At some point (not yet) it will reach tipping point when everybody thinks why should I my neighbours don't.

One more point

define normal? Averages Average out! we've had cold years, and hot years.

Interesting article from The Guardian with a timeline of heatwaves since 1911.. It's not actually uncommon for temps greater than 35 to happen every 10 years or so

a threatening letter is harmless. Now if the BBC forced me to watch all their shyte...i would pay the bill in a heartbeat.

The inspectors have no right to enter your house. Never let them in, if you don't watch live broadcast TV you are doing nothing wrong anyway.

Just never allow them entry. Be polite, refuse to answer their questions and shut the door.

They are outside agencies and they operate under commission.

These are not well meaning people....like the BBC itself in my view.

100% agree with this, never let them in & never reply to their threatening letters, i live(most of the time abroad) so, i still get these letters, stopped paying their 'woke' tax a few years ago. Stream stuff nowadays(now that the grandkids showed me how).

Of course every scientist is an idiot and you know best

Stuff like this is merely part of the big scare story. It's a conspiracy to control us buffoons, perpetrated by all the scientists in the field (for some reason).

Scientists have examined greenhouse gases in the context of the past. Analysis of air trapped inside ice that has been accumulating over time in Antarctica shows that the CO2 concentration began to increase significantly in the 19th century, after staying in the range of 260 to 280 ppm for the previous 10,000 years. Ice core records extending back 800,000 years show that during that time, CO2 concentrations remained within the range of 170 to 300 ppm throughout many “ice age” cycles and no concentration above 300 ppm is seen in ice core records until the past 200 years.

Estimating global average surface air temperature increase requires careful analysis of millions of measurements from around the world, including from land stations, ships, and satellites. Despite the many complications of synthesising such data, multiple independent teams have concluded separately and unanimously that global average surface air temperature has risen by about 1 °C (1.8 °F) since 1900. Although the record shows several pauses and accelerations in the increasing trend, each of the last four decades has been warmer than any other decade in the instrumental record since 1850.

Going further back in time before accurate thermometers were widely available, temperatures can be reconstructed using climate-sensitive indicators “proxies” in materials such as tree rings, ice cores, and marine sediments. Comparisons of the thermometer record with these proxy measurements suggest that the time since the early 1980s has been the warmest 40-year period in at least eight centuries, and that global temperature is rising towards peak temperatures last seen 5,000 to 10,000 years ago in the warmest part of our current interglacial period.
