Record Breaking / Abnormal Weather Events Globally

[SnowBear]

BBC running as a headline on the fire in Hawaii not a mention on the amazing rainfall that's being seen, hurricane totals without a hurricane, some places three times the normal amount and rates of 10" of rain in 6 hours? Media is all focused on heat and nothing else.

Talk about bias... BBC again.. Zilch about the rainfall despite the headline perhaps indicating a look at all weather events... Article goes onto just focus on wildfires

Hawaii wildfires follow extreme weather events worldwide

The wildfires in Hawaii follow other extreme weather events worldwide in recent months.

The University of Hawaii has said large fires break out almost annually in some parts of the Hawaiian islands, but that the scale of the current fires is unusual.

Experts say many of the wildfires around the world are linked to human-induced climate change that is exacerbated by the continued use of fossil fuels. Some regions - such as the western US - have seen an increase in the area burnt by wildfires in recent decades.

Here are other devastating wildfires over the past year:

Greece - at least seven people died in hundreds of fires across the mainland and the Greek islands

Spain and Portugal - thousands of people have been displaced in wildfires that are currently raging. In July, Spanish authorities said that at least 300 people had died from excess heat

Algeria, Tunisia - at least 34 people were killed in Algeria due to wildfires that spread across north Africa

Canada - more than 25,000 acres (100 sq km) burned in what was Canada's worst wildfire season, and remembered by dramatic images of smoke covering New York city

Chile - more than 20 people dead, at least 1,100,000 acres (4451 sq km) burned following the worst drought in a thousand years

Kazakhstan - at least 14 people dead, around 150,000 acres (607 sq km) burned

The BBC have convinced themselves that they are not biased, but sadly, a great deal of their output appears to lean heavily towards tabloid reporting such as this, where they omit the facts which don't suit the sensational reporting style. They also over represent more extreme woke and left wing views, and often omit views which are the opposite to this, as they seem to think they are too extreme, but don't consider the extreme left to be extreme. To my mind, this indicates they have lost their ability to judge where the centre ground is, and sadly I've had to abandon them as a source of information, because I don't trust their ability to give balanced and representative accounts of events.

It's not just the bbc, it's all msm.

If it wasn't for Kirkcaldy weather in here I'd never know that there are always places setting new cold records!

A few weeks ago the record heat in Sardinia was all over the news. Until I read Kircaldy's Tuesday report I'd never have known there was some record cold!

Makes you wonder why it only seems to go one way.

It doesn't take much of a stretch of imagination to consider what impact this bias has, on climate change thinking and policy. This worries me a lot more than the actual climate change itself. 

Each person's perception of reality, is not actual reality, but a conglomeration of all the information they have taken in, and where their attention has been led. 

Our version of the truth.

So it's inevitable that policymakers are influenced by this ongoing bias, and in my view, is distorting our path forward with a changing climate.

It doesn't go one way though the anomalies of cold everywhere are also climate change. Systems just got stuck so either held cold or warm in one place for ages. Hence all the anomalies this year. If you look back, it actually not normal for so many records, hot or cold to go in one summer. I'm afraid people are arguing over the same side of the coin. Climate change is what we are talking about, and the speed it's happening.

The simple fact is that many more warm records are being broken than cold, so they are more likely to be reported.

Not to mention places reaching 45 or 50C or having a heat index of 81C are much more dangerous. If it drops one night to 14C in Sardinia it's not exactly newsworthy is it?

And as soon as you mention "left-leaning" or "woke" as above you lose all credibility I'm afraid.

It was slightly chilly when I left the house this morning. Where's the news article on that?!

Lose credibility in your opinion. This is dangerous talk in my opinion, where you state that someone loses credibility because they have a different view to yourself. This is the basis of the very dangerous cancel culture that has become popular. 

 

Have a good day.
