Meteorologist John Hammond warned that temperatures were about to spike in Britain, something he predicted would kill hundreds — even thousands. Anchor Bev Turner interrupted: “So, John, I want us to be happy about the weather.”
on Twitter that Hammond was right in saying the country was not “geared up to cope” with the heat, she said it has not suffered an abnormal spate of deaths because of it. Hammond told The Post in an online message that it’s too early to tally such figures.After Turner implored him to be happy about the weather, Hammond pushed back. Again, he reminded her that he was predicting it would kill people.
Turner also likened the heat wave to one that happened 46 years ago: “Haven’t we always had hot weather, John? Wasn’t the ’76 — the summer of ’76 — that was as hot as this, wasn’t it?” “Uh, no,” Hammond replied. He’s right — the peak temperature that year was about 96.6 degrees Fahrenheit compared with 104.5 so far this year,. Although people bring up 1976 as a way to dismiss climate change, it was a “freak event,” Hammond said. Unlike that outlier, Britain is now “seeing more and more records, more and more frequently, and more and more severely,” he said during the GB News segment.
