Quick quiz. June gave Britain a record-breaking heatwave — 37°C, hosepipe bans, the lot. Nearly 2,500 newspaper articles covered it across nine national titles. What share never mentioned climate change at all? Not “blamed it for the heat” — just mentioned it, anywhere. Answer: 72%, according to a new analysis by the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit. * Bottom of the class: The Sun, where 6% of heatwave stories included any climate angle. Ninety-four percent of the time, Britain's loudest tabloid described the country melting without once touching why. At some point that stops being an editorial preference and becomes an athletic achievement. * The Guardian gets the byline for reporting the study — “Most UK media reports on June heatwave failed to mention climate crisis” — and, to its credit, the data grades the Guardian too: roughly half its own heat stories, 64 of 131, made the climate link. The paper reporting the silence is itself half-silent. That's the honest kind of awkward. * Think this was last month's problem? Wednesday morning, BBC News homepage: “UK heatwave delivers exceptional sunshine and persistent 30C temperatures.” Delivers! Exceptional sunshine! Like a gift hamper. A couple of headlines further down the same page: “Hosepipe ban in force for millions of households.” The hamper, it turns out, is confiscating your garden hose. * The study's bleakest stat: fewer than one in twenty June articles mentioned net zero or emissions policy at all. So the average reader got hundreds of stories about how hot it is, how to sleep in it and which beach is fullest — and almost nothing about the one part of the story anyone can actually do something about. * Weather is the rare beat where the cause is established science with a deadline attached. Most of Fleet Street is still filing it under “lovely spell, bring sunscreen.”
