Mind blown !

Pesky lying scientists...

"Met Office Climate Scientist, Dr Amy Doherty, said: "While we’ve not conducted formal climate attribution studies into June 2025’s two heatwaves, past studies have shown it is virtually certain that human influence has increased the occurrence and intensity of extreme heat events such as this.  ".

 
And just to note, the results are provisional until they are double checked to ensure they are genuine with things like no external influences.
 
No, but it does confuse and annoy me. It is much better to say something like "eighteen out of twenty of the hottest days on record have occurred in the past ten years".

Which is what is happening, and is being reported as such
 


Hottest June since 1884, while you might have enjoyed it it was worryingly hot.
So the article and headlines are designed to fool people like you into misquoting it by saying hottest June since 1884.
When in fact what this is saying (second warmest since 1884 ) is that it temp hasn’t gone up in in over 120years.
They also mix and match England and UK- Some people are easily scammed.

Second warmest means that last month was in the top 1.3% of all recorded Junes.

Now an idiot might say 'aha the temperature isn't going up then because there was once a warmer June!'. But of course anyone who isn't the result of five generations of inbreeding knows that there's variation and even if temperature is rising not ever single year will be a record breaker. As it is the record from 2023 still stands.

Oh, did you get fooled by the headline? 1884 wasn't the hottest June, it's when we started gathering detailed temperature records.

You are still misquoting and getting stuff wrong - the poster boy record was recorded in 2022 not 2023 - you know that one placed next to fighter jet base taxiway giving out iffy temps ! If you are going to throw insults at least do it in a way that doesn’t make you look stupid

Two heatwaves and historic highs
According to provisional data, the UK’s mean temperature of 15.2°C for June was the second highest on record for the month, only surpassed by June 2023, which recorded 15.8°C.
So, no.


And it still hammers home how hot the recent years have been. If the temperature wasn't going up then the records should be evenly spread over the years, but they aren't. The top 10 hottest years in the UK are all since 2003.

And those records keep going up even for instruments out in the middle of nowhere, it is not your fantasies about jet engine exhaust or the infamous heat island of Coningsby.

Yep totally agree with that, virtually about past studies that human influence has increased the occurrence of events such as.__
Its all woolly wording and riddled with caveats.

Scientists still refer to gravity as a theory. It is very rare for actual scientists to give certainties as they've been trained to always try to pick holes in their results.

Sadly this means that people who haven't had any scientific training misunderstand them.

You are still managing to pick the wrong examples to make your point. You use gravity as a for certain thing as a point to saying its "still called a theory"
And yet it is now being shown to be wrong
