The hottest day recorded in the U.K was in London recently - 40 C.
Only problem they recorded the temperature at Heathrow Airport where there is a lot of tarmac about, artificially causing the temperature to increase. caused by the release of radiated heat.
Skewing the data might work for the majority but for others it has the opposite effect.
Now if they had recorded the temperature over the Thames I'm guessing the temperature would have been much cooler - but then that does not fit the narrative.

No it wasn't, it was recoreded at Corningsby 139 miles away from Heathrow

The notion that anyone can say that one week in 2023 is globally hotter than any other single week in the last 100,000 years by a margin of decimals of a degree is more absurd than anything that PM33 posts on here.
And claiming it as an unquestionable fact is just about the worst argument for convincing PM33 that the atmospheric temperature is increasing and human activities are having a measurable effect.
^^ and posting unreadable jibberish from some unidentified source makes me wonder if it is remery33 ??

I think I agree with you for a change.
If you consider the Earth is flat, and 'derr' of course it is, then there really is no concept of gravity. Therefore its clear that the hot air just escapes from Earth and we are all good.
Where do fossil fuels come from anyway? Has anyone here actually seen a dinosaur? I doubt it.
The example supplied perfectly exhibits how self appointed Truthers are indeed generally confused. They rely on no more than myths like genies for explanations and solutions to their fantasies.

I was pondering this sort of thing the other day. In the age of dinosaurs temps were higher. Megafauna lived in generally warmer climates, so if this were the case does global warming, human induced or natural, really mean disaster?
If its a closed loop climate, does higher temps mean more rainfall or less or does it really depend a lot on where you are?
Not that it is a good thing for us as we are built where we are and rising sea levels would not be a good thing for most people.

Yeah. I understand what you are saying but this is going to happen gradually. The people living in ocean-front properties will not want to pay and everyone else will not want to pay for the people living on the ocean front.
Maybe we can get ahead of the game and 'rescue' some free land from the ocean, fill it higher than we expect we will need and then there is no problem? But it will be gradual, so when does something change? Its one thing if you live in a flat land where you can build to turn a swamp into usable land, but does this make sense if its houses and you can just build somewhere else?
Edit: It looks like that Bangladesh is on the right path based on that link. I remember that it was a poster-child for birth control and improving vaccination rates to result in lower birth rates but lower infant mortality, and as such it was improving life for a lot of its people.

"A surplus no more? Variation in krill availability impacts reproductive rates of Antarctic baleen whales
First published: 15 January 2023 doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16559
Abstract
The krill surplus hypothesis of unlimited prey resources available for Antarctic predators due to commercial whaling in the 20th century has remained largely untested since the 1970s. Rapid warming of the Western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) over the past 50?years has resulted in decreased seasonal ice cover and a reduction of krill. The latter is being exacerbated by a commercial krill fishery in the region. Despite this, humpback whale populations have increased but may be at a threshold for growth based on these human-induced changes. Understanding how climate-mediated variation in prey availability influences humpback whale population dynamics is critical for focused management and conservation actions. Using an 8-year dataset (2013-2020), we show that inter-annual humpback whale pregnancy rates, as determined from skin-blubber biopsy samples (n =?616), are positively correlated with krill availability and fluctuations in ice cover in the previous year. Pregnancy rates showed significant inter-annual variability, between 29% and 86%. Our results indicate that krill availability is in fact limiting and affecting reproductive rates, in contrast to the krill surplus hypothesis. This suggests that this population of humpback whales may be at a threshold for population growth due to prey limitations. As a result, continued warming and increased fishing along the WAP, which continue to reduce krill stocks, will likely impact this humpback whale population and other krill predators in the region. Humpback whales are sentinel species of ecosystem health, and changes in pregnancy rates can provide quantifiable signals of the impact of environmental change at the population level. Our findings must be considered paramount in developing new and more restrictive conservation and management plans for the Antarctic marine ecosystem and minimizing the negative impacts of human activities in the region.

Paradoxically, krill abundance in the Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean has likely declined since the end of commercial whaling (Atkinson et al., 2004)
Climate change also looms large in the Southwest Atlantic, where sustained surface warming has led to ecological shifts over the past several decades (Whitehouse et al., 2008). The whale aggregation and fishing activity reported here was associated with a large spring phytoplankton bloom following an exceptionally warm austral spring and a near-record low in regional sea ice extent.

"Rapid Warming of the Ocean around South Georgia, Southern Ocean, during the 20th Century: Forcings, Characteristics and Implications for Lower Trophic Levels." Deep-Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers 55: 1218- 28.
The Southern Ocean is known to have warmed considerably during the second half of the 20th century but there are few locations with data before the 1950s. Thus the long-term warming around South Georgia is substantial-more so than documented previously for the circumpolar warming of the Southern Ocean. Furthermore, the combination of a regional decline in ice extent and strong upstream warming likely explains a significant part of the strong seasonal variation apparent in the warming trend.
Simple abundance and growth rate relationships with our long-term temperature data appear to show declining habitat suitability for E. superba. [Antarctic krill]
Our dataset indicates significant warming throughout the top 100 m of the ocean in the vicinity of South Georgia. Overall, a simple regression of near-surface (0-10 m) temperatures with year indicates an increase of ?1.54 ?C. When spatial and temporal variations are incorporated in the model, this equates to a skewed warming of ?0.9 ?C over the January months and ?2.3 ?C for August (Table 1). These warmings are thus very significant, exceeding even the strong warming of the near-surface circumpolar

Unfortunately plant germination, growth and breeding are impacted by a wide variety of factors impacted by climate change.
Ask any broad acre farmer about the impact of poorly timed storms on seeding, seed exposure and seedling emergence.
Heat can impact many plants normal growth and breeding cycles, check out Tassie at the moment: it's like they thinks it's spring already and are at risk of frosts etc ruining fruit and seed production for a year.
Changes in geographic range due to temperature change can result in poorer growth and production due to incorrect day length.
And so on. CO2 is vital for plant growth (it's their only source of carbon), but unfortunately many of our production systems won't adapt as fast as we'd like, leaving our food supply at greater risk rather than in prime position

As the video I posted pointed out, the lowest global temperatures in the last 8000+ years were in the late 1800s.
It would be very surprising if the planet hadn't warmed up from that point. It was overdue.
