From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even by their own standards, the BBC\u2019s latest climate report, \u201cA year of extreme weather that challenged billions<\/a>\u201d, is shockingly dishonest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s the same load of lies they peddle every year \u2013 the world\u2019s weather is getting more extreme, and it\u2019s all due to global warming. And every year they trot out a handful of weather events to \u201cprove\u201d it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They never, of course, provide any actual data to prove that these events are anything other than random, natural occurrences, which have always occurred. Nor any evidence that such events are getting more frequent or extreme over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s review claims that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClimate change has brought record-breaking heat this year, and with-it extreme weather, from hurricanes to month-long droughts.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/ckg8dg3ke40o<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It goes on to list a heatwave in northern India, drought in the Amazon, six typhoons in the Philippines and floods in Sudan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Indian heatwave in May and June was covered by the BBC at the time here<\/a>, when they called it unprecedented. It will come as no surprise to you that it was nothing of the sort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daily temperatures in Delhi never got near the record set in May 1944, whilst the monthly averages for May and June were not unusual at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the Amazon drought, as an earlier BBC report explained<\/a>, one of the major factors in low river levels is deforestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as the climate is concerned, the World Bank Climate Portal states that rainfall in the Amazon basin has been increasing in the last 30 years:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Philippines may have had more typhoons last year than average, but globally the number of tropical cyclones was lower than average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/tropical.atmos.colostate.edu\/Realtime\/index.php?arch&loc=global<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And extreme rain in Chad and Sudan?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The World Bank Portal also highlights the catastrophic droughts in the 1970s and 80s \u2013 the Sahel Droughts, which directly resulted from global cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To arid countries like these, you can never have too much rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
https:\/\/climateknowledgeportal.worldbank.org\/country\/sudan\/climate-data-historical<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And as the World Bank country profile for Nigeria pointed out, floods have been exacerbated by deforestation, watershed degradation, land use, urbanisation and building on flood plains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What particularly stands out about this latest BBC review, however, is its constant referencing to weather attribution models, which have long been debunked as unreliable, biased, unscientific and designed to garner headlines. There is no attempt to back up any of their assertions with hard data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actual facts are of no interest whatsoever to the BBC now, as far as climate is concerned. They live in their own little bubble, where fraudulent computer models reinforce their ideology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
