All we seem to hear are scaremongering tales of eco-doom. But what do the data reveal about the UK climate? Read the GWPF's latest report to find out:https://t.co/NUkxbtpl7b pic.twitter.com/6wAE5E7LlK
According to author Paul Homewood, the Met Office’s Central England Temperature Record shows that temperatures have barely changed in 20 years and that there has been no increase in extremely hot days either:
The summer of 2018 had just one day over 30 degrees, while 1976 had six. The Met Office’s data show that hot days are just not becoming more common.”
And there seems to be little to worry about on bad weather front either. There has been a gentle decline in storminess, and in most of the UK, there has been no change in either average rainfall or rainfall extremes:
Only in Scotland has there been a noticeable increase”, says Homewood. “Climate hysteria is entirely overdone.”
