Studies are under way
Here in Derbyshire as I sip my morning coffee, the gas fire is flickering away because outside it's grey, wet and unseasonably cold.
Not what we've been promised for decades by the climate crowd in other words. Maybe I should check what the BBC is telling us. For entertainment value only you understand -
Dangerous heatwaves in Europe could break further records, the UN says.
It is hard to immediately link these events to climate change because weather - and oceans - are so complex.
Studies are under way, but scientists already fear some worst-case scenarios are unfolding.
Ah - so I can't immediately link this grey, wet and unseasonably cold weather to climate change because it's all so complex. No matter - studies are under way. That would be paid studies of course. Those paid studies which have been under way for decades.

In particular, computer scientists are concerned that standard laptops will soon be unable to accommodate the "hot" colours required by the BBC in their pictures and graphics. Werner Brainerd of UCL said "The standard pictures of baking sandy wastes with the sky all bleached out have had their day, and are no longer scary enough to panic the public. And there's no darker red the BBC can use on standard computers - we simply don't have any resources left." And Melissa Fynart from the Institute of Graphic Designers said "This is the first year that the BBC graphs have consistently hit the top of the screen. We've simply run out of two-dimensional space."
Sam - they are probably working on 3D screens where roaring flames and great streamers of red hot lava appear to leap out at you from the weather map.
