It blows my mind how alarmist the news is now

[Hoppipolla]

Like here, which I think is real:

Or this article where the "In Context" section which I believe is much more recently added is far more alarmist than the 2003 text.

BBC ON THIS DAY | 10 | 2003: Britain swelters in record heat

I think the media is just like this in general now. It's insane.

40 degree C is dangerous, you can easily die from heatstroke at that temperature: they should be alarmist.

I mean, it's 38. Which is only one degree higher than in the 2003 forecast.

I guess though if people like this kind of coverage then that's great but it's not really for me. I don't need my weather reports to be getting all intense every time it's particularly hot or cold!

~ 70k died in Europe in 2003 due to the heatwave.

So you actually like the red maps and stuff? That's interesting, genuinely.

If people like it then that's great. As I say I prefer to just be told the numbers and I work things out for myself. I don't need drama from a weatherman, lol

Of all people!

But yeah if some people like it then that gives me a bit more faith in the direction they're taking these forecasts.

If you see orange instead of red, you might not take the appropriate measures to prevent heat stroke.

Yeah, let the weak faggots die then. That is actually natural selection at play.

So? How many people die from abortion in YouRope, every year?

How many die from multiculturalism every year?

Yeah, this is alarmism. jfl

apparently they didn't learn their lesson since majority of households (and hospitals) in Europe still do not have A/C installed, while Europeans continue to die from the current heatwave. I still can't believe how backwards Europe is when it comes to A/C which is considered a basic and necessary infrastructure in any other part of the developed world.

You’re right, but this is kind of a shitty example given how many people died during that last heatwave. I mean, you could just look on Twitter for this same alarmist whinging.

72,000 people died in the 2003 one.
