> UK has been so hot and dry this year that you are getting wild fires in England. The UK does get wild fires. They are mostly controlled for the most part due to the great efforts of the forestry commission. > WTF is wrong with people here are you guys so brainwashed by all the propaganda from oil and gas companies that you need to qualify every data point about global warming as maybe. No, we need to be careful about pointing at specific data points and shouting "SEE!", because if it turns out not to be related, you hurt your argument. > In the last year we have got a huge number of data points from around the world showing effects of global warming but each article on hackernews about it top comment is a qualifying statement. There is no problem with caution, and no problem with honest good faith discussion. > Stop being ostriches and burying your head in the sand. Every generation believes in some disaster within their lifetime. This mostly affects young people, and then they grow older and see things don't actually really change so much.
