Climate Change Propaganda

Clearly this was the warmest summer ever, the planet is burning its time to finally act!!!

This is what I read on the mainstream news everyday. But is this actually true? What is true is that both Europe and eastern US have seen a very hot summer so far. But looking of the data of Dr. Roy Spencer (NASA data report for July not released yet) we find that this July has been hot, but not more so than previous years.

looking at the global map quickly revels the reason

while large parts of the western world saw a summer with about +3 to +4 degree anomaly, this trend was only local. For the entire world the anomaly is only +0.3 degree, very much in line with summers in the past 15 years.

What is different this year is the coincidence that most of the western world is feeling the heat. And the panic makers know this, but they will not tell you the truth. The use the current situation to push their agenda claiming that this would be the new normal!!. But this is not science. Science is telling things as they are and as they are verifiable by data.

Now I am not claiming at all that there is no climate change. I just suffer from the bad science and especially science communication in the field of climate change. And then these people complain that many folks loose confidence in science... If I am being lied to again and again guess what? At some point I am not gonna trust you anymore.

Instead of stupid sensationalism and fear mongering I am hoping that more scientists will provide well balances honest reports. Mention that there is a El Nino when there is, point out the uncertainties, provide realistic scenarios, in short do proper science. Stop caring about policy makers. There will be no change coming from them anyways. And if you want the support of the people start with telling the truth. That will be much more successful in the long run than trying to gain support by lying. Especially when you do it so badly.
