“This year’s summer will be warmer than usual for most of Europe,” read the headlines in major mainstream media. Yet, the summer has started off with a “Polar Plunge.”
This past weekend, thousands in Europe were forced to stay indoors because of below average weather conditions in what was supposed to be a pleasant early summer weekend.
Though this is a weather phenomenon caused by Arctic winds, it makes us question the claims of global warming alarmists who had predicted—and continue to predict—contrasting weather conditions.
Is freezing the new warming?
I still remember how I spent my “bank holiday weekend” in UK during the years 2009–2010. Sipping my tea and enjoying the beautiful countryside of Norfolk.
But the bank holiday weekend on May 6 was no time for outdoor activity. As the Arctic air plunged through parts of North and West Europe, temperatures dropped well below the average.
Paris had its coldest May temperatures in 22 years, forcing the yellow-vest protestors to wear warm clothes. Bern, Switzerland, recorded 4 cm of snow, which was very unusual for the month of May. The last time Bern experienced snow this late was in May of 1945. Germany, too, saw some unusual “May snow.”
There were shades of this freeze in the United States, too. Marquette, Michigan, recorded 5.4 inches of snow on May 1, setting an all-time record for measurement dating back from 1961. In Chicago, O’Hare International Airport measured more than 3 inches of snow in late-April, the first time it has happened since April of 1967. Colorado is expected to receive anywhere from 9 to 15 inches of snow this week.
The sudden plunge in temperatures took many by surprise, as most of Western Europe was forecasted to experience heatwaves during the summer of 2019, not these freezing conditions.
People argue that these are just weather patterns and that they are not representative of long-term climatic conditions. That is correct!
But these weather conditions are not supposed to happen if we were to interpret our climate system based on the global warming alarmists’ claims.
According to alarmists, cold snaps like these are supposed to happen less and less frequently. And though they might be colder than equivalent periods a decade or so ago, we shouldn’t have to look back before the relatively warming of the 1980s–1990s (unmatched since) to exceed them. But to their dismay, temperatures in the past two years have hardly behaved in such a manner.
The winter of 2017–2018 was the harshest in recent times, with record snow and record low temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere. It brought historic levels of snow and broke 80-year record lows at many places.
Following the inevitable coverage of those record winter lows in the mainstream media, the alarmists began arguing that extreme snowfall is actually a symptom of global warming. They were quick to scramble their personnel within academia to produce scientific reports to support the same.
If we were to go strictly by alarmist logic (of extreme snowfall caused by global warming), then we should prepare ourselves for cold weather and a freezing future, not a warm one.
Astonishingly, the alarmists have managed to the make the masses believe global warming causes both record heat and record cold and snowfall.
The kind of untimely snowfall we are observing in May requires below-average temperatures, not above-average temperatures, thus exposing the contradictions within the claims of alarmists.
Even if much of Europe were to experience record warmth in the coming summer months, it still will not explain why global temperatures dropped below average in the past two years during various seasons.
Either the alarmists are wrong in their predictions, or they have intentionally lied to create warming panic among the public.
Though weather patterns do not prove or disprove the extreme global warming theory, they do expose the extraordinary claims of extreme warming. Despite the continued doomsday call, we are experiencing contrary weather conditions.
A continuation of the alarmist misguidance will result in global nations being unprepared for cold weather conditions and could put millions of lives at risk. Alarmist prophecies should never be the guideline for policy makers in our political institutions.

Sunspots Rule. Warm weather will return.
But if it doesn’t the transition to Global Cooling caused by increasing Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere will be smooth as silk.
And the Dems will continue turn to that famous climatologist Karl Marx for their solution to the problem.
I wonder when people will stop believing the lies of the Left.
Literally everything the Left says is false.
Baxter somebody that has “End Time” magazine, my wife gets it, had an article on globull warming. He cited a litany of instances since the late 1800s of the media of the day pushing a disaster in the making story of climate change. They vacillate from warming to cooling on a regular basis. This latest hysteria has lasted longer than most.
I remember Popular Science articles from the 60s and 70s contemplating ways to warm the earf. Things like using C-130s to paint the poles with black asphalt.
"It is known that Global Heating causes Cooling."
"Yes, it is known."
We were running out of room for places to put the snow...
Global Hot Air.
Sun spots soon??
It’s nearly the middle of May and I’ve only ridden the Harley twice.
It’s always cold or raining.
This is like the 6th year for this crap.
Our “summer” is only a month or so long, now.
:(
It’s in the 50s during the day in DFW in May!
I don’t ever recall that happening.
This is the wettest year on record-to this date in the year.Here in Ohio we’re looking for a low of 40 tonight.No farming happening here at all,USDA says only 3% of the corn has been planted so far.If this weather continues we may be facing a food shortage.
Oh,and how are your dogs doing.My Rottie died last fall-sure do miss him.
Central OK. Mid-continent North America a been steady 15-20 def F below average T for a solid 2 weeks in 2019.
Freezing temps out high altitude clouds of normal west to east bound out of rockies and NO gulf coast warms to stir typical May tornados.
possible snow in OK panhandle tonite.
just cool cool rain. 43 in OKC tonight.
Global warming? hmmm.

How can you have an “early summer weekend” in May?
Rain today in Southern California high desert on May 10. I can’t remember when that last happened. ITSS — it’s the sunspots, stupid.
‘Yeah, there is climate change occuring, but it’s being orchestrated by a HIGHER AUTHORITY’
AKA the sun...
‘How can you have an “early summer weekend” in May?’
come to Brunswick County, NC, where I am now; it’s summer...
We are at the beginning of a sunspot minimum and thus a global Little ice Age such as has occurred more than once in the historical past. If we succeed technologically in removing CO2 from the atmosphere and creating a reflective layer to the atmosphere as we are, according to EPA, working on even now we will exacerbate the cooling trend and turn it into a depopulating world famine.
People will not stop believing. Most Americans living came up through public school which has taught no History for fifty years and has fed them propaganda increasingly through that time. People have no data with which to compare present times and Leftist claims. They will believe the most strident and emotional claims. These are the last days of the Republic.
