This is another issue. New forms of climate accountability have certainly come about as a result, but clearly a double reality of a mismatch between discourse and practice remains ongoing.

Social movements and climate scientists thus seem to have been successful in raising these concerns, even for the case of British heatwaves. Will this shift in discourse have an impact on how politicians, policymakers and individual citizens deal with these concerns in their actions?

Were heatwaves back then also seen as a reason to go to the beach and ice cream, today their dominant framing is one of doom. This is mostly related climate concerns becoming highly present in the last decades. The occurrence of a new heatwave case now is mostly a vehicle to voice these concerns.

The Brits traditionally consider them a fortunate break from dull weather. We analyze the development of their framing through analyzing 35.217 British newspaper articles.

We find a genre shift: from a combination of romantic and apocalyptic in the 1980s and 1990s to apocalyptic dominance today.
