Even as temperatures in the UK reach record hires and we see terrifying examples of global warming all around the world, there are still people who insist on comparing it to 1976.
And we’ve collected a whole bunch of tweets which surely address this ‘1976 and all that’ business best.

[hottest day of year takes place, beating record set three years ago and continuing the trend of ever increasing temperatures backed up by decades of climate data]
Boomer: I have an anecdote about being warm in 1976-
Anyone around from the 1976 heatwave who could tell us how they coped with it?
I bet it was probably by catching nits, playing on train tracks and drinking mercury or something? They could just deal with it then. Not like kids these days who have vegan smartphones for hands.
You're not allowed to compare anything to life in 1976 until you sell me your house for the price you bought it at the time

In my experience the "we didn't make this fuss about the summer of 1976" brigade have literally banged on about how hard the summer of 1976 was every summer since. That's quite a fuss. Heatwaves kill, be sensible, and don't be a dick about people being trying to be sensible
During the 1976 heatwave we didn’t cry and moan, we just put on our duffle coats, turned up the radiators and machine-gunned the Jerries while not wearing a mask
*You* might have survived 1976, but there were actually thousands of excess heat-related deaths that summer. And tomorrow is forecast to be around six degrees hotter than the hottest temperature that year.
So, I dunno, maybe shut the fuck up about 1976? Yeah.
