Record UK temperatures fuel climate change fears – BBC News
The UK has recorded record temperatures above 40C for the first time, heightening concern over the impact of global climate change.
Thermometers hit 40.3C at Coningsby in Lincolnshire while dozens of other locations exceeded the UK’s previous highest recorded temperature of 38.7C.
Fire services declared major incidents after a spate of blazes. Some rail services were cancelled after tracks overheated or buckled and overhead cables failed.
The Met Office chief of science and technology Prof Stephen Belcher said exceeding 40C in the UK was “virtually impossible” in an undisrupted climate. However global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions meant extreme temperatures had become common.
The world has already warmed by about 1.1C since the start of the industrial era and climate scientists say that temperatures will keep rising unless governments around the world make steep cuts to emissions.

Tens of thousands of organisations have been caught out by a computer virus called WannaCry. The malicious software locks data away and demands a payment of up to $300 (£230) a time before it will restore scrambled files. In the UK, many hospitals fell victim and some health organisations diverted ambulances and cancelled non-essential services as they sought to contain and clean up the infection. Infections in more than 99 nations are being reported by security firms. It appears that the hardest hit are Russia and Spain.

A year ago, artificial intelligence was being sold as something close to science fiction — a technology that could transform society, cure disease, even reshape the global economy.
Today, the tone is changing. The companies leading the revolution are racing to the stock market — chasing billions in investment — while quietly confronting a much harder reality: AI is expensive, unpredictable, and far from profitable.
At the same time, some of the very people building this technology are warning we may be going too fast — even calling for a global pause.
And beyond Silicon Valley, a different story is emerging: growing public anxiety, political backlash, and the rise of what some are calling anti-AI populism.
So is AI entering its most pivotal moment yet — caught between financial pressure, technological risk, and political resistance?
AI Decoded Presenter Christian Fraser is joined by Financial Times AI Editor Madhumita Murgia, Thematic Strategist at Deutsche Bank Research Adrian Cox and Richard Coffin, Host of popular investing podcast ‘ The Plain Bagel’.

As I sit here today, amongst 5 local flood warnings, aquifers full and over flowing , 3 times the amount of rainfall this winter I muse over the apocalyptic mutterings of climate scientists last year predicting intensified droughts for the UK. They really know nothing except creating an atmosphere of fear amongst the public . One further thing on fires, we heard a lot about Australia and their wild fires but proper research shows that recent fires are at a much lower level than previously occured. The main problem in Australia is lack of mmanagement of eucalyptus forests where lack of good husbandry in recent years has allowed oil filled leaf littter to build up. Same for the UK on heathland, the attempt to drive out ancient practices has allowed growth to continue causing greater amount of fuel to be available when fires start, (as they always have, except in wet summers) creating more of a problem. Unfortunately the BBC are instructed to only allow the climate scientists narrative it seems…as no balanced debate has ever been heard on their channel. It is the public that are paying dearly.
