Temperatures reach 46C in Spain as Europe heatwave continues

Do you have a link for the exclusion bit?
I think this is the official bit.
https://www.gov.uk/apply-boiler-upgrade-scheme/what-you-can-get
It must replace an existing fossil fuel system, and you can't be left with a hybrid system (e.g. heat source plus boiler)
Meaning it must heat water somewhere, using the heat pump. Can you even get a system that heats water and air? And would that be included in this scheme? Some guy on reddit says they're excluded, he may be full of shit.
I'm assuming there's a much more detailed guide than this for installers, full of technical jargon about what is and isn't included, but I can't find that.

You cannot get a grant for a hybrid heat pump system (for example a combination of gas boiler and air source heat pump).
I think it just requires you to have a heat pump for all your water and heating. There appears to be pumps that do both, (mentioned in this article) but that's more research than I can get away with while 'working'.

Don't be silly, I bet your tits are absolutely banging now and would work great in a low cut sundress.
They're definitely bigger!

We cant link this unusual weather to Climate change.. but its unusual weather thats never been seen before at this frequency or ferocity. Its a mystery~!
man if only there was a way to link the changing climate to climate change

While it is hard to link individual extreme weather events to climate change, heatwaves are becoming more common and more intense due to climate change.
Not that hard after all.

A heatwave continues to grip large parts of Europe, with authorities in many countries issuing health warnings amid searing temperatures.
Southern Spain is the worst-affected region, with temperatures in the mid-40s Celsius recorded in Seville and neighbouring areas.
A new heat record for June of 46C was set on Saturday in the town of El Granado, according to Spain's national weather service, which also said this month is on track to be the hottest June on record.
The Spanish roulette is not having a siesta.

wrote last edited by [email protected]From a scientific point of view this is correct, the climate system is too complex to say this particular event is due to climate change. Exceptional events happened in the past too. So you can only draw conclusions from larger statistics. What's solid science is the increasing averages, increasing frequencies of extreme events etc. If it was scientifically informed, that's what this kind of sentence mean.

I had to convert from Common to Freedom for this one. Are y'all ok over there? I'm used to that kind of heat here in the desert but goodness I couldn't imagine 115f near the coast y'all must be dying

We're very aware in the UK but it's not too easy. We have some the oldest housing stock in the world. We don't have central air with no real way to retrofit so it would have to be one room at a time. Our windows aren't designed to house those units I see in NY. We have to rely on very inefficient portable units so I only use it on the really hot days. Energy prices are still high after Russia's invasion. People are adding proper units when extending but only the rich can really afford that.
Split heat pumps are very common in Southern Europe. Modern units have insane efficiency, in the order of 4 units of heat or cold per unit of energy expended, and can be installed almost anywhere, in contrast to central units. The only downside is that they don't provide hot water.

wrote last edited by [email protected]The south of spain usually has dry air, it's at 12% right now.
But even in germany it's okay because it hasn't really rained that much this year (yay climate change), so it's hot but bearable. It's 31Ā°C with "only" 45% right now.
We will get 37Ā°C the next days, so I might change my stance.

Shame I'm a fat old guy now. A few decades back I looked great in a Laura Ashley summer dress.

Wow, joined 5 hours ago, already half the comments removed, and the rest full of hatespeech. Go outside, drink a beer or sth and calm down, bot.
wrote last edited by [email protected]You bring up a good point.
After reading some of the stuff Russia has pulled off (like the fake green protestors slashing tires in the UK that were found out to be Russians part of a wider disinfo campaign), I wouldn't be surprised if they're actually one of those false actors created to keep left wing politics and policy unpopular.
If not, they're certainly carrying the water for them completely.

No, not really, with humidity and no aircon anything over the high 90s starts to get pretty unpleasant, especially when it goes on for days and doesn't cool down properly at night, so you can't cool your house down.

That sentence perfectly states the difficulty though. The trend: easy to link. One individual event: not that easy.

No, individual extreme events are not "changes in climate". It's easy to say that the rise in heatwaves is caused by climate change but it's much harder to prove that this specific individual heatwave would never have happened were it not for climate change.

Have they considered spending 5% of their GDP on weapons? That will surely save humanity.

As this keeps happening I continue to wonder when Europe and the UK will finally realize how badly they need to air conditioning. The units are (or were in the past year or 3)b way more expensive there than here in America. I dunno about current costs. It's worth it though, even if you only need it for like 1 month out of the year.
How badly we need AC?
How about āhow badly we need to get our shit together to stop human caused climate changeā?

The average global temperature has been rising steadily with greenhouse gas emissions, for over 50 years, but sure weāll just ignore that and say itās impossible to know.
We only have the one planet, sometimes you canāt get multiple data sets. But you can certainly study the things that are happening and make predictions based on that.
