Build a green grid. Don’t need a genius for that.

The conversation for the last 25 years:

“Let’s build nuclear power plants.

It takes a decades. Not enough time.”

Recently the twist was added:

“And by the way solar and wind are cheaper”

Well, get it done! No geniuses needed!

Japan's mean time to build a nuclear power plant is 5 years. It takes long if you make it take long.

I read that one government in Europe promised to accelerate processes for defence and energy industries in the light of an existential crisis and will make decisions in one and a half years instead of three now. No, I'm not joking.

Enjoy it while it lasts, it'll never be this cold again.

I'm optimistic. It'll never be this cold again within our lifetimes.

As someone that enjoys 120 degree weather and hates the cold (70 and below) that sounds great to me but the lack of water is probably going to kill us all.

The 'problem' while the UK had a warmer than average spring - that warms was mainly from cloudy damp nights that hold on the heat - the days weren't particularly warm.

The UK for one is likely to get cooler during the period of global warming, but with wider peaks and troughs and more rain.

More rain in the UK? Now that's taking the piss.

Amazing congratulations on that magnificent article leaving out that we had 4 CMEs overlaying each other hitting the earth directly.[1]

Amazing congratulations on implying climate change comes from outer space.

You've managed to pick the one angle for your response that's a bit silly. The sun does contribute to climate change, in all its forms.
