It's not just houses that need to adapt to frequently hot weather our entire crop industry will need to adapt and we'll need better firefighting service to combat wildfires

Still 37c here, with not a cloud in the sky.
Still only 30 here, which is the highest its been so far but as its now 4pm I think thats our peak, dont think we're going to get any higher than 30

The thing I have an issue is that we have natural climate cycles including past ice ages, there is no argument the climate is getting hotter, but is it a natural cycle or all caused by Humans, maybe a mixture of both?

Good!

yup, that'll sort out climate change for us in the UK. nice and simple.
More trees / natural land being eaten up to make more space? And more fumes being pumped out ? More on the roads / more flying ?
It's us that are destroying the planet, we maybe intelligent but greed tops it

Not as bad today, sun is obscured by clouds so it can't heat up all the brickwork and act like a giant radiator all day.

Sky has gone yellowy brown, rain incoming... Bring on a temp drop, pls! \o/

Basic chemistry lessons in secondary school should have taught you what greenhouse gasses do to heat and how they trap it. This is a fundamental scientific property known since the 1800s.
We have natural cycles, yes. What we have never seen before is such an accelerated warming cycle on this scale before. What would normally take centuries/millennia is happening in decades.

Greenhouse hit 40 and it's been in the almost full shade for two hours. Front garden shade, only 33 apparently. Feels like a lot more! Living room, 29. 'orrible!
Dwarfed if Yellowstone goes off, obviously. Mother Earth will always have the final say. In the mean time... it's us.
Mixture for sure, but the thought experiment I carry out is imagining every power station in the world (1000s!); every chimney; every vehicle exhaust; every open fire, all running for year after year after year. 8 billion now people cooking, heating, cooling, and moving (too much). How anyone can have the slightest doubt we've made a big difference is beyond me.
