re: Western Europe Is Experiencing Record Heat and Politicians Don’t Seem to Care

This year's is supposed to be strong, but the strongest on record occurred in the 1870s.

Point being that the weather has always been widely variable and the evidence that humans have any meaningful impact is minimal or suspect.

France hit 111 either earlier today or yesterday. 111 in fricking France

I don't check the weather in France! I was going off what Crowder said.
Either way, I don't feel sorry for em!
I've worked outside in hot and cold for the last 36 years!

And temps are expected to ease within a week! shite, we don't get our hottest weather until August!!!
Nah, no fricks given for their wimpy 100°!

France has been in the midst of an extreme, record-breaking heatwave in late June 2026, with unusually high temperatures across much of the country.

npr.org +1

National averages (Météo-France's "thermal indicator," averaging day/night temps from ~30 stations) hit record highs:Around 29.8°C (85.6°F) on June 23 (hottest day on record, breaking prior marks from 2003/2019).

Similar or slightly higher on June 24.

Daily high temperatures (maxima) have been far above June norms (typically 20–25°C/68–77°F in the north, warmer in the south). Many areas saw 35–44°C (95–111°F), with widespread records.

Other RegionsWestern/Southwest (e.g., Bordeaux area): Even hotter, with peaks of 41–44.3°C (106–111.7°F) around June 23–24 (e.g., 107.6°F max in Bordeaux data).

South (e.g., Marseille/Provence): Typically warmer baseline, with many days exceeding 35–40°C.
Variations exist due to France's size (cooler north/coasts at times, but the heat dome affected most areas).

I like how everything you posted basically takes a huge shite on your own opinion

We aren't seeing any unnatural climate change.

Just cyclical stuff.

Tornado Alley has shifted, but that has happened before in recorded history. Several times. My area used to be right in the bullseye in central Oklahoma and it wasn't uncommon to see 10+ tornadoes within 15 miles of town in a year. This year there was one lone spin-up, albeit brief.

It's almost July and we're flooding- but I'm old enough to have seen that a few times too.

With the climate people, the "science" is never scientific. The goalposts move as quickly as Jerry Nadler's bowels after an all-you-can-eat Mexican buffet. This "El Niño" moving around, I was told was going to plunge my area into drought and I might not see rain for a year. Could have canoed to work on Tuesday. But now it's "a SUPER El Niño" so they say it's normal for it to do the exact opposite of what they first said it would do. Hell, I remember Al Gore telling me that Florida would be underwater by 2020 if I didn't vote for him for President.

Fun times.

It’s called summer dipshit.

There lil ole 100° temp still isn't anything severe

10 to 20 degrees C above normal ranges isn't severe?

Buddy, I don't think you understand the information that's staring you right in the face.

And sadly that doesn't surprise me.

It's not a hoax. It's just overstated and over politicized.

The funny thing is you probably don't even know why you think it's a hoax. I'll help you - because it's politicized and you fell for the propaganda.

Until these “records” are broken year after year I’m not concerned about climate change.

5 of the hottest years on record are from 2016 to 2025

3 of those 5 were 23,24,25

Does that look like any sort of pattern to you or no?

You do know that written temperature records have only been kept since the late 1870's/early 1880's right?

So all of this "hottest year on record " bullshite is just that, bullshite.

The Earth has been much hotter over its life.

Wait.... let me understand your point here. You expect me to consider temperatures (and higher temperatures) that I, and many others, deal with for several months every summer as severe??????

No. I'm trying to get you to understand the concept of things being outside of recorded norms. Something you would have naturally picked up on if you were educated.
