More climate "change" data manipulation

Drop the error range and simply adopt the upper end of the error range. That's sophistry, not science. Yellow is the predicted range of temperatures, blue is the actual error range, from the data. The black line is the 'data trick' that simply claims the high end of the range as the specific estimate.

By changing the way the data were reported -- drop the range, just use the limit -- the collusive, corrosive media were glad to oblige.

And meanwhile, in Germany, fossil fuel energy is scarce and expensive -- just as our presidents Obama and Biden prefer -- and people are not happy, or warm.

Germany is facing the worst winter in a decade as the energy crisis deepens in the wake of dwindling Russian gas supply, the country’s main energy source for household and industrial consumption.

With Germany freezing ahead of Christmas, the country’s socialist-led government urges citizens to cut back on heating despite record-low temperatures.

“As Germany experienced its coldest December in a decade, the government implored residents to exercise restraint on turning up the heat,” Germany’s state-run Deutsche Welle TV reported Wednesday. “December 2022 could be Germany’s coldest in a decade,” the broadcaster noted.

The crisis is much deeper than climate globalists want us to believe. The energy crisis poses an existential threat to the industrialized West. German public broadcaster Tagesschau warned that “according to a study, massive surge in gas prices may lead to the de-industrialization of German and Europe.”

No amount of rationing or energy saving might be enough to avert the coming disaster. Bloomberg Newscited a recent survey claiming that the German firms were “running out of ways to save” energy. “Large parts of German industry will no longer be able to avoid production cuts if companies need to further reduce natural gas consumption,” the outlet reported.

As ordinary Germans freeze and sit in the dark this Christmas, the climate fanatics are killing two birds with one stone: disrupting Christian festivities (so hated and despised by them), and destroying Europe’s biggest industrial nation.
