Monbiot’s Silence – Wrong Kind of Heat as Orange Groves Refuse to Attack « The Unbearable Nakedness of CLIMATE CHANGE
There is simply no way to present the recent heatwave in a negative light.
Not even the BBC was able to manage to do that, in the absence of buckled trainlines or homes without electrical power or square miles of burned forests or queues of distressed elderly at A&E departments. Because (and of course) if Britain were to become hotter than it is now, nobody would complain. You can’t scare people in acting against a change that feels, sounds, looks and is pleasant.
...
Paradoxically then, and quite ironically, our beloved (?) reporters are forced during a heatwave to admit defeat or ignore “climate change”, losing the chance of driving the climate-is-dangerously-warming message home.
For them, it is simply the wrong kind of heat.
