Just do it Journal, change your name already – we all know you want to! I have a few suggestions, if I may… ‘The Climate Journal’, ‘The Daily Weather Journal’ or … how about ‘The Global Weather Report’? … maybe that’s a bit… square? … How about something a bit more quirky maybe? Like… ‘What’s the Weather Like… ALL AROUND THE WORLD?’ … nah, maybe that’s a bit long, and not really THAT quirky I suppose… maybe… I’ve got it! ‘The Weather Journal – “Your source for global, Hourly Weather Reports from Every Corner of The Earth, non-Stop – … wait for it … come Rain or come Shine!” … that’s not bad?? … a BIT long maybe, but there’s no ambiguity – it’s accurate, which is important. Oh! One more: ‘The Climate Journal – Global Weather Reports – wait for it – to the Nth DEGREE’ – that’s not bad?? I got the old ‘degree’ in there!? Clever? I’ll leave it up to yourselves of course, just thought I’d throw those out there… YOU ARE WELCOME!
@Quite Frank: Or maybe the Quite Frank journal! Just throwing it out there.
@Quite Frank: they report extreme weather events as do most reputable news. Maybe stick to GB News or Gript you’re probably more its audience.
@Quite Frank: And yet you’re here, for some reason. Masochism?
@Brendan O’Brien: The exact same reason you’re here Brendan, because we have opinions.
@eoin fitzpatrick: The Journal is for everyone compadre, not just those you agree with.
@Quite Frank: exactly. That is why there are articles on climate change as well as lots of other articles on different subjects. You can read or not read what you wish as well as comment. You appear to be breaking your own tenet and wanting less articles on subjects you don’t agree with. Out of interest. Did you read the article?
Climate change deniers, please explain and tell us what’s going on?
@Emmet Murphy: oh my god, a typhoon is man made climate change now. The stupidity is truly amazing. You wouldn’t be interested in buying a bridge, Emmet – by any chance?
@Emmet Murphy: Didn’t you read the article? It’s a typhoon.
@Emmet Murphy: yes it’s roasting in the south of Europe, its raining in ireland and at the moment there’s a Typhoon in Asia, looks pretty normal to me .
@Dermot Fennelly: There is nothing normal about current weather patterns. By any measure. Look at all the data objectively and together. Extreme weather events are going to become much more common and prolonged and summer seasons are going to really stretch our services and resources to the limit. There’s nothing normal about the scale of pollution and habitat destruction driving this which is staggeringly big.
Hope Haiphong will be alright. Da Nang usually gets the typhoons or the floods but even so its a costly set of repairs each time.
Quite frankly,
You need to chill.
Friend who had experince of Aisa laughed at Irish rain. After 5 days or drizzel, she started going mad ..
