Ok President Trump, if you sue the BBC for $1bn for spreading lies, I’ll sue you for the same amount. I reckon Planet Earth would crowdfund that. Then I’ll buy Mar A Largo, turn it into a climate change research centre, free Melania, and put a 1000% tariff on orange face paint.

As we seem to, yet again, be talking about the hot UK summer of 1976, a reminder that the UK is not the world.

Yes, it was hot that summer over our small region, but the bigger picture tells a different story.

And, we've had hotter UK summers since.
