Summer has arrived in Europe a little early this year and alarmists in the media say it’s unprecedented, dangerous, all because of climate change. But what if it is not our fault? What if it’s not all that unusual? We will sweat the details.
On Episode #203 of The Climate Realism Show, we will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including a comeback for coal power, bringing science back to court decisions, and wondering what Mr. Wizard would say about climate change today.
Join Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely, and special guest Chris Martz LIVE at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook. Participate in the show by leaving your comments and questions in the chat.

The Erosion of Objectivity Through One‑Sided Narratives
A consistent pattern emerges when examining how large, complex issues are communicated to the public: objectivity is not usually destroyed by outright falsehoods, but by selective framing, emphasis, and omission. This process is subtle, often unintentional, and highly effective because it shapes not what people know, but how they think about what they know.
At its core, the problem is not misinformation in the traditional sense. It is asymmetric information exposure—where certain perspectives, risks, or influences are repeatedly highlighted, while others are implicitly minimized or ignored. Over time, this produces a coherent but incomplete worldview that feels balanced from the inside.
How One-Sided Narratives Form
The mechanism is straightforward and repeatable across domains:
The end result is not necessarily false. It is structurally incomplete, and therefore misleading in aggregate.
Story tip: Trump announces $700M plan to boost coal industry

Why does this money need to come from the taxpayers? We keep being told that things should be left to the market, which is fine by me. Thus we are reminded, for example, that the construction of railways was based on private enterprise, not government subsidies. And the transition from horses to cars took place without government support. But if the market demands coal-fired power stations then surely the money needed to upgrade the power stations, etc should come from the market, that is, the profits made by the coal-fired power stations?
GREAT NEWS, Isn’t it.
Instead of the BILLIONS spent on unreliable, environment destroying electricity partial supply.
Summer is over in Germany, rain and fresh air. Yes, we had some real hot days, and, what does it mean? Nothing, some hot wind from Africa, that’s all. It’s not a lot of more CO2, but nice sunshine and southern winds.
Same here in Southampton Uk , we had a hot week with up to 32.9C in my garden ,but it’s back down to 15C with rain . Records from TORRO show Uk had similar spells of hot weather late May in 1944, 1946, 1947 with temperatures exceeding 30C . Currently on 6th June 2026 it’s 14C , weather records for UK for this date show 32.8C in Merseyside in 1950
Boil? Well, not exactly, though last week was warmer than average in May. But this week in the UK has been much colder that average for the time of year. Case not proven.
