That's not really that bad. Maybe for Germany's weather?

Daily Mail: Flights are cancelled in Germany and Switzerland while avalanche warning hits Austria after snow sparks travel chaos on continent.

Oh noez! Europe is having a Wind Drought. So much for turbine power.

Green Matters: European Wind Turbines at a Standstill Amid an Ongoing "Wind Drought".

But as of recently, barely even a breeze has made its way through the through the winter air.
[.]
"Britain is in the middle of a wind drought — and the timing couldn't have been worse. For several days now, the U.K. and western Europe have been calm, with barely a breeze," Thomas Moore writes for Sky News.

"It is not until Wednesday, or even Thursday, that speeds pick up in Scotland and the North Sea, where most of our wind farms are. That shows in the mix of energy being used in the freezing conditions."

"The risks could increase with global warming," [🤣 - DD] he continues. "Scientists working for the United Nations' intergovernmental panel on climate change have looked at what could happen to wind speeds in future. Even if the world reaches net zero soon after 2050, limiting the rise in temperature, winds will weaken significantly in the northern hemisphere." ["Even if." FFS. Retardicus Maximus. - DD]
[.]
According to Yale Environment 360, the phrase "wind drought" is exactly what it sounds like — it refers to an extended period of time that an area lacks wind, or experiences slower-than-usual wind speeds. In 2021, wind speeds were 15 percent slower than in previous years, making for one of the least windy periods in the U.K. in nearly 60 years.

What are "usual wind speeds"?

Git yer fans out folks, them turbhans ain't gonna spin themselves!

UK heatwave triggers national emergency.

The National News (July 16, 2022): Second Cobra meeting called as UK heatwave triggers national emergency.

Londoners urged not travel on Monday and Tuesday with 80 per cent chance record temperature could be set and warning lives are at risk.

BBC (January 28, 2021): Renewable energy overtakes fossil fuels for first time as UK's biggest source of electricity in 2020.

For the first time, renewable energy overtook fossil fuels to be the biggest source of electricity in the UK in 2020.

Wind, solar, bio-energy and hydro (water) power generated a record 42% of UK power last year, while fossil fuels - mostly gas - produced 41%, according to a report by energy experts Ember and Agora Energiewende.

In 2019, renewables generated 37% of the UK's electricity, compared with 45% for fossil fuels.

How's that green, renewable energy working? The AC running good? Better get those child laborers in third-world countries to hurry up and increase their lithium and cobalt production. The Stiff-Upper-Lippers are having a heatwave.

-

Update/Addition: Ooof ..hit the BBC link and scroll all the way to the bottom (which I didn't do the first time) and READ THE COMMENTS. They kind of all read like this:

"This is awesome, great news."

"The world will live longer." 🤣🤣🤣

"This is awesome."

"This is great news that renewable energy overtakes fossil fuels."

 I hope these same commenters enjoy their heatwave.

Scientists Lament Unable To Contribute To Climate Change

Thousands of scientists unable to attend the "Super Bowl of Astronomy" due to government shut down. Phys.org:

The world's largest airborne observatory was supposed to be parked in Seattle this week, so thousands of scientists attending the "Super Bowl of Astronomy" could behold this marvel: a Boeing 747 outfitted with a massive telescope used to study the fundamental mysteries of the universe.

But conference-goers will not be able to see NASA's space-exploring plane. Its visit to the 233rd Meeting of the American Astronomical Society was canceled, one of a growing list of scientific casualties of the partial government shutdown now stretching into its third week.
[.]
...the shutdown's impact on science stretches well beyond the empty chairs at this week's conferences, said Keith Seitter, executive director of the American Meteorological Society. It means some of the nation's smartest scientific minds are sitting at home, not doing science, for weeks, with no clear end in sight.

"That's difficult to recover from," said Seitter. "We'll be seeing ripple effects from this for a long time."

Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

"...sitting at home, not doing science..." and yadda, yadda, yadda. Tragic.

"...rippling effects from this for a long time." Oh! Teh Fucking Draa-mah!

They "can't see the NASA plane." Yes, the world awaits the invention of Virtual Reality or some kind of device that allows you to view places, people and things without having to be physically present.

It's a shame they have no viable methods to communicate with each other during the government shut down. Alone, sitting in silence, with Chester Cheetah Cheetos. All those equations and algorithms popping in their heads and no one to bounce it off of. Somebody should really do something about this. Clearly, the government shut down must end.

In a related issue, president of the World Bank resigns early. 9 News:

World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim has unexpectedly resigned, more than three years before his term ends in 2022, amid differences with the Trump administration over climate change and the need for more development resources.

Kim, nominated by former US President Barack Obama for two five-year terms, had pushed financing for green energy projects and largely dropped support for coal power investments, but had avoided public clashes with the Trump administration, which has made reviving the US coal sector a priority.

Super cereal Al Gore masquerading as Greta, a 15-year old girl.

Okay, the Rectal Thermometer of the Word, Albert Gore, Junior, (I hear he invented the internet and he once was the vice president of the United States, but I can't confirm either one), isn't really masquerading as a 15-year old girl named Greta. But this story is so enjoyable. A 15-year old girl sounds just like every adult Liberal Global Warming Alarmist. Or, is that every adult Liberal Global Warming Alarmist sounds just like a 15-year old girl?

From Common Dreams: (Yeah, I know...I'll give you time to stop laughing, "CD", heh no bias there.....)

Headline: "We Have Not Come Here to Beg World Leaders to Care,' 15-Year-Old Greta Thunberg Tells COP24. 'We Have Come to Let Them Know Change Is Coming".

"Since our leaders are behaving like children, we will have to take the responsibility they should have taken long ago," said Thunberg, who has garnered international notoriety for weekly climate strikes outside her school in Sweden, during a speech on Monday.
[.]
Thunberg explained that while the world consumes an estimated 100 million barrels of oil each day, "there are no politics to change that. There are no politics to keep that oil in the ground. So we can longer save the world by playing by the rules, because the rules have to be changed."

Sounds just like a fifteen year old adult Liberal Global Warming Alarmist.

Speaking of The Rectal Thermometer of The World, here's a quote from Greta Albert Gore, Junior. WBUR:

[WBUR]:  On what he [Albert Gore, Junior] thought when he saw there was another recount in Florida this year, nearly two decades after the recount there during the 2000 presidential election

[Gore]: "How do you spell PTSD, boys and girls? I got lots of emails and phone calls from close friends in Florida who certainly told me that it was not a happy experience to go through. And more seriously, it is truly astonishing that after 18 years, they have not been able to come up with a system that is more reliable and more honest. It also should be shocking to all of us as Americans that voter suppression is still being pursued relentlessly by Republican operatives and officeholders like the former secretary of state of Georgia, and in Mississippi and in many places — that's just un-American and it's time for that to stop."

Sound just like...a fifteen year old child Albert Gore, Junior.

Will you be tuning in The Albert Gore, Junior, 24-hour Global Warming Alarmathon? Probably a comedy goldmine.

Manbearpig  ... we didn't listen...we didn't listen!

Al Gore, Jr.'s Global Climate Crisis Tour Continues

Al Gore, melting.

He's at it again. Al Gore, Jr. says we still have time to save us from the time he said we needed to save ourselves from almost twenty years ago that never happened. NY Post, Page 6:

“Ten years ago we did ‘An Inconvenient Truth.’ Its predictions are coming true. Seas overflowing, storm changes, air changes, temperature rising, surges like superstorm Hurricane Sandy."

Nothing in his film is coming true. Not even close.

Superstorm Sandy was in 2012. FIVE years ago.

Here is the NOAA history of U.S. Hurricanes. The list is not all-inclusive.

The below table is from the Wiki page on U.S. Hurricanes.

Twenty-five in the 1880's. SIX in the "2010s". Is six more than twenty-five, Albert?

In the year 2015, a new record was set; that being NINE years of no major hurricanes hitting U.S. landfall. Weather.com:

This is now the longest streak since hurricane records began in 1851. The previous record was a little over nine years, set from August 11, 1860 to September 8, 1869.

From The Telegraph: Rise of Sea Levels Greatest Lie ever Told:

...the Swedish geologist and physicist Nils-Axel Mörner, formerly chairman of the INQUA International Commission on Sea Level Change. And the uncompromising verdict of Dr Mörner, who for 35 years has been using every known scientific method to study sea levels all over the globe, is that all this talk about the sea rising is nothing but a colossal scare story.

Despite fluctuations down as well as up, "the sea is not rising," he says. "It hasn't risen in 50 years." If there is any rise this century it will "not be more than 10cm (four inches), with an uncertainty of plus or minus 10cm". And quite apart from examining the hard evidence, he says, the elementary laws of physics (latent heat needed to melt ice) tell us that the apocalypse conjured up by Al Gore and Co could not possibly come about. 

According to The Gospel of Al, all Arctic ice would be melted by 2014.

He's lying. Yet...no Liberal calls him out on this.

I liked it better when Al was hiding away, sexually harassing a masseuse. I suppose I should say "allegedly". I wonder what it cost him to settle out of court, because you know that's what had to have happened.

I have nothing against "green energy." But we're not there yet. Fossil fuels still remain the most abundant and affordable. Technology has not reached its zenith in manufacturing affordable green energy. Green energy needs to pay for itself and stop sucking government "incentives" (i.e. our money). And yes, I don't think fossil fuel companies should be getting corporate welfare either.

Gore is a huckster. He's selling Snake Oil. He's a terrible "fortune" teller...other than knowing his ever-expanding fortunes keep rolling in.

Here's a good read: 13 of the Worst Predictions from Earth Day, 1970. The one below is my favorite. Freedomworks.org:

# 11: "By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate… that there won't be any more crude oil. You'll drive up to the pump and say, ‘Fill 'er up, buddy,' and he'll say, ‘I am very sorry, there isn't any.'" — Ecologist Kenneth Watt

Way to hit it out of the ballpark, Kenneth. Having trouble 'filling 'er up?' Not so much?

No one - not in politics, the media, anyone...NO ONE would buy Al Gore's carnival barking if that person was a Republican, or anyone other than a Liberal.

If this were any other person, the Liberals would say that he has no qualifications or credentials, his past predictions didn't materialize so why should he be believed now and he'd be The Center Stage Circus Clown.

Can you imagine if former VP Dan Quayle  had been the the one to pick up the Global Warming Alarm Torch, telling us our future is doomed, as Gore has been saying, and if we don't do this, that and the other, we're all going to be wiped off the planet by rising oceans, multitudes of hurricanes, weather so hot it would melt any living thing. If it were Quayle, no Liberal would give him a molecule of credibility.

Thankfully, we have a president who balked at the Paris Climate Agreement.

Big Fat Al Gore

My Lord, did you see Big Fat Al Gore, Junior, his gi-normous head, and a face that goes straight down into his torso...he has no neck...it's all fat from the jowls down.

He appeared on Sunday, June 4's "Meet The Press" with Chuck Toad.

"Jowls" Gore on Meet the Press 6/4/2017

Man, he's getting far more than Three Squares a Day.

Maybe he's chowing down 24/7 on the ENDANGERED SPECIES CHILEAN SEA BASS of which he is so fond and which he had served to hundreds of people at his daughter's wedding. 

Big Fat Al is back in the limelight, making the rounds preaching his tired "sky is falling" eco-mantra.

You see, because President Donald Trump pulled us out of the Paris "Climate Change" scam, the following will happen to "the Children", oh deary me, "the Children"...dear god think of the children. 

See, those of us who think global warming climate change is a hoax, well - we can't wait for dirty water and filthy air.

If those of us who don't buy into Fat Al and his fellow EarthComrades had our way, we'd wave a magic wand and tomorrow, when your child turned on the water tap for some water; out would come this thick, mud-like, brownish liquid with chunks of unprocessed sewage floating in it.

Those of us who don't buy into anthropogenic climate change CAN'T WAIT until "the Children's" only choice is but to drink and swim in water like that of the below photo:

Sewage water; coming soon to a faucet and swimming pool near you!

We can't wait until every pond, lake, sea and ocean looks just like the above rusty, polluted water.

And don't get me started on air quality. We can't wait until "the Children" - all of "the Children" everywhere on the planet - are forced to breathe filthy, polluted, soot and smoke filled air like Beijing.

Beijing air pollution. Soon to be covering all towns and cities.

Those of us who find the entire global warming climate change hoax a hoax and nothing more, can't wait until every village, town, city, county, state and country has air as filthy - or more filthy - than that of Beijing.

By now, according to Big Fat Al, a considerable amount of coastal cities around the world would be covered with water due to glacial melting. He preached this almost twenty years ago and at the time said we only had about ten years to do something about this. Well, it's almost twenty years later and those coastal cities are doing just fine, thank you.

P.T. Barnum does NOT take a backseat in any way to Gore in the field of hucksterism.

This site  notes some of the dire warnings Big Fat Al gave in 2009:

Al Gore said in his “Inconvenient Truth”: The polar icecaps will melt sending 20-plus-foot flood waves into coastal cities worldwide. [...]

“Did you know that he bought a property in San Francisco near Fisherman’s Wharf, only four feet from the ocean? I would say that if he believed that the seas were going to rise 23 feet, he would not have invested a great deal of money in such a property.”

Gore's eco-terror story has made him an extremely wealthy man, a net worth of $300 Million. Nice work, if you can get it. Or "scare" the dimwits...ah, Democrats...in forking over money to his ridiculous, specious, unscientific tale of gloom and doom.

This bloated gas bag was called a "pervert" and a "sexual predator" by a masseuse in 2006.

"He turned from Mr. New Age into a pervert," [the masseuse] said. "He grabbed me in a big bear-hug embrace from behind and began mauling my breasts."

I can just picture Big Fat Al doing exactly the above.

Let U.S. water turn filthy, muddy and sewage-chunked and our air as black as that of coal mine dust. We have an earth to pollute and destroy. We better get busy.

We have to leave a legacy of polluted water and air for "the Children." It's our right, damn it, and it's about time we did something about it.

Endangered Chilean Sea Bass. But okay for Al Gore and Crew to eat.

Trump Dumps Global Climate Ponzi Scheme

President Donald Trump announced Thursday afternoon that he will pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Accord. The Jeff Bezos Daily Chronicle:

President Trump announced Thursday afternoon that he is withdrawing the United States from the landmark Paris climate agreement, a move to honor a campaign pledge that dismayed America’s allies and thwarted the global effort to address the warming planet.

Trump’s decision alarmed leaders around the world, drawing swift and sharp condemnation from foreign officials as well as top U.S. environmentalists and corporate titans, who decried the U.S. exit from the Paris accord as an irresponsible abdication of American leadership.

Screw these "foreign officials [and] top U.S. environmentalists." As I wrote yesterday, let Europe handle this one. 

The Laughable Mashable feels that...

Trump flips the middle finger to the world, your future.

Ooooooh...cue ominous music.

It does no such thing. It removes us from an equation that permits a consortium of foreign countries to levy a carbon tax on every sovereign nations and people.

Taxation without representation is what it is, and Trump backing us out from it is in keeping with his campaign promise. Anyone care to mention an Obama campaign promise, such as..."you can keep your doctor," or "I will close Gitmo in one year." Progressives must be furious Gitmo is still open.

It's former Vice President, losing Presidential Candidate and alleged masseuse groper Albert Gore, Jr's (and the Globalists) Ponzi Scheme.

Gore himself said coastal cities will be under water in ten years, yet that didn't stop him from buying a $4Mill-plus condo in an area he earlier claimed would be under water.

Trump removing the U.S. from this stupid "treaty" is great news. I can hear liberals' heads exploding. And that's always a treat!

Nothing is stopping any person from VOLUNTARILY writing checks to whatever earthloving group or org of their choice! But this global hoax will not be levied upon the U.S.

Oh, and right back at ya, Mashable.

LET EUROPE HANDLE IT!

From The Guardian:

HEADLINE:  Paris climate deal: exasperated world leaders prepare to move on without U.S.

Trump is reportedly poised to pull out of Paris – prompting murmurings that the world would be better off without American involvement[.]

"...exasperated..." pfffft!  "...prompting murmurings..." OMG, NOT "murmurings"?!

Yeah - let Europe handle this one, for once, instead of the rest of Western Civilization depending on the U.S. being part of their Socialized Unity of Climate Change (SUCC).

Hand this one off to Europe. It'll give them something to keep them busy.

While we must maintain our allies, no one is going to abandon the U.S. by our pulling out of the Paris Treaty; too much of the rest of the world depends on us.

So let Paris, the UK, Rome, the Vatican (where did the Pope receive his Masters and Phd on climate change, earth science and meteorology again? Remind me. The Pope of Climate Change should be spending his time on the issue of priests molesting both young boys and girls, but the Vatican has a lot of cash. They can pay out the hushmoney).

As for "green companies" (the failed "green initiative" pushed by EX-pResident Barack Hussein Obama), below is a far but complete list of bankrupt green companies.

Don't just think of them as going bankrupt, but as a waste of taxpayer assisted funding and all the number of jobs lost when these companies went out of business, with staggering amounts of financial losses:

* Soyndra, Seneca BioEnergy, A 123 Systems, Fisker Automotive, Amonix Solar , Bright Source, LSP Energy, Energy Conversion Devices, Abound Solar , Beacon Power, EcoTality, Azure Dynamics, Evergreen Solar, Ener1, SpctraWatt, Babcock and Brown, EnerDel, Olsen's Crop Services, Vestas, LG Chem subsidiary Compact Power, Nordic Windpower, Navistar, Satcon, Konarka Tech, Mascoma Corp.

Trump's "Evolving" on Climate Change. For NOAA and NASA, is it Ego before Science?

December 12, 2016 - CNN:  Trump: "No one knows if climate change is real."

March 29, 2017 - CNN: Trump's sweeping executive order to curb [the EPA].

The order represents a clear difference between how Trump and former President Barack Obama view the role the United States plays in combating climate change[.]

May 26, 2017: The Jeff Bezos Gazette and Times: Trump's views on climate change are "evolving."

I thought that "we" elected Trump to back us off the fast-track on, what is, complete speculation. [If Al "Rectal Thermometer of the World" Gore, Jr. and his crowd want to pump private money into (they won't) climate change research, great (but they won't).]

Let's back out of the 2015 "Paris Global Warming Hoax Treaty" and see what happens. I'm betting,  nothing.

CHECK THIS OUT from Science Alert.

Here's something that happens a lot in science: two researchers disagree about the best way to go about studying something. They fight about it. Maybe at first it's a small personal squabble, but later it plays out in essays and papers and other documents that the whole world can look at.

The stakes in this kind of fight are serious. A career's worth of research might be on the line, or the accepted method for caring for patients, or even the future of a whole field of study.

You can run your own search and find several different sides on climate change; to believe it or not, to believe the NOAA and NASA faked their research or not, or to believe the explanations claiming the faked research is true, just misinterpreted...or not. It doesn't matter.

The excerpt from Science Alert tells us all we need to know:  Climate change IS ALL ABOUT EGOS. The egos of those at NOAA and NASA. Their ego cage-matches can go on and on and on. But it's time to reign in the time and money spent on climate change. Of course climate changes. Is it the same temperature all day long for you? No? That's climate change. What did you do to facilitate this change in climate? Nothing.

Short of a nuclear missile exchange, I don't think there's much we can do, or do do, that affects the weather. And that's what this is...weather...it changes...there's no mystery behind it.

Global Warming takes a Hiatus

So that's why the temperature has been so enjoyable lately. News is here that Global Warming is on Hiatus. Red Orbit:

While scientists are in near-universal agreement that climate change is a thing and that humans played a significant role in causing it to happen, there is one area that has caused some confusion and fueled climate skeptics – the so-called warming “hiatus” that lasted from 1998 to 2012.

Now, however, new research published online this week in the journal Nature has attempted to provide answers by explaining that part of the confusion stemmed from short-term changes, the amount of unaccounted for heat stored in oceans, and incomplete observational data.

It's not RedOrbit's error, they're just reporting the story. But the above-linked story offers numerous examples where research data was excluded, missing, not known, unavailable and overlooked.

However, while the above unknown quantities remain unknown...

...lead researcher Dr. Iselin Medhaug of the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science at ETH Zurich and his colleagues explained [they will] they set out to reconcile those discrepancies.

While those "discrepancies" are being reconciled, the report remains adamant that humans are to blame:

...the authors wrote[...] “Combined with stronger recent warming trends in newer datasets, we are now more confident than ever that human influence is dominant in long-term warming.”

Did I miss the day that satire was introduced into science's academic curriculum?

"There's absolutely no doubt that humans contribute to global warming."

"Oops. We forgot to include a bunch of research."

"Well, we checked again and made sure we had all the data this time and we're certain human influence is contributing to long-term warming."

What is the definition of long-term warming? How can that possibly be predicted when no one can tell us what our local weather will be ten days out from today?

How does one even begin to calculate global warming being on hiatus? "Global warming on hiatus" has to be the most stupid, idiotic grouping of words I've ever read.

Does "Global Cooling" take hiatus also? Where does it go on vacation? Some place warm?

Were not the seacoast cities, by now, to have been wiped off the shoreline according to the Great Climatologist Albert Gore, Junior?

People once thought the earth was flat. Some still believe that.

President Donald Trump

PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP !

...still gloating....

This is fantastic: White House Web Sites deletes all references of global warming.

At noon, at the instant Donald Trump took office, [a White House web page referencing threats due to global warming]  was gone, as well as any mention of climate change or global warming.

"At noon..." - We're off to a great start.
