Do you think scientists rely on a thermometer readings in Coningsbury, when gathering global warming data?
Lol.

The irony meter has left the building!!
Pointing out your rancid bullsh1t is not being opinionated
You are a foolish Brexit supporting, Trump loving climate change denier
Meanwhile,
.....you prefer to line the pockets of the very same government with your fossil-fuel economy-based taxes, as well as keep Gulf residents in the Bugattis to which they are accustomed
Whatcha gonna do when you're behind 3 billion Chinese and Indians in the queue for the black gold which, through supply and demand, is now far in excess of what you can afford?
Thumbing for a lift from someone with an EV perhaps, charged up with some lovely UK-spec winds or tides, perhaps?
Fingers crossed that those Arabs don't ramp up the prices, or even turn off the taps altogether

So science cannot be trusted, except maybe the bits you like. Gut feelings are not a good way to form an opinion on things.
Science shows you, in detail, how climate change works. Why not say where it is going wrong rather than just claiming they are all lying?
As an example, the Siberian Traps (a volcanic "event" 250 million years ago) is thought to have contributed to the high temperatures of that time.
The Siberian Traps erupted continuously, for a couple of million years. IIRC; been a while since I studied the subject.
We've only had a couple of hundred years at it.
On Dr David Bellamy.
Had a number of views on ACC; takes yer pick.
In 2008 Bellamy signed the Manhattan Declaration, calling for the immediate halt to any tax-funded attempts to counteract climate change.[29] He maintained a view that man-made climate change is "poppycock", insisting that climate change is part of a natural cycle.[30][31]
His opinions changed the way some organisations viewed Bellamy. The Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts stated in 2005, "We are not happy with his line on climate change",[32] and Bellamy, who had been president of the Wildlife Trusts since 1995,[11] was succeeded by Aubrey Manning in November 2005.[33] Bellamy asserted that his views on global warming resulted in the rejection of programme ideas by the BBC.[30][34]

Views on global warming[edit]
In Bellamy's foreword to the 1989 book The Greenhouse Effect,[24] he wrote:Bellamy's later statements on global warming indicate that he subsequently changed his views. A letter he published on 16 April 2005 in New Scientist asserted that a large proportion (555 of 625) of the glaciers being observed by the World Glacier Monitoring Service were advancing, not retreating.[25] George Monbiot of The Guardian tracked down Bellamy's original source for this information and found that it was from discredited data originally published by Fred Singer, who claimed to have obtained these figures from a 1989 article in the journal Science; however, Monbiot proved that this article had never existed.[26] Bellamy subsequently accepted that his figures on glaciers were wrong, and announced in a letter to The Sunday Times in 2005 that he had "decided to draw back from the debate on global warming",[27] although Bellamy jointly authored a paper with Jack Barrett in the refereed Civil Engineering journal of the Institution of Civil Engineers, entitled "Climate stability: an inconvenient proof" in May 2007.[28]

Yes there is a climate emergency, due to greenhouse gasses.
All the people in low emitting countries are up in arms about the impact, demanding their governments reduce their already low emissions and adopt policies that place a burden on their citizens lives, while those in high emitting countries focus on growing their economy.

Even if those numbers stacked up, then the wind farms are really not that green and environmentally friendly, as they are sold to be.

Even in its relatively early days. Harnessing the power of the wind, the sun and even tides has got to be better than burning coal, oil or anything else.
Yes, it's not ideal yet.

But this is exactly what the UK media does when they quote the highest "EVER" uk temp. They quote it like its that everywhere at that time - a more accurate measurement surly would be to quote the average UK temp but I suppose that would not produce the affect they are looking for to fit their climate disaster narrative would it.
