"@DailyMailUK aka the #DailyFail strikes again! Absolute ignorance and snideness as per! On the plus side it’s bought our attention to a brilliant scientist @ChloBrim," wrote one person.

Families are counting the cost of devastating fires amid record temperatures as the country is warned it needs to prepare for more extreme heat in the future.

Major fire incidents were declared in London, Norfolk, Suffolk, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire and South Yorkshire amid the tinder-dry conditions as temperatures climbed above 40C for the first time ever on Tuesday.

London Fire Brigade (LFB) had its busiest day since the Second World War as record temperatures led to hundreds of fires across the capital, with the service taking 2,670 calls.

PhD researcher Chloe Brimicombe appeared on Sky News to discuss the never before seen temperatures in the UK.

Watch

Daily Mail’s Dan Wotton didn’t seem to impressed with her comments, and wrote in his column the following: “Like the grim-faced Sly News reporter who allowed Chloe Brimicombe – a heatwave PhD researcher just out of nappies – to insist working hours must be cut and air conditioning legislated against if we’re to survive the summer, without the slightest hint of a challenge.”

Chloe spotted the comments and reacted in style:

Hi @DailyMailUK in future instead of talking about me behind my back why don't you talk to me like many other media establishments. I am actually an award winning early career scientist who is 25 and educating people about my research. What are you doing? pic.twitter.com/kcqtO3ZEBc

If you hadn't guessed – I didn't say for Air Con to be legislated against if you've seen any of my interviews you'll know I am very much in favour of it for the most vulnerable. But I think the less emissions produced the better.

also please follow @betateach they have excellent information on all things heat pumps. But we do need to make this technology more accessible as part of #climateaction. There is also ongoing research.

This comment might chime with you?

@DailyMailUK aka the #DailyFail strikes again! Absolute ignorance and snideness as per! On the plus side it’s bought our attention to a brilliant scientist @ChloBrim on #climatechange who’s definitely worth a follow https://t.co/vgEtRrCLZV

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
