39 degrees in the UK is the sign of dire times coming our way, it has absolutely nothing glorious.
- fingerlocks 4y agoSign of the dire times came a couple decades ago https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_European_heat_wave https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_European_heat_wave
- lynndotpy 4y agoYep. 2022 was the hottest summer since 2003, and 2003 was the hottest summer since 1540. Very dire.
- thebigspacefuck 4y agoWill this have similar effects on crops? Seems like bad timing
- cinntaile 4y agoAs a result of climate change you get more extreme weather, but how does that automatically result in dire times?
- a-priori 4y agoWhen it starts interfering with agriculture by killing crops, resulting in famine and food shortages.
- cinntaile 4y agoI understand how it can happen, but the original poster wrote in such a way that this would be inevitable. I don't think that is certain.

- a-priori 4y agoThis isn’t some speculative thing. It literally happened in the 2003 heat wave, where crops failed due to the extreme heat. With even higher temperatures in this heat wave it will certainly happen this year too. As these sorts of heat waves become more frequent, our food supply will become more unstable which, left unchecked, will eventually result in famine even in rich parts of the world like Europe.
