Climate change doom-mongering. The world is coming to an end... in the Alps.
Oh hum, it’s noon, time for another few hundered climate change lies.
Time was - long ago - when the BBC actually had sentient beings running the place.
They are using long time frames so they can “hide the decline” of the last 15 years.
“in the last 130 years, sunshine in the Alps has increased by approximately 20%.”
Anyone catch this? For one thing how would that be measured (how was the sun measured 130 years ago?)? Secondly; how would that possibly be related to human activity?
Isn’t the Ebola trumpeteer from Austria?
Sunshine increased by 20%? Only there and nowhere else? I thought the daylight seemed to stay longer. :>}
(That is, if any of this Climate Change nonsense is true*)
*Science, Common Sense, Reality, Facts (Ewww! Climate Alarmists hate that word), and Logic say that it is not true)
There hasn't been any warming in 19 years.
Try a different scam, Liars.
How about the one where you put a little pill in your gas tank and get 150 miles to the gallon.
That's a less destructive way to execute a grift.
No one talks about Global Warming anymore. That is so early 21st Century. Now it is all about severe weather caused by Global Climate Change.™
The problem with the Global Cooling and Global Warming scams is that eventually even the most low information rubes had to realize that all of the predictions ever made were wrong.
The world is getting colder. In 20 years we are going to have another ice age. Only it didn’t happen.
The world is getting warmer. In 20 years the polar ice caps will melt and the seas will rise. Only it didn’t happen.
That is why Global Climate Change™ is so much better. Global Climate Change™ is the scam that can never be proven wrong.
Is it warmer than usual today? It is caused by Global Climate Change.™
Is it colder than usual today? It is caused by Global Climate Change.™
Is it wetter than usual today? It is caused by Global Climate Change.™
Is it dryer than usual today? It is caused by Global Climate Change.™
Is it windier, less windy, cloudier, less cloudy? It doesn’t matter! There will always be weather. Now, whenever there is bad weather, no matter what the weather happens to be, it is caused by Global Climate Change.™
Notice how the environmental whackos on the left rarely talk about real water and air pollution anymore and instead focus entirely on CO2?
The leftists have always called for more socialist/marxist government control as the cure for pollution (and everything else). Pollution, don’t you see, is caused by capitalism.
Then the iron curtain fell and it became irrefutable that the worst polluters in the history of the world were the former communist countries, most of which had become large toxic waste dumps. People generally don’t pollute property that they own. People have no such restraint about polluting property that belongs to someone else. Pollution, the world could see, is caused by socialism.
So now the entire focus is CO2, because the United States, having the world’s largest economy, naturally produces the most CO2 per capita. Never mind that CO2 is a trace gas that is necessary for the survival of life on Earth.
This time socialism will work!
What a farce
Meanwhile in Switzerland they have had a cooler and wetter summer than normal...
“The report says that in the last 130 years, sunshine in the Alps has increased by approximately 20%.”
THAT would seem to be a result of lower precipitation and concurrent lower cloud cover, which can be related to changes in prevailing winds as much as anything else, and may or may not be directly related to “global” temperature. AND less cloud cover and less precipitation WOULD translate to some shrinkage of Austrian Alpine glaciers - again, irrespective of “global” temperatures.
