You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …

Kind of ironic considering the climate protests on the way in.
How is that ironic?
A festival shooing away protestors protesting climate change and then that festival experiencing an extreme weather event because of climate change
Ah, gotcha. I missed the story. Still not strictly ironic, but I get what you meant now.
Is there a word for it? When I posted it I was hoping someone might correct me :)

It just happened and was in the news so shouldn’t be hard to find if you have the nagging curiousities

Not at all. That’s how it works. More climate change, more random weather events. Or if you like things simple “it rained because of climate change”.
Weather and climate are not the same thing
Yet they are not mutually exclusive.
It’s just stupid how people deny climate change because it can still rain and still get cold.
wEATheR and ClImate are nOt The same thINg
You deny climate change?
I’m mocking you for denying it.
A climate change denier doesn’t understand that climate and weather are not the same thing. My original reply was responding to the comment that said it was ironic that there were climate protests, and then it rained a lot, which is a climate denier thing to say. So I was challenging that.
They’re not denying it.
They’re stupid and definitely made it seem like they were, but they weren’t.
How do you thread the needle between “stupid statement that sounds like denial but isn’t” and just denial. You have a crystal ball over there?
He thought you were a climate change denier because climate change deniers often confuse weather with climate. The difference is time scale. Weather is day to day(like the daily temperature and if it rains that day), Climate is longer term (like average annual temperature or how Manny days of rain you get in a year, ect.)
Bingo. I thought it was clear, but obviously there was confusion.
You could have a bit of charity in your interpretation of someone else’s words. The guy you originally replied to didn’t seem like he was trying to deny anything.
This is their comment. If you actually took the requisite 30 seconds it took to look at this persons other comments you would have seen that.
Doesn’t take a crystal ball to read words on a screen.
