This is being taken as evidence of climate change, whereas it is a very typical European reaction to a heat wave, hysteria and mass death, that would be considered to be fairly normal Summer weather in many parts of the US. Perhaps fewer European jokes about our fondness for ice and air conditioning for the next few months.
The Dutch government is manic about nitrogen. It is confiscating farm land. Land that in some cases has belonged to families for generations. Netherlands has the largest out put of fresh agricultural products in Europe. The farmers are peacefully protesting the loss of their livelihoods by massive protests with farm equipment on highways. The government’s reaction is violence.
The money that is wasted on Climate Change is unjustified; human beings cannot control volcanic eruptions, sun spots and the earth’s tilt on it’s axis.
The national suffering of the Sri Lankan people will be visited on the serfs in the EU, CA, TX, . . .
And, the media will black out or lie about it.
They’re sweltering this Summer.
This Winter they’ll be hungry and cold.
The EU technocrats, which forced on its subjects unreliable, inefficient, expensive green energy, will blame the weather and Putin.
Meanwhile, see Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit this morning, “They’re not journalists, they’re narrative police.”
Weather is NOT climate. Climate is long term averages and actual not models.
Around the globe.. thousands of weather records are broken each and every year, it’s been that way since whenever.
– but any weather records that are heat related are now of course presented as proof of climate change.
It’s a movie.
What can be done in the face of such mass formation?
The climate has changed. There are abnormal weather patterns at the moment.
For example, we have been experiencing torrential rain patterns since December 2021, which has led to flooding of areas which have not experienced floods that bad for over a century. Our offices were flooded in February this year. I know shopping centres which have flooded.
However, extreme climatic weather conditions come around in cycles. This has occurred since the beginning of time.
What is dishonest is to put blame on overpopulation and certain sector of the energy industry. And our use of modern technology and it’s effects on the environment to the point where it is causing these extreme weather patterns. Until that is definitely proven, then the current extreme weather patterns which we are experiencing around the globe is actually normal.
Climate (long term average of weather) does indeed change. Witness the Medieval Warm Period (Greenland was not called that because Leif Ericson was color blind). And further back, when dinosaurs were kings. However, it is problematic and unproven that solar cycles are not the major cause of climate change. AGW (Anthropic Global Warming) is a fiction used by some scientists to be more proficient suckers of the public teat.
And, I should add, some politicians and industrialists.
Of course the climoscare merchants aren’t going to let a good heatwave go to waste.
When it gets to be cold here (and I’m talking 40 below winchills) I always joke “must be all that global warming.” This of course ticks some people off.
But the same people will say “you can’t deny there’s global warming now!” just because it gets over 90 in the summer.
