A NUMBER OF posts on social media this summer have suggested that higher-than-usual temperatures in Ireland are part of normal weather patterns for this time of year.
However, the same arguments are also used by climate change deniers who spread misinformation about the crisis now facing the planet. Similar tactics are now being used in Ireland, with comparisons to previous summers being taken out of context to downplay the impact of climate change on how warm it has been this year.Looking at the statistics alone, it is clear to see that the warm weather across the northern hemisphere this summer is far from normal.
And while extremely hot weather does occur within natural climate variability, the evidence shows that the hotter-than-usual weather we’ve experienced is far outside the margins of what could normally be expected. Record high temperatures were also recorded at nine synoptic stations and across many locations in Ireland.
Emeritus Professor of Geography at Maynooth University John Sweeney explained that such high temperatures this summer have been primarily driven by climate change.“And the evidence points increasingly to the fact that these kinds of heat wave events are occurring in greater intensity and greater frequency by climate change.“There’s a recent report on the July heatwave in England which indicates that it was ten times more probable to have occurred as a consequence of climate change.
Temperatures have already risen above 30 degrees in two years in the current decade , as well as five times in the past ten years , where previously this only happened three or four times in a ten-year spell. After Ireland recorded its highest temperature since 1887, the UK reached 40 degrees for the first time, while Wales and Scotland also posted their highest-ever temperatures.
Dangerous heatwaves have occurred in Europe in the past, but studies suggest that these are becoming more frequent. A spokesperson for Met Éireann’s climate services division echoed this, explaining that temperature extremes which currently being seen in Europe are directly influenced by climate change.

Grand bit of weather it was, heres hoping for more like it in the future. Long enough running around dodging showers!
I doubt any of the shill ‘journalists’ have been allowed out of their propaganda camp to even understand what life is like outside of the gulag these days. The rest of us are enjoying it.
True because we used to use fahrenheit
Remember, this are the same experts that in the 70's and 80's said that we were at the gates of a new ice age and anybody saying they were morons was called 'climate change deniers'. 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Jesus fuckin Christ. This article is an abomination.
I get why someone invested in fossil fuels etc would want to deny climate change is real but what's in it for the rest of yiz here? Or is it just part of the typical anti woke/vax/immigrant/everything playbook?
ClimateChange = political, financial, and most importantly, ideological agenda. ‘Having fallen out of favor during World War II due to its associations with Nazism, eugenics returned with gusto under the banner of populationcontrol after the war.’
The fact that you gowls think because we got what 6/7 days of very nice weather is any different than another other typical irish summer really is laughable . We do get small patterns of very nice weather in ireland from time to time. Its NOTHING new ffs.
You are absolute 🤡's
It’s not but you are told to say it is .. selling your soul for money
Exactly 0 people agree with your nonsense 😂
This rag is nothing more than a collection of woke millennial children with keyboards. Pushing lie after lie, narrative after narrative, digging the biggest hole for yourselves. You haven't the collective intelligence to check the time on a clock, let alone complex data.! FRO🖕
We have all had summers . We know what they look like . But , thanks x
“Here’s why…” articles assume a dumb readership, and universally suck.
Good job thejournal were not in Alicante last weekend.Cop on ye clowns
Lies!
Are the spastic Green party funding the rag Journal now?
Enjoy it. We’ll be lighting fires in 6 weeks
What not normal is all them planes above Ireland spraying us
Of course it's not normal. We are goosed for future. It's not enough to stop carbon output. Years, decades of carbon capture is needed at massive levels.
FFS stop it already
Imagine reading an article that sources and explains and then still shout 'ghdjsksuehhshshs climate change you are fake news!!!' without having read the article.
The journal takes its information from social media....lol. shite article with shite reference. No one believes social media without checking facts elsewhere unless they have an iq below 80 which is incidentally most republicans in the USA.
I’m 58, we’ve never had weather this hot
Nobody believes a whiff of any of your debunk nonsense. Same debunk nonsense you lads peddled during CoVID.. which 99% all turned out to be true.
Wow loads of climate crisis deniers on this comment stream. Ya'll need to grow up and get your heads out of the sand otherwise all you'll see is sand.
Let’s increase taxes! Meanwhile China is laughing all the way to bank.
= Clickbait machine
Because when have had dreadful summers for thirty years and heat is a memory of the older generations but the misery merchants decry a bit of decent summer weather .
Debunked : the journal has journalists.
rbohanmartin remind you of anyone? 🙄
In 1887, when the hottest day was recorded, climate activists claimed that it was misleading to say that any other year had ever been like it. They glued themselves to old wooden carts to prove their point. ClimateEmergency in 1887. We should have listened.
You know you're about to read some propaganda when 'Debunked' is in the headline.
It's not misleading. It was always lovely. I'd say it was even too hot
I remember it being 35
Comments off echo chamber.
More propaganda from the journal. How much did Martin pay yee for that one. That's why it's called a heat wave. It's a temp wave. That indicates it's not normal ffs.
More bull from journal_ie and suprise suprise the comments are closed. More of an activist site than journalistic.
It is lovely I will worry about it when it hits 50c Which it never will in Ireland In my lifetime
