Hey, c/science! Let's kick off with your take on two recent but linked events. Over the past few days, the Earth has experienced its hottest ever recorded temperatures, breaking records from at least 1979 and possibly longer. At the same time, climate change protestors from Just Stop Oil have been interrupting the Ashes and now Wimbledon.
The question is: do they have a point? It's an interesting juxtaposition to me that news reports highlighting the rising temperatures this week appeared, almost without irony, alongside vox pops from people expressing how unfair it is to ruin a good day out.
What do you think about this situation? Do the climate change protestors have a valid point? Does the government need to take even more drastic steps to address climate change, or do you feel it's unfair or disproportionate to disrupt events like Wimbledon?
