We cannot help feeling flattered that the mighty fact-checkers at AFP have come after us because “A video viewed tens of thousands of times on social media claims that satellite data showed no net global warming for the past seven years”, which they admit is true then X out lest it lead to unauthorized thoughts. Fact-checked for telling no lies. We made the big time. Now if we could just get Greta Thunberg to denounce us for telling inconvenient truths.

A NOT SO STRONG WIND Obviously it’s a bit of a cheat when a newspaper explains snow in the Sahara . . . . . . . . . https://www.escape.com.au/destinations/africa/sahara-desert-blanketed-in-snow-after-bizarre-weather-event/news-story/952b3caff4407543e21efe43600a42e5 . . . . . . . . . . . by invoking warming, renamed “climate change” so it can mean anything or nothing. But the idea is that the weather is getting weirder and worse, and it must be our fault because otherwise it wouldn’t be. Which brings us to hurricanes… though not them to us. Back in late November NBC allowed that “There was a collective sigh of relief Tuesday as the Atlantic hurricane season officially came to an end.” The reason they gave was that “This year was the sixth straight with an above-average hurricane season” so thank heavens that’s over, as the man said as he staggered off the golf course after playing worse than usual as always. But in point of fact, says Bjorn Lomborg, “Hurricanes in 2021 were unprecedented — as in unprecedentedly few/ Globally, 2021 had the fewest hurricanes ever in the satellite era (1980-2021)/ Did you see that reported anywhere?” To borrow G.K. Chesterton’s line about the Frenchman asked if he’d had lunch on the boat, “Au contraire.” |

“We were prepared for the storm,’ where a few inches of snow were predicted, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, a Democrat, said in a call with reporters Tuesday afternoon. ‘Instead Mother Nature sent more than a foot.’”
Apparently, the Virginia MET Office cannot predict snowfall to within a foot a few days in advance, but the UK MET Office can predict what will happen in 80 years-time.
