And why is the bill rising 51%? Not because of renewables!
So you are right in a way, continued use of fossil fuels is not sustainable.

There is a global warming, it is accelerating and things become worse by the day.
There is no data for "cold records broken", but even if there could be one or two cases, they wouldn't influence the global picture.
Because of tax for emissions, I presume.
Because of gas prices..
Natural gas is fossil fuel and should be banned. Germany with Nord Stream 1 and 2 has absolutely zero initiative or interest in dependence to Russia.
The data needs to be visible if 400 stations record highs, how many if any are reporting historical lows?
Transparency is key
That's the rise, but over 25% of current costs are taxes to subsidise renewables.
I would rather see that 25% invested in nuclear energy.
No data? Your 100% sure? Or just not interested in balance.
. [, the weather station Nova vas na Blokah hit -20.6 °C and set the new official lowest temperature for April (the previous record at the station Nova vas was -18.0 °C set on April 4th, 1970)
weather station in the village Retje near Loški Potok.
The previous official record for Slovenia was held by station Pokljuka (elevation approx 1350 m ASL), with -20.4 °C set back on Apr 9th, 1956.

Cherry picking data is not science, we need to see all data..

So as you build more wind turbbines and solar they MUST be paid to generate or not generate if and when they are available. It's the market rules. So you now have more generation that is actually useful sitting around not making money when wind and solar are generating. But when as regulalry happens they don't or it is insufficient to meet demand the reliable fossil plant needs to turn on.
-So we are paying for under utilisation of fossil plant in capacity market payments effectively.
-We are paying for the increased breakdowns caused by extremely agressive running regimes.. on, off, on, off, on, off you get the idea.
-We are also paying for risk. Eye watering risk. If next week your CCGT fell over over it would cost you £500k a day minimum to buy back the electricity you were committed to producing. If the temps are a bit cold and the wind below 50% of rated capacity that's going to be more like £4million a day. 10 years ago £1000 per MWh prices were considered price gouging and oil station were getting told off for offering them. This winter, several times a month for back to back days the spot price has reached in excess of £1000 per MWh.
Gas prices have shot up but that is only part of the story our electricity generation is approaching breaking point. Dungeoness and Hunterston AGR's will be gone soon. Sutton Bridge, Baglan Bay and Severn Power have been shut for several years. The last coalers are going over the next 18 months. The reliable portion of UK generation is it's smallest ever. That comes with costs.

False positive.
That is a fake data. Because of climate change, there are cold spells of weather in isolated regions.
It is like the cold air from Siberia moved over Europe and stayed in there for a while till it mixed with the warmer air masses from the Atlantic ocean.
Meanwhile, the reality:
“You can certainly see the effect of climate change in our weather in Kenya, and globally. We’re just putting together the data for 2021, but we think we will have seen an annual temperature which is 2.1C higher than normal for some parts of the country. The shifts are very noticeable, from one extreme to another in a very short space of time.”
Heat records broken all around the world in 2021, says climatologist (msn.com)
Your a naive fool. Good bye.
I don't know if trolling is still allowed. I guess it is...
A different opinion is not trolling, grow up

A different opinion that states some observations but doesn't try to explain them, right?
Storm-Steering Jet Stream Could Shift Poleward in 40 Years - Scientific American
"The North Atlantic jet stream, a fast-moving air current circling the Northern Hemisphere, may migrate northward in the coming decades if strong global warming continues.
The consequences could be dramatic: shifts in rainfall patterns across the midlatitudes and an increase in droughts, heat waves, floods and other extreme weather events in Europe and the eastern U.S.
A new study finds that the jet stream could shift outside the bounds of its historic range within just a few decades — by the year 2060 or so — under a strong warming scenario. The findings were published last week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."
Weakening jet stream causes the normal westerlies wind blowing over Europe to change direction and start blowing easterlies. Which means cold air from Russia has a higher chance to sit over Western Europe.

Not my area of expertise, I just want to see all data not just data showing one side.
Balance.
What do you think will happen to northern Europe when the guild stream drops down?
The Sahara desert was under water 15,000 years ago. Where do you think the gulf stream was positioned then? What did. The UK look like 11,500 or so years ago?

Global warming is natural that's why the ice age happened, its very alarmist and fashionable to say climate change is a man made thing.
I watched a docu that said the stream is moving regardless of global warming seemed pretty convincing...
if the poles flip they will blame global warming too, if the moon pulls stronger on the tides, global warming.
just the leap to answer for all our problems these days
100% agree, some climate change is happening, but it's nowhere near is bad as the doom merchants are saying it is. But what is clear that for the last 10 years all sorts of companies have used it as an excuse to squeeze more money out of the general public, from supermarkets charging us for plastic bags to energy companies rising prices to eye-watering levels. It's obvious and frankly disgusting
