Public Manipulation: German ARD Television Using Red Hot Weather Charts For Showing Cool Temperatures

German public television is splashing red on its weather forecast charts to make people think it ’ s hot .
At Facebook , Akinom Dnagiew posted two fascinating side-by-side weather charts used by German ARD public television for weather forecasting : Readers will notice how in 2009 a calm , neutral chart was used for showing the day ’ s high temperatures , in Celsius .
But then 10 years later , in 2019 , the ARD was using more dramatic and aggressive color scheme to represent temperatures .
Now it seems to be hot even when it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ northeast Germany , 27°C is shown without red hot colors .
Then in 2019 , even a relatively cool 22°C ( 72°F ) gets shown as red hot .
The German title of the above chart reads : “ Fühlen Sie sich manipuliert ?
” ( “ Do you feel manipulated ?
” Looking at the chart from 2009 , one sees the temperatures figures are high , yet we don ’ t get a hot visual impression .
In 2019 , on the other hand , a viewer way up in northern @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bit from all the hot looking red , even though the high is expected to be only 20°C ( 68°F ) .
What follows is a forecast chart from 2014 on ZDF public television : Here in the above video you ’ ll see that 25°C is designated by a light orange , and not dark red .
What follows next is a screen shot from an ARD weather forecast made in 2008 : Above we see a low key chart in plain green .

CORRECTION: The ARD has not changed its color scheme. The chart for 2009 shows the 3-day forecast, which according to ARD in fact has not changed. The 2019 is the forecast chart for the day, and this 1-day chart uses a different color code for temperature. It too has not changed since 2009. The third chart, as already mentioned, is from another source: website: wetter.de. Hat-tip: reader Taylor Martin

Readers will notice how in 2009 a calm, neutral chart was used for showing the day’s high temperatures, in Celsius. But then 10 years later, in 2019, the ARD was using more dramatic and aggressive color scheme to represent temperatures. Now it seems to be hot even when it’s relatively cool!
In 2009, in northeast Germany, 27°C is shown without red hot colors. Then in 2019, even a relatively cool 22°C (72°F) gets shown as red hot.
The German title of the above chart reads: “Fühlen Sie sich manipuliert?” (“Do you feel manipulated?”
Looking at the chart from 2009, one sees the temperatures figures are high, yet we don’t get a hot visual impression. In 2019, on the other hand, a viewer way up in northern Germany might even start sweating a little bit from all the hot looking red, even though the high is expected to be only 20°C (68°F).
Other examples

Taming the red?
Okay, but let’s be fair. This year it seems the ARD has tamed its red colors somewhat. What follows is an image from today’s weather forecast:

Former Public Health Official Calls Global Handling Of COVID-19 “A Crime Against Humanity”…Warns Of Shoddily Made Vaccines”.

In a controversial interview , German doctor Wolfgang Wodarg – now Germany ’ s science public enemy No .

Using panic to extort the public… lobbyists for the pharmaceutical industry… the scandal of hydroxychloroquine and the WHO…the dangers of a half-baked vaccine…panicking people into accepting vaccinations , surveillance and restrictions .

“ Now they want to vaccinate billions of people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do that with such a vaccine .
I can only say don ’ t let your children be vaccinated ; don ’ t let yourself be vaccinated with such a negligently manufactured , rushed vaccine .

In a controversial interview, German doctor Wolfgang Wodarg – now Germany’s science public enemy No. 1 – called the response to the COVID-19 virus by governments and health authorities “a crime against humanity” and that they be put on the dock for “negligent homicide”.
Using panic to extort the public… lobbyists for the pharmaceutical industry… the scandal of hydroxychloroquine and the WHO…the dangers of a half-baked vaccine…panicking people into accepting vaccinations, surveillance and restrictions.
The video, released on May 31st dubbed “A Crime Against Humanity“, has been viewed already 150,000 times and delivers a dramatic message that the German media-political monopoly do not want to hear: Hysteria, corruption, and gross negligence surround the COVID-19 crisis.
Robbed freedom by causing a panic
The 73-year old Wodarg first says that the COVID-19 bug was no worse than any other bad flu and that officials created panic among the citizens by using the results of a faulty test, thus robbing them of their freedom.
He accuses Germany’s Minister of Health Jens Spahn of being a lobbyist who collects data for the pharmaceutical industry and being corrupt. Wodarg also warns the public of tracking apps: “They want to extort you. They want to extort you to go along, to be afraid so that you accept being vaccinated. We are being told that this vaccine could save us. This a vaccine that has been rapidly and shoddily thrown together,” he says.
Dangerous vaccination proposals
Dr. Wodarg explains how it takes at least 5 years to produce a trustworthy vaccine and warns of the untold risks of something rushed onto the market.
“Now they want to vaccinate billions of people; it’s fully irresponsible to do that with such a vaccine. I can only say don’t let your children be vaccinated; don’t let yourself be vaccinated with such a negligently manufactured, rushed vaccine. It’s only to make money, and the money making works only because we are being extorted by the media and policy making through fear. It’s like mafia protection money.”
Hydroxychloroquine scandal
Dr. Wodarg also explains another grisly aspect of the COVID-19 pandemic, which he calls “a crime against humanity”: a well known drug for treating malaria, Wodarg said: “Suddenly all over the world, hydroxychloroquine was recommended. It was even given away for free by Bayer.” But with the drug comes lethal affects for people who come from tropical areas and thus have “an enzyme defect”, Wodarg explains. Many people from Africa have this enzyme characteristic, people from Brazil, Central America, but also people from the Mediterranean countries, says Wodarg.
When these people are administered the recommended dosage, then after two days they are unable to get air. And if you continue to give it to them, then they die. Every medical student knows this! And a doctor who uses this drug without checking for the enzyme is acting with gross negligence.”
Malpractice “borders on genocide”
He adds it doesn’t surprise him that people are dying. Wodarg cites a recent study where data from 96,000 patients infected by COVID-19 from 671 hospitals were examined. Of the large number who were treated with hydroxychloroquine, 30% to 40% more died. And when one looks at the black and Hispanic people, then over 50% more died. “That means they are the ones who were killed by the stuff, and what happened there borders on genocide. I think what happened here is gross negligence.”
“Case for prosecutors”
Wodarg points the finger at the WHO, suspecting that a certain number of people were to die in order to create fear: “…so that fear is generated in Africa, in Brazil, so that we take the illness seriously and say: oh, it’s really bad, and we urgently need the vaccine. That’s insidious; it’s diabolical what’s taking place here. This is not a case for immunologist, but for prosecutors!”
The former German health official says every medical student learns about hydroxychloroquine in the fourth semester.
On whether there is a way out of the mess, Wodarg comments:
We have to file a lawsuit, that it’s negligent homicide, at least this is happening internationally. I don’t know if there is a prosecutor in Geneva who would go to the WHO and say: ‘Stop, halt! The files please. I want to see them. Did you know it? Did you deal with that? Why not? You’re supposed to know this. You’re doctors after all.’ And this should apply to the health services.”
Black lives don’t matter: “going to kill 20 – 30%” in Africa
Wodarg calls what’s happening with the use of hydroxychloroquine in tropical countries a “catastrophe”.
“They know they are going to kill 20 to 30% of the people with it.”

Current ECMWF 45-Day Forecast Contradicts Recent Claims Of Another “Record-Breaking Summer” For Europe!

In terms of precipitation , Europe saw drought conditions over the past two summers ( 2018 and 2019 ) and climate alarmists claimed this would be the new normal .
And recently the European public got bombarded by media reports stemming from the World Meteorological Organization ( WMO ) of a blistering super hot and dry summer this year .
But look what the ECMWF now projects for the next 45 days ( upper chart ) .
Kachelmann comments : “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the ECMWF , which runs to mid-July , the drought summer seems to be completely called off for the time being.
” And in terms of temperature , see the lower chart , nothing unusual is projected to happen over the next 45 days .

On June 3, 2020, npj Climate and Atmospheric Science published a study by Athanasiadis et al. 2020, in which the authors investigated the question of whether changes in the frequency of blocked weather situations in the North Atlantic and Central European region are predictable.
“Quite some nonsense”
Previously, scientists inclined towards climate alarmism had told us that CO2 would lead to more and more blocked weather situations. Quite some nonsense as it now turns out, because the blockings are more likely to be due to the 60-year AMO ocean cycle, which in turn affects the NAO. These are exciting results.
Here’s the abstract:
Decadal predictability of North Atlantic blocking and the NAO Can multi-annual variations in the frequency of North Atlantic atmospheric blocking and mid-latitude circulation regimes be skilfully predicted? Recent advances in seasonal forecasting have shown that mid-latitude climate variability does exhibit significant predictability. However, atmospheric predictability has generally been found to be quite limited on multi-annual timescales. New decadal prediction experiments from NCAR are found to exhibit remarkable skill in reproducing the observed multi-annual variations of wintertime blocking frequency over the North Atlantic and of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) itself. This is partly due to the large ensemble size that allows the predictable component of the atmospheric variability to emerge from the background chaotic component. The predictable atmospheric anomalies represent a forced response to oceanic low-frequency variability that strongly resembles the Atlantic Multi-decadal Variability (AMV), correctly reproduced in the decadal hindcasts thanks to realistic ocean initialization and ocean dynamics. The occurrence of blocking in certain areas of the Euro-Atlantic domain determines the concurrent circulation regime and the phase of known teleconnections, such as the NAO, consequently affecting the stormtrack and the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. Therefore, skilfully predicting the decadal fluctuations of blocking frequency and the NAO may be used in statistical predictions of near-term climate anomalies, and it provides a strong indication that impactful climate anomalies may also be predictable with improved dynamical models.”

DWD Reverses: Admits Data From Germany’s Infamous Ultra-Hot Lingen Weather Station Need To Be Rechecked

Recently I wrote here how Germany ’ s now infamous record-setting weather station in Lingen was producing readings that were 2-3°C hotter than surrounding stations , yet the German DWD weather service refused to acknowledge the station was likely producing bad data .
Today they admit the station has problems and that they will be moving it to a better location .
Last year ’ s all-time record high is now in question .
Last summer the Lingen station , located in northwest Germany near the Dutch border , smashed the country ’ s all-time record high when the ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ during a late July heat wave .

Lingen ’ s readings of late July 2019 compared to other stations in the surrounding region ( July 23 – July 27 ) .
Today , t-online.de reports that Germany DWD national weather service has now reversed and realized that something may be very wrong with the Lingen station after all , and so will relocate it and examine its recorded data .
“ The weather station in Lingen : The DWD will not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ there are doubts about the data , ” T-online reports .

“ Again and again and more and more frequently astonishing temperature values ” had been coming from Lingen .
The DWD @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to “ certain weather conditions , especially on hot summer days when there is little wind .
The station in Lingen is located in a depression and is now surrounded by trees , which means the air gets stuck in place and so heats up .

The DWD spokesman said a second sensor would be used to measure the temperature at another location in parallel .
Though after two days it is still too early to make scientific statements , but already there have been noticeable deviations in the temperature measurements .
Now the tests are to be carried out with meticulousness .
T-online.de confirms that construction work for a new location has begun and that by next spring there could be temperature data coming from Lingen again .

Lingen’s heated readings
Last summer the Lingen station, located in northwest Germany near the Dutch border, smashed the country’s all-time record high when the ‘mercury’ rose to a scorching 42.6°C during a late July heat wave. The previous all-time high for Germany was a comparatively cool 40.3°C.

Moreover, the temperature measurements previously recorded at the station will be checked, and there are now doubts whether last year’s all time record will be allowed to stand.
“Astonishing temperature values”
“We don’t know yet whether the value will stand,” admitted a DWD spokesperson on Friday. “Again and again and more and more frequently astonishing temperature values” had been coming from Lingen.
The DWD experts believe the distorted values are linked to “certain weather conditions, especially on hot summer days when there is little wind. The station in Lingen is located in a depression and is now surrounded by trees, which means the air gets stuck in place and so heats up.

The DWD now acknowledges the station has siting issues and its data are suspicious after a number meteorologists criticized the station’s poor siting.
“The quality of our measurements has the highest priority,” said Jürgen Schreiber, DWD’s Chief Technical Officer. “We have decided to no longer publish the observational data from the Lingen station, but to use them internally for scientific tests only”.
The DWD spokesman said a second sensor would be used to measure the temperature at another location in parallel. Though after two days it is still too early to make scientific statements, but already there have been noticeable deviations in the temperature measurements. Now the tests are to be carried out with meticulousness.
T-online.de confirms that construction work for a new location has begun and that by next spring there could be temperature data coming from Lingen again.

Shown will be comparisons of NASA GISS Version 4 unadjusted, versus Version 4 adjusted. In each case the unadjusted data showed a cooling or little warming, while the adjusted data all ended up to show warming.
First we plot the station at Plainville, Kansas, which I already posted at Twitter. Shown is the plot going back over 100 years, before NASA adjustments and after adjustments.
Data source: NASA GISS.
As the 2 plots show, the data from the past were changed by NASA and made cooler. The new result: a warming trend! In other words, a cooling climate was fudged into one that is supposedly warming.
Next we move to the station of Hobart, Oklahoma. A slight cooling trend there was transformed by NASA into a warming trend:
Data source: NASA GISS.
The third station we look at is Carrizo Springs, Texas:
Data source: NASA GISS.
Originally in the V4 unadjusted, the past at Carrizo Springs was warmer than today. But NASA didn’t like that, and so they adjusted the temperatures from earlier in the 20th century downward. Again a modest cooling trend was changed into warming.
The story is the same at the station at Conception Missouri:
Data source: NASA GISS.
At Conception, Missouri, we originally saw no warming over the past 130. years. But then NASA fiddled with the data and now tell us there’s been warming at there as well.
Looking at the temperature charts for the station at El Dorado, Arkansas:
Data source: NASA GISS.
Note how warm it was in the 1920s. But NASA said that this couldn’t be right, and so cooled the mean annual temperatures in the early 20th century byalmost a whopping 2 degrees! Result: (fake) warming!
Finally we plot the NASA GISS data from the station located at Thibodaux, Louisiana – i.e. the U.S. South:

Media outlets picked up the WMO warnings and spread panic stories of mayhem and climate breakdown among the public.
But veteran Swiss meteorologist Jörg Kachelmann, citing models from the ECMWF, doesn’t see any evidence of another “record breaking summer”. He tweeted:
Dear @WMO I've wondered since you wrote thishttps://t.co/2JEahOzwIi What forecast data led you to the conclusion that we could expect the hottest summer for the Northern hemisphere ever in this year.

So far Kachelmann has yet to receive an explanation from the WMO.
Like the ECMWF model for the next 45 days shows, the northern hemisphere has extensive cool patches, and so no signs of a “record breaking northern hemisphere summer this year.
Whether it’s the World Health organization (WHO or the WMO, global institutions set up to guide policy are doing a lousy job and are in need of extensive reform, as some leaders have already called for.

Dr. Richard Lindzen retired several years ago, and yet his immense contribution to the atmospheric sciences lives on. His research is still cited about 600 times per year.
Lindzen recently published another scientific paper (Lindzen, 2020) in The European Physical Journal criticizing the current alarmism in climate science. Here are a few of the highlights.
1. Doubling the atmospheric CO2 concentration from 280 ppm to 560 ppm results in just a 1-2% perturbation to the Earth’s 240 W/m² energy budget. This doubled-CO2 effect has less than 1/5th of the impact that the net cloud effect has. And yet we are asked to accept the “implausible” claim that change in one variable, CO2, is predominatly responsible for altering global temperatures.
2. A causal role for CO2 “cannot be claimed” for the glacial-to-interglacial warming events because CO2 variations follow rather than lead the temperature changes in paleoclimate records and the 100 ppm total increase over thousands of years produce “about 1 W/m²” of total radiative impact.
3. Climate science didn’t used to be alarmist prior to the late 1980s. Scientists were instead sufficiently skeptical about claims of climatically-induced planetary doom. That changed during the years 1988-1994, when climate research centered on CO2 and global warming received a 15-fold increase in funding in the US alone. Suddenly there was a great financial incentive to propel alarming global warming scenarios.
4. Concepts like “polar amplification” are “imaginary”.
“The change in equator-to-pole temperature difference was attributed to some imaginary ‘polar amplification,’ whereby the equator-pole temperature automatically followed the mean temperature. Although the analogy is hardly exact, this is not so different from assuming that flow in a pipe depends on the mean pressure rather than the pressure gradient.”

On May 2, 2020, we reported on the movie Burned. In the USA, the focus is on biomass.
However, they do not ferment fast-growing plants into gas as is the case in Europe, rather they cut down trees and burn them in power plants – often together with other things like car tires or soaked railway ties.
The issue is controversial because it is about pure ideology. Climate organisations such as 350.org, which in the USA is like Fridays For Future (FFF) in Europe, have given their blessing to this type of power generation.
The film Planet of the Humans by Michael Moore also denounces this.
Converting CO2 sinks instantly into atmospheric CO2
And so the USA is losing valuable carbon sinks and biotopes, destroying its environment and lying to itself about sustainability and the climate. A tree that takes 50 – 100 years to become big and stately, but then is burned up in a few minutes, can never have a favorable climate balance, no matter how you calculate it. Trees are the new coal, it seems.
But anyone who thinks that this is only done in the USA, where huge forests and thus carbon sinks are destroyed, is mistaken.
“Madness”: German coal plant to be converted to burn trees
The online daily Weserkurier reports on a coal-fired power station in Wilhelmshaven (North Germany) that is to be converted to burn wood. This made Germany’s most famous forester, Peter Wohlleben (book “The Secret Life of Trees“) flash with anger on Twitter.

Wohlleben’s tweet in English:
The madness continues: although hundreds of scientists are warning against burning wood as a climate killer, politics and industry in Germany are backing forest destruction and want to convert coal-fired power plants.”
What Wohlleben means by madness could be the statements of Social Democrat Party member of parliament Siemtje Möller. Her slogan on her own website: “Think about the climate too!”
“Green coal”
Siemtje Möller is already thinking ahead. After all, the Wilhelmshaven site could eventually also produce hydrogen with the green coal. The stimulus for the technology, worth billions of euros, which has just been ratified, should also come to Wilhelmshaven.
“I’d like a fair share here,” says the Siemtje Möller about the budget. In general, she sees the hydrogen initiative, the coal phase-out law and the structural transformation law as “a huge opportunity for the Northwest to enter the future”.
She calls trees “green coal” in all seriousness and then wants to use the energy from burnt trees to produce hydrogen. Does the federal hydrogen initiative mean something like that? Probably not. Destroying carbon sinks cannot possibly be a huge opportunity for the future.

Coastal history analyses increasingly suggest sea levels are lower today than at any time in the last 7000 years – even lower than the 1600s to 1800s .
Recently we compared cartology from the 17th to 19th centuries to direct aerial images of coastal positions today .
Rather surprisingly , there seemed to be more land area below sea level a few hundred years ago .
For example , an 1802 nautical map of New York City and Long Island shows there may have been more open waters in this region during the Little Ice Age than in 2019 .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ coasts were further inland during the 1600s than they are today ( Mörner , 2017 ) .

In another new study, the borehole sea level history for the Italian port city of Salerno reveals the coast was hundreds of meters further inland compared to today’s 7000 years ago. Even 300 years ago the coast was still much further inland (Amato et al., 2020).
Citing previous studies, another new paper has today’s sea levels about 2 to 3 meters lower than they were 4000 to 5000 years ago along the coasts of Brazil (Martins et al., 2020). And, again, today’s relative sea levels seem to be the lowest of the record – lower than the Little Ice Age.

Naturally one season says nothing about the overall trend. Luckily we have annual data on tornado activity going back decades. Again some would have us believe that the trend is upward, meaning more tornadoes each and every year.
But the data tells us a different story:
In summary, when it comes to tornadoes in the US, if anything, the warming has had a diminishing effect on activity, and that’s good news.
Like Joe Bastardi says, “Remember that when the climate change hype with hurricanes starts.”
Speaking of this year’s hurricane season, many serious experts are warning that a stronger than normal season likely awaits us…due to natural oceanic cyclic patterns. The alarmists on the other hand of course will blame it on CO2.
Sahara dust to hamper Atlantic tropical storm formation
But one meteorologist says that currently there’s one factor acting to suppress tropical storm formation: Sahara dust.
Paul Dorian of Perspecta Weather reports:
Sahara Desert dust is pushing across the Atlantic and it should reach all the way into the southern US…an inhibiting factor for tropical activity…possible brilliant sunsets.*
That would be great news for people living along the US coast, but more bad news for the alarmists.

“Actually exacerbate global warming”
A new study by Ulrich Schmidt, researcher at the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, concluded that electric cars do not contribute to climate protection, and in fact “actually exacerbate global warming if the current electricity mix is taken as a basis.”
The study found the point when electric mobility can contribute to climate protection is still”far off”.
“Based on false assumptions”
Climate activists like insisting that the future of mobility belongs to electric cars, but the Kiel Institute for the World Economy researcher says that this is not so given Germany’s current power supply mix, which still relies heavily on coal. Claims that electric cars are clean are based on false assumptions, says Schmidt.
Business Insider writes:
As Schmidt points out in his study, a complete switch to e-mobility would increase electricity demand by almost 20 percent in the German automotive sector alone. This, in turn, would require more electricity generation from fossil fuels. Provided that availability is the same in both cases. This would considerably worsen the climate balance of e-cars.”
Schmidt adds: “Regardless of what you fill up your electric car with; from a macroeconomic perspective, it runs de facto on 100 percent electricity from fossil fuels, nowadays even 100 percent from coal. This means that electric cars do not contribute to climate protection, but actually make global warming worse.”
“40% fossil fuels in 2020”
This, Schmidt says, will remain true as long as the share of fossil fuels in the electricity mix remains above 20 percent. Business Insider points out that even the “EU Commission estimates that the share of fossil fuels will still be around 40 percent in 2050.”

Senckenberg scientists in Germany have just studied the climate optimum of the Middle Miocene in Central Europe 17 to 14 million years ago. At the end of this long warm period, there was a global cooling that was much faster and more dramatic on land than in the ocean.
This is what the team currently reports in the journal “Scientific Reports” of the Nature Group.
At the same time, a precipitation pattern was established in Central Europe that corresponds to the one of today. According to this, the westerly wind system influenced by the North Atlantic has been one of the main drivers of the Central European climate ever since, and thus three million years earlier than previously assumed.
Crocodiles and chameleons camp under palm trees in the foothills of the Alps – what seems fantastic today was reality 16 million years ago. At that time, Central Europe had a subtropical, warm and humid climate with an average annual temperature of up to twenty degrees Celsius and frequent precipitation. The warm period of that time, the climate optimum of the middle Miocene, is from today’s point of view quite an analogy for our future climate development. However, as is already known from the analysis of marine sediments, the “eternal summer” of the Middle Miocene was over about two million years later (14 million years ago).
Senckenberg scientists now provide the first evidence that the end of the climate optimum was much more dramatic on land than in the ocean. “Between 14.48 million and 14.13 million years ago today – in a period of just 350,000 years – the temperature sank rapidly. From a geological point of view, that’s extremely short for such a temperature drop. We know from marine sediments that the sea, more slowly and gradually, cooled down by only one to six degrees,” explains Dr. Katharina Methner from the Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre.
The warm anomaly in the Middle Miocene and its rapid end in Central Europe left its imprint in carbonates that were then formed in soils. Such “fossil soils” are found, for example, at the edge of the North Alpine foreland basin in Switzerland, where they were sampled by Methner and her colleagues*.
The geoscientists reconstructed how warm the soils became during carbonate formation in the soil using geochemical methods based on the distribution of carbon and oxygen isotopes in the carbonate. “With the help of isotope geochemistry, it can be deduced from such carbonates that the temperature curve in the Alpine foreland was extremely dynamic during the climate optimum in the Middle Miocene,” says Prof. Dr. Andreas Mulch, Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre and Goethe University.
Surprisingly, the results also show that the precipitation seasonality must have changed significantly before 14.5 million. During the cooling down period, it generally became drier in Central Europe. In addition, the distribution of precipitation over the year is now different. Most of the rain in Central Europe probably fell – as it still does today – in summer.
Strong North Atlantic influence
“This indicates a strong influence of the North Atlantic on the Central European climate. So the westerly wind system of today started at least 14.5 million years ago. That is three million years earlier than previously assumed,” explains Methner, adding: “Overall, the findings confirm how sensitively the climate system as a whole reacts: Temperature cannot be thought of without precipitation, terrestrial temperature cannot be thought of without marine climate, Central Europe cannot be thought of without the North Atlantic and thus without global climate!”
The climate optimum in the Middle Miocene, with high carbon dioxide levels, a high sea level and the reduced occurrence of sea ice, shows clear parallels to the climate change we are facing today. Nevertheless, little is known about this warm period and its end, in contrast to other warm periods in the history of the earth.
Climate changes “have occurred repeatedly throughout the history of the earth”
Methner says: “Climate changes in the form of fluctuations in temperature and precipitation have occurred repeatedly throughout the history of the earth. Only if we understand the dynamics and drivers of these fluctuations better can we estimate what the future holds. And we will contribute to this with our findings.”

Greenland’s Kilometers-Thick Ice Sheet Routinely Disappears (‘Ice-Free’) When CO2 Levels Hover Below 280 ppm

There is no apparent connection between Greenland ’ s ice melt and atmospheric CO2 concentrations .

Today we look at the NASA data from 6 stations from the US southeast region. In every case the trends were warmed up by what NASA calls “adjusting”.
Four of the 6 stations showed a clear cooling trend, which were then altered by NASA to show warming. Another station saw its flat trend turned into warming, and a another station had only modest warming but was altered to show stronger warming. This is how NASA tells us the US has been warming over the past century, when in fact it really hasn’t warmed much.
NASA’s own data tell the story.
First we look at Greensboro, Alabama. Here we see how warm it was in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, but look what happened once NASA GISS scientists got their hands on the data:
Data source: NASA GISS
in Newnan Georgia, NASA simply dropped all the inconvenient warm readings of the early 20th century, see below. A cooling trend disappeared Orwellian style:
Data source: NASA GISS
In Hattiesburg, Mississippi, cooling was also altered to produce warming. It has nothing to do with CO2, but instead has everything to do with fudging historical data:
Data source: NASA GISS
If these types of people are capable of unabashedly rewriting history, imagine what they wouldn’t think twice about at the ballot boxes this coming November. Look at what they did to the data from the Little Mountain station in South Carolina:
Presto! First you see the cooling, now you don’t. It’s all been doctored. Data source: NASA GISS
Well, at least there wasn’t any cooling recorded at the station of Cullowhee, North Carolina, as the next chart shows. But NASA insists that it has to be some warming, and so cooled the early data so that we get a warming trend.
Data source: NASA GISS
Finally we look at what NASA did to the temperature data from Lake City, Florida, below. A clear cooling trend was altered to show warming. NASA GISS scientists obviously have no scruples about turning historical records into modern lies. Anyone else would be put on the dock for such deceit – at least intensely investigated.
Data source: NASA GISS
But NASA GISS scientists get away with it because they’re “experts”, we are told, and so who are we to question them – no matter how fishy it all appears? There’s no one to really police them. Unless this stops, very dark tyrannical times lie ahead for us. The alterations are systemic.
UPDATE; And here’s the plots for a station in Tennessee (no surprise here either):
GHCN V4 Unadjusted data show Waynesboro, State of Tennessee, has had a cooling trend since 1885!
But NASA changed the data.
I wonder why this kind of scientific deceit is accepted silently by many media?https://t.co/tSJN3Sdq9S

notrickszone--2020-06-24--The Weather Channel’s Bogus Forecast Of 40°C Heat…Also “Record Hot Summer” Forecast Looking Fake

Nowadays as soon as there ’ s any hint of some heat in the forecast , the European press immediately jump to holler a “ record hot ” summer is in the pipeline .
Brace yourselves !
For example , just last week The Weather Channel Germany warned of 40°C temperatures for Germany , probably after some model results sniffed out the possibility of very hot weather 7-10 days out – and likely based on model inputs that everyone knew were going to change , anyway .
Certainly they had to know that .
But today the temptation to put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on very little , is greater than it ’ s ever been .
“ Tropical nights , extreme heat over the day , ” The Weather Channel Deutschland blared a week ago , even though most models showed nothing of the sort .
And now that the extreme heat is supposed to have arrived , here ’ s today ’ s forecast for Hanover for the next 10 days : Surprise !
Not a single model even shows Hanover exceeding 30°C this week , when the 40°C heat wave was supposed to have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week ’ s forecast got some headlines , and that ’ s all that matters in these times of rampant fake news .
Forecast of record summer looks to fail big as well As far as forecasts of another record summer this year for Europe go , that too appears to be a complete washout .
Yesterday Swiss meteorologist Jörg Kachelmann tweeted the ECMWF 45-day forecast for Europe ( until the start of August ) : Though there ’ s heat up in northern Europe currently , the ECMWF shows a cooling-off by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ summer period that ’ s just run-of-the-mill .
So , the headline-seeking forecasts of a “ another record hot summer ” heard earlier in the media are turning out to be BOGUS .
Also Austrian weather site wetter.at here reports : “ Certainly not a hot summer this year ” and “ A lot of rain is still to be expected ” .
Wetter.at adds : “ According to the experts of the Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics ( ZAMG ) , this mix of sun and rain should continue throughout the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ should not be a hot summer this year.

30°C, not 40°C
Surprise! Not a single model even shows Hanover exceeding 30°C this week, when the 40°C heat wave was supposed to have “rolled in”. But last week’s forecast got some headlines, and that’s all that matters in these times of rampant fake news.
Forecast of record summer looks to fail big as well
As far as forecasts of another record summer this year for Europe go, that too appears to be a complete washout. Yesterday Swiss meteorologist Jörg Kachelmann tweeted the ECMWF 45-day forecast for Europe (until the start of August):

Though there’s heat up in northern Europe currently, the ECMWF shows a cooling-off by day 10, and a coming 45-day summer period that’s just run-of-the-mill. So, the headline-seeking forecasts of a “another record hot summer” heard earlier in the media are turning out to be BOGUS.
