time.

An 'extreme' heat wave has hit the seas around the UK and Ireland. Here's what's going on
Marine heat waves are classified as "prolonged periods of anomalously high sea surface temperature," when compared to the long-term average for that time of year. And thanks to measurements made by satellites orbiting the earth we know that, in some areas around the U.K., surface water temperatures are 4°C to 5°C above normal for mid June.
Fish may go hungry
One reason this heat wave is so significant is that those stratified seas on the continental shelf around Britain and Ireland are some of the most biologically productive on the planet. They have long been an important area for fishing cod, haddock, mackerel and other species. Those fish eat smaller fish and crustaceans, which in turn feed on microscopic plants known as plankton.
At this time of year, these plankton are dependent on nutrients mixed up from the deep water into the surface layer. However, this year, this nutrient supply may be diminished, since the very high surface temperature means there is likely stronger stratification and less mixing.
A heat wave on the surface could potentially harm the deeper ocean too, and the fish that live there. These continental shelf seas are already suffering from a decline in deep water oxygen, which is partly offset by mixing oxygen-rich water from the surface. However, the fact that the surface temperatures are so high point to a lack of mixing between the layers, and in any case, warmer water contains less oxygen.
