Cold Records Get Ignored



Cold Records Get Ignored
The majority of the world's major mainstream media, especially those that regularly spotlight hot weather events as signs of climate apocalypse do not address the fact that extreme cold stands in stark contrast to the theories of climate alarmists. When high temperature records are set, most of the media immediately let folks know. Yet when a cold record is set, you most likely will not hear about it. Cold records are being set at various places around the world, or in some cases no temperature change has been noted for decades. The following are some examples.
Antarctica Antarctica has suffered a fiercely cold the last 18 or so months--cold that is refusing to abate. More than all that, though, the entire year of 2021 (not just the winter) was also a record breaker. The unusual chill has extended into 2022, too. All of this continues the unmistakable cooling witnessed over the past 40 years. And likewise, when it comes to ice, Antarctica's glaciers have been expanding in recent years, also continuing the trend of growth witnessed over the part four decades. 1 Antarctica's Larsen Ice Shelf station indicates a cooling trend, -1.1 C per decade, and this has been gong on since the late 1990s. 2 About 85 percent of the East Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet has sustained 'uninterrupted advance' since 2003. 3 Arctic Despite the current rising trend of carbon dioxide levels, Arctic ice is actually expanding, not melting. Arctic ice is currently at a 30 year high. 4 This is the fifth year out of the last seven that enough sea ice has formed along the west coast of Hudson Bay by mid-November for bears to be able to head out to the ice, just as they did in the 1980s. 5 For the last 200 years (1800 to present), a site in north Svalbard there has been no significant change in temperature, increased sea ice and glaciomarine conditions. 6

Alaska This winter was one for the record books in Denali National Park, Denali officially broke 99 years of record, making 2021-2022 the snowiest winter since the park started tracking snowfall in 1923. 7 Wrangel Island reindeer numbers plummeted from 8,500 to 400-500 individuals within 5 years (2002-2007) due to repeated cold weather related icing episodes resulting in starvation.8 Iceland Iceland experienced the lowest June temperature in 30 years. 9 Japan The Tokyo off shore island of Hachijo-jima is located 287 kilometers south of Tokyo in the Pacific Ocean. The island is rural and free of urban heat island effects. Here the mean April temperature hasn't risen in 81 years! 10 This past October the mean temperature in Tokyo came in at 17.2 C, making it one of the coolest over the past decades. More significant, however, is the trend over the past 33 years--it's been downward. 11 Japan reported 13 deaths in early January 2021 and hundreds of hospitalizations due to intense snowfall in the country. 12

Russia and Belarus Regions of Russia and Belarus have suffered the earliest frosts on record since the onset of September of this year. 13 Northern Hemisphere Snow extent in the Northern Hemisphere at the end of November was running much higher than average and is beyond the highest ever observed since 1967. 14 Southern Hemisphere New research continues to document non-warming an even 'robust cooling' trends for entire regions of the Southern Hemisphere in recent decades. 15 South China Sea Since 1979 there has been no net warming in the South China Sea and no evidence of a hiatus or 'growth discontinuity' in this region's coral development. 16 Australia "Year after year, they told us it would get warmer, ski seasons would get shorter and children won't know what snow is." reports Joanne Nova. Instead Thredbo in the Australian Alps just had 125 cm of snow, a full 4 feet in 7 days, which some are calling a 54 year record. Skiers in Australia are thrilled. 17 On Thursday December 8 was the equal coldest weather ever recorded in Australia in summer time. The low temperature of 7 C equaled a record set in January 1979 and also 1999. The media was very silent on this issue. 18


Italy In an assessment of the performance of climate projections for all of Italy over the 1948-2021 period, no rising temperature trend is evident that could align with the rise in CO2 emissions. 19 Portugal Daily temperature records in northern Portugal indicate no net warming from 1863-2004. Also, the Medieval Warm Period was warmer than the 21st century at this location. 20 Affirming this temperature record, documented Northern Portugal grape harvest date records also show no net warming since 1855. 21 India In India, Delhi experienced one of its harshest winters in recent memory, with intense cold waves. 12 Madagaskar A 334 year coral record from southernmost Africa (Madagascar) indicates there has been no obvious long term net sea surface temperature trend since the 1800s. 22 Spain Residents in Spain were in awe over the record snowfall in their streets. 23 Washington A record-cold spring in central Washington, although good for water storage, has not done cherry growers any favors, Frost and snow hitting the cherry blossoms is bad enough, but consistent overnight lows in the 30s and daytime highs in the 50s has taken its toll on crop yields--it was too cold for the bees to pollinate the cherry blossoms. Orchards are down as much as 90%, according to industry experts. 23
