Where is this heatwave?

[YellowDragon]

I am honestly mad right now. I had to wait to open my pool this summer and it has been so mild that I have not even gone in it yet. The temperature of the water is taking forever to warm up because our night temps are 5+ degrees below average. We usually have temps at night being 65+ but they have gone as low as 54! Yet everywhere people are talking about these heat waves. Anyone I talk to says the summer has been mild or even cooler. 

Are they lying or something? I mean I can see places like Texas are getting hot temps but that is normal for them this time of the year. They are acting like the entire country is drying up and the temps are 90+ when that can't be further from the truth. This summer has been the coolest I have experienced in a good 15 years now.

It is called a lie and one that has been going for a good 50 years, and now the lie is becoming obvious so being greedy and stupid they ramp it up as far as they can, (Financial Review said this week that our seas are red hot, and that is a climate loony publication) and some WHO guy said that our planet is boiling.

it is getting so stupid now it is embarrassing, and sea levels haven't even gone up a cm, (which l point out to my amusement to others who still buy this).

My wake up call for this was when Obama bought beach front property. lol

It is all a scam and I do hope and pray that people, enough people are paying attention and remove these nutjobs from power before it is too late.

There is no heatwave. It is just normal weather patterns for hot zones but they are trying to pretend it is happening in places where it shouldn't. It is all a lie and a scam. I wish these climate activist morons would realize that. They are useful idiots.

This is an interesting read.

Sure we have had hot weather in June yet July is average and August wet so far.

The BBC reported that the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season was “the third most active on record. It was not; there have been 32 years with a higher count.

The BBC claimed last summer that “hurricanes are among the most violent storms on Earth and there’s evidence they’re getting more powerful”. But according to the hurricane experts at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, there has been no increase in the frequency or intensity of Atlantic hurricanes since the late 1800s.

A claim that “punishing weather conditions linked to climate change have eroded so much of the coast at Happisburgh, Norfolk”. The BBC have been unable to provide evidence for this, and the British Geological Society say that the coastline has been eroding at the same rate as now for the past 5000 years.

In October 2021, the BBC claimed that heat pumps are much cheaper to run than gas boilers. The opposite is the case, as the BBC eventually admitted.

In October 2022, the BBC reported that the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard had warmed by 4C in the last 50 years. They failed to report that temperatures there plunged by almost as much between 1950 and 1970.

The BBC reported at the time of last summer’s Pakistan floods that one third of the country had been submerged. The real figure, as evidenced by NASA satellites, was less than 10%.

Last year Sri Lanka experienced a catastrophic collapse in farming output, following a ban on imported fertiliser, which was designed purely to reduce GHG emissions. The BBC has been extremely reluctant to publicise the real reason, instead first blaming the food shortages on Putin, and then claiming that the ban was an attempt to “protect dwindling foreign currency reserves”

A classic example of how the BBC deceive appeared in a recent report on solar power, when they published a graph showing solar power now accounted for more than 10% of the world’s generating capacity. They omitted the fact that, because solar power is so intermittent, it only accounts for 3% of the world’s actual electricity.

The BBC often regurgitates propaganda from official bodies, without any attempt to challenge or fact check. Last year they uncritically reported the World Meteorological Organisations claims that “extreme weather events are the new normal”. There is no evidence that extreme weather is getting worse, something which even the IPCC has been forced to admit.

According to the BBC, a sighting of bee eaters in England last year was “a worrying sign of how our climate is changing.” British ornithological books are full of details of past sightings as far back as the 18thC.

One particularly silly study found willing support from the BBC last year, claiming that British trees are at risk from “drier weather under climate change”, even though the country has been getting wetter!

In July 2022, the BBC reported that England had its driest start to the year since 1976. In fact it had only been the driest since 2010.

It was very hot in Delhi last May. The BBC was quick to blame it on climate change, with claims of a new record high temperature in Delhi. In fact none of the long running weather stations showed a record, with date at the Indian Meteorological Dept’s base station in Delhi proving that it has been more than a degree hotter in May 1944.

It was dry in February this year, but the BBC’s claims of water shortages were simply not credible. So they included in their report a photo of a near empty reservoir, which was quickly proved to have been taken two summers previously!

The BBC was eager to report that the UK heatwave last July had killed more than 3000 people. However the Office for National Statistics analysis, on which the BBC’s claims were based, actually said no such thing. They also pointed out that excess deaths had been running at high levels throughout the spring, summer and autumn of last year.

The BBC’s green bias is on display all of the time, exemplified by its choice of interviewees and experts. In March 2022, Radio 4 broadcast a half hour programme considering whether Shell should develop the massive Cambo oil field off the Shetland Islands. All three interviewees were ardent lobbyists for renewable energy, so unsurprisingly they argued against Cambo, something for which the BBC was forced to apologise for.

And only two weeks ago, the wretched BBC claimed that the recent tragic floods in Italy were due to climate change, even though such floods have unfortunately been only too common in the past.
