Gary Lineker tweeted about climate change and these replies 100% proved his point
We’re some way off the height of summer but we’re already seeing extraordinary temperatures around the world, with a third of Americans told to stay indoors and India in the grip of a brutal heatwave.
There’s also a heat alert in the UK and it was presumably with all this in mind that Gary Lineker said this on Twitter.
Another heatwave over Europe and elsewhere. Records broken year on year. We’re like a cancer patient who knows there’s a tumour, but prefers to ignore it and hopes it goes away, even though it gets larger everyday. #DontLookUp

And if the Match of the Day man needed any more evidence for the point he was trying to make, then these people’s replies were surely more than adequate.

Not everyone replied like that, obviously.
Spot on Gary. One of my hobbies is Meteorology. Once you have a knowledge of how it’s been,and what’s happening now it’s impossible to ignore. Although we’ll probably have some daft twat come in here and tell you to stick to football. 🤦

To conclude …
In which so many of the replies confirm the patient’s belligerent ignorance of the seriousness of their condition. https://t.co/FvWhPp2lBe

Last word to @GaryLineker.
Lots of experts on here thinking it’s just a warm couple of days in summer. I prefer to read actual real experts in their field. https://t.co/BpN9LngmnC
