That means: “What causes the extreme winter weather?”
In January. In Germany.
This was a real question asked and addressed by Germany’s ARD state TV channel. And they were serious. It wasn’t meant to be a joke. But it certainly is.
“Climate crisis” hysteria has brought us to the point where perfectly natural seasonal weather is now seen as a threat in need of an explanation and a solution.
German industrial output drops unexpectedly in November – German industrial production fell unexpectedly in November by 0.7% compared to the previous month, the federal statistics office said on Tuesday.
As reported earlier, this only confirms that the Green plan to shut down Germany in order to save the planet is running like clockwork.
When your industries start to tank because of the high costs caused by Green renewable energy fantasies, you produce less.
The less you do, the less CO2.
Germany’s 2023 CO2 emissions fall to lowest in 70 years but drop not yet sustainable – study.
Germany’s carbon dioxide emissions in 2023 fell to their lowest since the 1950s due to less coal-fired power and reduced output by energy-intensive industries, but the decline is unsustainable without climate policy changes, a study said on Thursday…
Industry emissions met government targets, falling 12% year-on-year, at 144 million tonnes, following an 11% drop in energy-intensive output, it added, warning that that fall could be lost this year with the sector’s recovery.
No way. Emission certificate fraud? For fraudulent emissions?
The Chinese would never do that.
German authority probes alleged Chinese emission certificate fraud – Listed project coordinates show only desert on Google Maps.
The German Emissions Trading Authority is looking into allegations of irregularities in an undisclosed upstream emission reduction project in China, the body told Nikkei Asia.
The move comes after allegations by German biofuel producers that upstream emission reduction (UER) certificates issued by the authority, known as DEHSt, to some international fossil fuel companies for their emission curtailment projects in China were based on fraudulent information.
Just this summer it was all over with the Rhine, I was told. But hey. The Climate Crises can be like that. One climate crisis is too dry. The next one is two wet. It’s kind of like the weather, you know?
River Rhine in south Germany remains closed to shipping – Parts of the river Rhine in south Germany remained closed to shipping on Friday after heavy rain and melting snow increased water levels, but could reopen later this weekend, navigation authorities said.
Germany’s Greens thought their moment had finally come…But then, last month, Germany’s top court handed down a ruling that effectively stripped the ruling coalition of the full financial firepower it needs to make those ambitions a reality.
The bombshell ruling by Germany’s Constitutional Court blew a €60 billion hole in the country’s finances, leaving the government scrambling to fill the gap. At the same time, the ruling sharply limits the government’s ability to draw from special funds created to circumvent the country’s constitutional debt brake, which restricts the federal deficit to 0.35 percent of GDP except in times of emergency.
These special funds were supposed to help finance several projects which are core to the Greens’ agenda — such as the transition of steel plants to hydrogen energy, subsidies for battery and microchip production, and the modernization of the country’s railway network.
Check out this German professor if you don’t believe me.
An Indian student’s internship application mail to a German professor has gone viral on the internet. The viral response from German professor sparked debate on racism and climate activism on Twitter. A student sent an internship application to a professor at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, hoping to get a positive response. But the reply by the professor has confused netizens.
The climate scientist who faces getting fired for refusing to fly back to Germany from the Solomon Islands.
Dr Gianluca Grimalda told by Kiel Institute for World Economy he must be at his desk on Monday after finishing fieldwork – A climate researcher has been threatened with the sack by his employer after refusing to fly back to Germany at short notice after finishing fieldwork in the Solomon Islands archipelago.
On Friday Dr Gianluca Grimalda, an environmental campaigner who refuses to fly on principle, was told by his employer, Germany’s Kiel Institute for World Economy, that if he was not at his desk on Monday he would no longer have a job to return to.
Instead this week he was still waiting in Buka Town, Bougainville, to embark on a cargo ship to begin his journey back to Europe, after six months studying the impact of climate change and globalisation on communities in Papua New Guinea.

The only problem with policies to ban these is that CO2 isn’t a pollutant.
Politicians are “driven by ideology, not facts?” No kidding. If only we could develop a car that runs on ideology. The world would never run out of fuel.
German firm to sue EU over ban on polluting cars.
E-fuel maker Lühmann says the plan to phase out diesel and petrol cars across the European Union by 2035 is “driven by ideology, not facts.” The company wants to ramp up sales of greener synthetic fuels.
The weather is not your fault. The climate (weather over time) is not your fault either. Yes, the climate is changing. It is changing because it has never not changed. But no, the “pollutant” CO2, anthropogenic or otherwise, is not driving this change. It is driving plant growth. The narrative you are being led to believe is false. The causes for climate change are all natural. Natural, although not yet fully understood.
How do we know this? We know this because of the historical records our ancestors have left behind and the physical evidence Nature gives us from the vast, pre-industrial past. What we are experiencing has all happened before, only usually much worse. This is why we don’t need to worry about slowing down or stopping the changes we have been conditioned to fret about. These changes can’t be stopped and we can’t “save the planet” because it doesn’t need to be saved. We only need to worry about how we can best adapt to these changes, something humankind has been doing for countless millennia already.
But, huh? How could the rest of the world have reached a different consensus if CO2 isn’t a threat? Because consensus is a political, not a scientific term and those who profit from it also control public opinion. “They” are the aggregate of the professions, groups, institutions and industries that profits financially or in any other way from the CO2 narrative. And they manipulate the public very effectively by exploiting at least three well-known human weaknesses. The first is fear. Fear is easily planted and maintained in the minds of the dis-, mis- and uninformed. Those who plant it know that short of any real and present danger, we humans will find something to worry about ourselves. We look for things to fear, in other words, and our false narrative beneficiaries are here to help us find them. The second is our need to conform. Being firmly rooted in social hierarchies and strongly influenced by group dynamics, we have a primal need to belong. This need is so great that we are willing to deny our own reason to avoid the ban of social outcast. The third weakness is our anthropocentrism. We innately feel that human beings are the center of the universe and are somehow in control of Nature. We are neither, of course, and this leads to hubris, narcissism, ruinous decision-making and ultimate failure. We lack humility, in other words.
Humility is a good thing, however. And this book is an exercise in humility. It aims to offer those who feel uncomfortable with the arrogant CO2 Climate Crisis consensus of our age a chance to step back and doubt. It is a modest collection of well-documented facts and logical observations (most taken from the books listed in the bibliography) that will hopefully help you choose to refuse. Choose to refuse the bias and the hard sell. Refuse the fear mongering. Refuse the indoctrination and the religious fervor.
Remember that only the individual thinks. Only the individual reasons. You don’t have to take part in this mob psychology – or mass delusion, mass hysteria, mass psychogenic illness, mass formation psychosis, etc., if you prefer calling it that. This is what is currently plaguing our planet, not CO2. Just say no and step away. To choose isn’t hard to do. So, without much ado, may the skepticism be with you.
