    UK heatwave: Weather forecasters report unprecedented trolling

    Weather forecasters faced unprecedented levels of trolling during this
    month's extreme heat in the UK, according to leading figures in the
    industry.

    The BBC's team received hundreds of abusive tweets or emails
    questioning their reports and telling them to "get a grip", as
    temperatures hit 40C.

    BBC meteorologist Matt Taylor said he had never experienced anything
    like it in nearly 25 years working in weather.

    The Royal Meteorological Society condemned the trolling.

    So many people on earth. And so many stupid. And the internet has given
    them all a megaphone.

    From the article it appears these trolls are violently opposed to any suggestion the heat is related to climate change.
