From the “weather is not climate”, you идиот department comes this about face by climate change nature.
Remember just a couple of weeks ago we were lectured to about the dangers of climate change turning towns around the Arctic circle into easy-bake ovens?
As New York’s David Wallace-Wells wrote of one town that hit triple-digit temperatures on June 20, “In a world without climate change, this anomaly, one Danish meteorologist calculated, would be a 1-in-100,000-year event.”
“We always expected the Arctic to change faster than the rest of the globe,” one researcher told the Washington Post.

Oy.
Well, I pointed out how absurd this all was, especially since it also happened 100 years ago, before the climate change was even a glimmer in leftists eyes. And, because with 24 hour sunlight at the peak of the summer solstice, the area is bound to get hot, because there’s no “night” to cool off. Of course, that didn’t stop opportunistic trough-feeding scientists like Mark “the Arctic is screaming” Serreze from taking advantage of the situation, claiming it was all part of a disturbing pattern.
Naturally, the visual that was produced on Twitter to scare people was pretty convincing to the non-thinking media types that pounced on the story.
But guess what? Now in the very same place (Verkhoyansk) that became the poster child for climate change back on June 19th and 20th, we now have abnormal cold and snow, according to the Siberian Times:
Abnormally cold weather has been recorded in the north of Yakutia with residents of Verkhoyansk district waking up to fresh snow on 5 July.
Snow in summer? Where’s the “climate change” outrage? Oh, right, it only applies if it’s hot and there’s a roasting visual to accompany the narrative for mindless media regurgitators.
Meanwhile, the locals are huddling around fires wondering where that 38C record went.
For those interested in real climate you can go to my website (ab0wr.net:8080) and look at the monthly cooling degree-day data for the past 15 years. It’s actually cooler now than it was in the 2000’s. This is why I advocate for the use of degree-day data for actually determining climate. What’s happening is a lot more readily apparent.
I also graphed the heating degree-day data for the past 15 years and put it on my web site. As you can see the heating degree-day values are trending down.
In other words the weather in Novasibirsk is cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. I suspect the warming trend is greater than the cooling trend but I haven’t analyzed that. It would be consistent with the claim that the average temperature is going up but would give exactly the opposite prediction given by the climate alarmists. At least Novabirsk is not risking turning into a cinder in the coming years as the climate alarmists would have you believe.
Of course if you live in the Keeweenaw Peninsula of Michigan , you are now into the “3 months of rotten sledding phase of the the year… as in “9 months of winter and 3 months of rotten sledding”
Well, I picked a great time to camp near Brockway Mountain Drive in the Keeweenaw in July 1988. Record highs near or above 100 degrees throughout the UP. Add to the heat, mosquitoes, deer and horse flies! Such fun.
I can’t find one article about this, apart from the Siberian Times.
You would think in an unbiased media world this would be reported as a follow up story, no? /sarc
You know something like “Pole of Cold district that recently recorded desert-like heat of +38°C now sees snow”.
But sadly we don’t live in that world, we live in confirmation bias world, a world of mis-informed people.
I meet them everyday.
Snow in Verkhoyansk

and record cold in Norway

while summer blizzards kill livestock and strand motorists in Jinjiang, CHina
plus growing sea ice extent in Antarctica

but everywhere else the continually homogenised temperature data show a heating trajectory that will extinct all life in 12 years.
But what can you do when people say the Arctic is “literally on fire” and who think average is “what it should be”?
The intelligence and education of people is sadly lacking. All they want to do is tell “fure” and “offensive” all day long.
So literally the day after tomorrow? LOLOL
Someone went to great lengths to skew the colors in that graphic, making the graphic convey a fallacious message.
Take note of the very narrow temperature range covered by blue, green, yellow, orange and red; i.e. these colors cover temperatures from -8° C (17.6° F) to 22° C (71.6° F). A total temperature range of 30 degrees Celsius (52 degrees Fahrenheit) are covered by five colors.
Temperatures represented by purplish colors begin at 22° C (71.6° F) and continue until 44° C (111° F).
Temperatures below -12° C (10.4° F) down to -26° C (-14.8° F) are also represented by purple causing purple to represent a huge range of temperatures, including normal Arctic temperatures.
A total temperature range of 40 degrees Celsius (72 degrees Fahrenheit) are covered by some shade of purple.
Malicious sophistry and misdirection.

I’m sure this was predicted…
