BBC Weather Dept Explains To The Hard Of Thinking

Unbelievably there are still some people unconvinced that Climate Change is happening and the numpties are out in force as records tumble across the globe, mostly on Social Media accusing the BBC Weather Department of misreporting and driving fear with 'supposed' terrifying temperatures during the  heatwave sweeping through parts of Europe, North America and Africa.
Luckily the BBC Weather Department is full of numpties and have been answering the strangely disturbed people each time they rear their funny little heads so first up the claim was that 40C plus figures are the ground temperature to which the BBC replied by posting pictures of the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) Stevenson Screens used Worldwide sitting 1.25 meters above ground to prevent the reading being effected by direct heat from the ground and other hard surfaces.
The peculiar non-believers then went onto claiming there was no evidence that the high temperatures reported by the BBC were not backed by evidence for which the BBC replied by publishing the data from the published by the countries own Meteorological Services confirms the high temperatures reported, confirmed by the WMO.
They then claimed that the BBC Weather App for some cities was lower than the temperature they later reported to which the BBC politely explained that while forecasting includes many complex models and they aim to get as close as possible to the actual expected temperatures, it is only a forecast and they are updated once the confirmed maximum temperatures have been reached.
Finally they say the BBC is scaremongering by using a new dark red on the weather maps and they said yep, red is used when it is hot weather and blue is used when it is cold weather which are the standard colours to represent hot and cold on weather maps and the red is a deeper red simply because it needs to be darker than the red used for other high temperatures for temperatures we've never experienced before.
I would suggest to the hard of thinking to dip their feet in the kids paddling pool, pop another few ice cubes in their glass and stop embarrassing themselves by ignoring what is staring them in their red, flushed, sweaty face.

the climate has never been static. ever. not even for a nano-second. it is too big and has too many elements to ever be static.
