NYT and Droughts. BBC -- Climate Claims about Storms/Extreme Weather. BBC--Climate Claims and Heatwaves. ABC--Extreme Heat. Germany’s DWD National Weather Service Accused Of Issuing Fake Weather News, Alarmism. German climate skeptic Snowfan here reports that Germany’s DWD National Weather Service has been caught deliberately spreading climate alarmism ahead of the COP24 using “fake news” in its press release of December 3, 2018, where it announced: 2018 could be the warmest and driest year since 1881.“ Snowfan replied on December 9th that 2018 could not be “the driest year” because the German Weather Service knew plenty of precipitation was in the pipeline for December, 2018.
As Snowfan shows, the old record of 555.1 mm/m² of mean precipitation across Germany was set way back in 1959, (see chart below). Germany’s mean annual precipitation since 1881. Bad Weather Proves Climate Change, Says WMO. By Paul Homewood From the “A bit of bad weather proves climate change “ Dept.
An unbelievably crass piece from the failed Independent (and doubtlessly the BBC and the rest of the dismal MSM): There is “no room for doubt”. The astonishing weather experienced by the world last year and advances in climate science demonstrate conclusively that fossil fuel emissions are causing global warming – and something must be done about it. That was the reaction from scientist after scientist to a new report by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), which documented record-breaking droughts, heatwaves, rainfall, melting of sea ice and a host of tangible signs observed in 2016 that the Earth’s climate has changed.
Claim: ‘Megadrought risks in Southwest soar as atmosphere warms’ based on model, ignores records. From Cornell University and the CMIP modeling jockeys comes this claim: ITHACA, N.Y. – As a consequence of a warming Earth, the risk of a megadrought – one that lasts more than 35 years – in the American Southwest likely will rise from a low chance over the past thousand years to a 20- to 50-percent chance in this century.
However, by slashing greenhouse gas emissions, these risks are nearly cut in half, according to a Cornell-led study in Science Advances, Oct. 5. “Megadroughts are rare events, occurring only once or twice each millennium. In earlier work, we showed that climate change boosts the chances of a megadrought, but in this paper we investigated how cutting fossil fuel emissions reduces this risk,” said lead author Toby Ault, Cornell professor of earth and atmospheric science. If climate change goes unabated – and causes more than a 2-degree Celsius rise in atmospheric temperature – megadroughts will become very probable, Ault said. Spiegel Calls Recent Extreme Weather Claims “A Climate Bluff”. Data Show “No Recognizable Increase”! Parts of Germany have been hit hard by unusually harsh downpours, flooding and thunderstorms over the recent days, prompting some alarmist scientists to barge into TV and radio studios to announce it’s due to human-made climate worsening.
Smackdown: AMS Paper Exposes Media, Scientists As Falsely Hyping Human Attribution In Extreme Weather Events. Source: “Climate models are unable to predict extreme events because they lack spatial and temporal resolution.
In addition, there is no clear evidence that sustained or worldwide changes in extreme events have occurred in the past few decades.” —- IPCC AR4 (2007) Section 8.3.9.3 Page 232 According to no less of an authority than the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), there is a significant lack of evidence connecting anthropogenic global warming to changes in the frequencies or intensities of extreme weather events (such as storms, hurricanes, droughts, floods, and tornadoes). Activists Continue To Peddle Unsupportable Claims Of NEVER-BEFORE Climate Alarm, Ignoring New Science. The peer-reviewed scientific literature is teeming with new evidence supporting the skeptical viewpoint that modern climate changes are neither unprecedented or unusual — nor do they fall outside the range of natural variability.
For example, (1) the Arctic’s Bering Sea surface was several degrees warmer and sea-ice-free all year round earlier in the Holocene. (2) Coral bleaching events are naturally occurring and led to mass coral deaths in much warmer seas earlier in the Holocene. And (3) 76% of the world’s beach shorelines have been stable or growing since the 1980s. Activists just ignore this newly published scientific evidence and instead continue peddling alarmism. 1.

A Big Picture Look At “Earth’s Temperature” – “Extreme Weather” Update. By WUWT regular “Just The Facts” Recently there have been increased efforts to link “Climate Change” and “Extreme Weather” e.g., NOAA links extreme weather to climate change CBS – July 10, 2012, “NASA scientist links climate change, extreme weather” CNN – August 6, 2012 and Get used to ‘extreme’ weather, it’s the new normal The Guardian – September 19, 2012.
Per the Guardian article, “Scientists have been warning us for years that a warmer planet would lead to more extreme weather, and now it’s arrived”. BBC Mislead Public With Fake Heat Record Scares. By Paul Homewood Now the BBC has jumped on the “record temperature” scam, set off in the Washington Post last week: Parts of the world are sweltering in record temperatures – and it’s not a problem confined only to summer in the northern hemisphere.
Records are being broken across the globe – so where have things been particularly bad? And why is this happening? 1) Eastern Canada What happened? Cities across the region suffered a deadly heat wave last week, with at least 70 deaths attributed to the record hot spell in Quebec province alone. MIT climate scientist on ‘hottest year’: ‘The hysteria over this issue is truly bizarre’ – Warns of return ‘back to the dark ages’ MIT climate scientist Dr.
Richard Lindzen on 'hottest year' claims: 'To imply that a rise of temperature of a tenth of a degree is proof that the world is coming to an end -- has to take one back to the dark ages.' 'As long as you can get people excited as to whether it's a tenth of a degree warmer or cooler, then you don't have to think, you can assume everyone who is listening to you is an idiot.' 'The whole point is so crazy because the temperature is always going up or down a little. Jason Samenow’s Fake Record Temperature At Montreal.

Early in life I had noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper.George Orwell The usual criminals in the press are claiming record breaking heat in the Arctic and in Texas. The Texas heatwave hasn’t even been in the ballpark of the 1980 heatwave, when the Dallas/Fort Worth area had 51 consecutive days over 100 degrees, averaged 105 degrees, and topped out at 119 degrees on June 26, 1980. The number of 100 degree days in the Dallas/Fort Worth area has been average for June and July (nine days) so far.
The frequency of 100 degree days has declined sharply since the 1950’s, when over 100 degrees was typical. Debunked: Media Claim Rare Tornado Outbreak Is The 'New Normal' Published on May 30, 2019 Written by CFACT Tornadoes — and especially F3 or stronger tornadoes — are becoming increasingly rare as the Earth continues its modest warming, but the media are claiming a rare outbreak of recent tornadoes in Kansas is “the new normal.” The misleading nature of the media’s reporting may be frustrating, but it affords climate realists an opportunity to show everyday people why they should be skeptical of alarmist global warming claims.
On May 26, after a squall line resulted in tornadoes in Kansas, the Kansas City Star posted an article titled, “‘Here we go again’: Is latest spate of tornadoes a new normal in Missouri and Kansas?” The article claims, “Notorious ‘Tornado Alley’ — the band of states in the central United States, including Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas, that each spring is ravaged by hundreds of tornadoes — is not disappearing.” That sounds quite ominous and alarming. The objective data, however, tells the opposite story. After record low Tornado year, NOAA accused of inflating number of tornadoes – ‘Graph is grossly dishonest’ Climate Depot Note: Despite NOAA Tornado data revealing 2016 as ‘one of the quietest years since records began in 1954’ and below average for 5th year in a row, the federal agency is hyping statistics which allegedly show an increasing number of tornadoes.
Climate analyst Paul Homewood explains how NOAA is now apparently trying to spin "global warming" fears by inflating the tornado statistics. 'According to NOAA, the number of tornadoes has been steadily growing since the 1950s, despite a drop in numbers in the last five years. -- But with increased National Doppler radar coverage, increasing population, and greater attention to tornado reporting, there has been an increase in the number of tornado reports over the past several decades. Data vs. Models #3: Disasters. Addendum at end on Wildfires Looking Through Alarmist Glasses In the aftermath of COP21 in Paris, the Irish Times said this: Scientists who closely monitored the talks in Paris said it was not the agreement that humanity really needed.
By itself, it will not save the planet. The great ice sheets remain imperiled, the oceans are still rising, forests and reefs are under stress, people are dying by tens of thousands in heatwaves and floods, and the agriculture system that feeds 7 billion human beings is still at risk.
