Shouldn't the FBI have shown the same zeal to investigate Hillary Clinton and Hunter Biden?

@toeknee8974 Indeed, that was during the 1970s. I remember it vividly. The media then also shouted "experts say". Since then I have become very skeptical when I hear this sentence, and not only about climate, but also about other (more recent) topics. If you know what I mean?

Do these fear mongers know what the definition of a Mediterranean climate is?

Scare-mongering is the whole purpose of this video. The sensationalist tone speaks volumes.

Fear mongering.

@krook5158 I would rather call it "mind control". The sensationalism of this video speaks volumes. Airports, with their large concrete and termac surface, are not official meteorological stations. Even if it is regarded as such, it is a deviation from the rule that a meteo measuring point should be located as much as possible in a natural environment. Far from buildings, roads and other influences. The central meteorological station in my country was in a wooded area when it was founded. It is now located in an urban area due to the expansion of the urban agglomeration. Because of what is called the urban island effect, the measurements of today can no longer be compared with the measurements of 150 years ago. Also remember that the glaciers in the Alps, as a result of the Little Ice Age, reached their maximum of the last 3500 years in 1859/60. Since then, we've been slowly scribbling back to the climate before the Little Ice Age, which started around the 15th century. Scientific studies show that during Roman times (some 2000 years ago), it was so warm that the glaciers in the Alps were non-existent. It suffices to follow the science to not be fooled by this sensationalized scaremongering. PS, I live in Western Europe and the weeks leading up to these few warm days it was rather cool summer weather.

@julietten5614 I pretty much follow the weather in New Zealand via the sites 'ventusky' and 'windy'. It strikes me that more snow has fallen in the interior of the South Island than last winter. Like for example in The Remarkables ski area. The site 'windy' offers also webcam observation images.

@laMoria A piece of science out: LITTLE ICE AGES Second edition By: Jean M. Grove: Historical evidence of Little Ice Age events is much more plentiful in Europe than elsewhere but the documentation from other continents, though scantier, is supported by a great volume of field evidence (e.g. Hope et al. 1976, Hastenrath 1984) It emerges that the Little Ice Age was a global phenomenon that began in or around the fourteenth century (Grove 2001a, b, Broecker 2001) and it is shown in Chapter 15 that it was not unique in the Holocene. Involving fluctuations in temperature of 2 °C or less, it was none the less sufficient to cause advance of the Greenland ice edge (Weidick 1968) and to be associated with measurable meteorological, geomorphological and vegetational changes. It is certainly true that lower temperatures were not sustained throughout the period. The Little Ice Age itself consisted of a series of frequent fluctuations, such as those exhibited in Manley's temperature curves for central England and worked out in great detail for Switzerland by Pfister. Such fluctuations consist of individual years and clusters of years in which weather conditions depart strongly from longer term means. Average conditions throughout the Little Ice Age were, none the less, such that mountain glaciers advanced to more forward positions than those they had occupied for several centuries, or in some areas even millennia, and fluctuated about those positions until the warming phase in the decades around 1900 brought them back to where they had been in earlier Holocene warm periods. It has been nicely demonstrated that certain Swiss glaciers such as the Ferpècle were of comparable extent in the 1980s and before about 3500 years BP (Röthlisberger et al. 1980 ). This finding provides excellent confirmation of Matthes's hunch that the recent recession represents merely 'one of the mild fluctuations that has occurred repeatedly in the last 4000 years'.

@laMoria You contradict yourself in your various reactions. You talk about millions of years, but you base yourself on measurements from the last 100 years. "Climate is weather averaged out on more than 10 years." WRONG! The average is seen over 30 years. "The fact that one winter is colder than another has nothing to do with climate. It's WEATHER". Where did I say that? By the way, not me, but your brainwashing pals from DW who are spreading this thrill-seeking scare-mongering are citing "weather phenomena" precisely to propagate the climate nonsense. Or hadn't you noticed that yet?

@laMoria I'm not trying to convince anyone. The fact that you cite the IPCC speaks volumes and says it all.

@laMoria "scientific institutions"? Well, the IPCC is not a scientific institution, but an intergovernmental institution. Perhaps scientists work there, who are paid with our tax money, to roll out an agenda and scare us. I am not at all afraid of the climate, but I am afraid of ideological madmen when they come to power. History has shown many times that this ends badly time and again. The energy malaise in which Europe finds itself and which could lead to shortages in gas and electricity next winter, is caused by the same nonsense and the same ideological policy that is completely torn from reality.

Scare-mongering is the whole purpose of this video. The sensationalist tone speaks volumes. PS, I live in Western Europe and the weeks leading up to these few warm days it was rather (too) cool summer weather. But this is not mentioned. No, of course not, that's not terrifying enough.

@Azamat421 No, not a denier. But there's nothing wrong with having an opinion. Especially if it's based on facts. I'm posting my opinion here, but don't abuse this forum to offend people. I leave that to people who believe in dogmas. In the meantime, the month of July has come to an end. At the end of the month, the Dutch meteorologist on the NOS (Dutch broadcaster) took stock of the past month of July in "De Bilt", site of the central official meteorological station in the Netherlands. The long-term average for De Bilt in July is 18.3 C. Guess what. The average temperature in De Bilt in July 2022 was... 18;3 C. Can't be more normal. The month was drier than average and sunnier, but completely in line with the long-term temperature average. The meteorologist even added that one morning in July 2022, the temperature dropped so low that it was barely above freezing, namely 0.5 C. Facts and no scaremongering.

I am confused. Environmentalists bombard us with their ideology that nature must be restored. For example, half of the farmers who provide our food in the Netherlands have to disappear because of allegedly too much nitrogen. But these locusts, which are part of nature, are called a disaster. What's the deal? Do we want nature or do we want food? Or are we humans suddenly no longer part of nature and must we disappear?

Today july 21 de temperatuur is struggling to reach 20° C. in Belgium. Pretty cool actually and below the long-term average.
