Germany, Austria blanketed in massive snowfall after ‘climate experts’ predicted no more snow
Meteorologists in Europe are assuming heavy snowfall that will affect all of Germany by the end of the month. These predictions go against the "models" of climate alarmists.

Polar vortex brings us the Ice Age: down to -25 degrees and permafrost in Germany’s cold triangle – This was the recent headline of the mainstream news magazine Focus announced on its online portal.
On these frosty winter days, the forecast of an alarmist climate researcher Mojib Latif from the year 2000 comes to mind. Latif, who is still a welcome guest of the mainstream media to this day when it comes to conjuring up the global climate catastrophe, warned at the time: “Winter with heavy frost and a lot of snow like twenty years ago will no longer exist in our latitudes.”
Because of the greenhouse effect in Central and Northern Europe there will be more westerly winds in the future, rainy and mild winters can be expected, Latif continued. The Hamburg “climate expert” came up with this gloomy prophecy over 20 years ago. The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, which was in charge in Germany and advised the federal government, among others, made a similar statement.
But since the turn of the millennium, there have been various cold winters with heavy snowfalls in Germany and Central Europe, with the year 2021 marking a frosty climax. But some scientists who, with the help of dubious climate models, want to convince us that the average temperatures on earth by the end of the century will be much warmer.
At least 20 people have died after heavy snowfall continued to batter Europe. Bad weather has closed down schools, disrupted traffic and hampered power supplies in many areas.
Over the past week, six people died in the Austrian federal states of Salzburg and Vorarlberg, with many still stuck in their homes, roads blocked and many regions left without electricity. In Austria, as well as in Germany and Italy, a second level of avalanche danger has been declared.
And during this recent cold spell, modern electrical machines and wind turbines were susceptible to failure in freezing temperatures. Only a few days into the double-digit minus range, the highly praised modern electrical technology had quickly reached its limits. The energy turnaround prescribed by the Green establishment in Germany for example, regarding wind, solar power, electromobility and bio-mass, soon demonstrated that it can at best be used as an additional option for generating energy and only under ideal conditions.
It appears to be more of a symbolic gesture for high-earning eco-hipsters, old leftists and do-gooders, than a genuine energy option.
The expensive electric buses in Berlin all came to a halt in the cold. Nonetheless, the Senate there is sticking to its plan to convert the entire fleet to this unreliable means of transport by 2030. For better or for worse, pure ideology is prescribed – no matter how useless it is in the harsh reality.
The propellers for wind turbines also quickly froze in colder conditions – and they were therefore unusable. It is just one of the many ecological and technical challenges that are currently facing green energy. Because of this, old-fashioned fuel-powered helicopters had to take to the air to keep the sensitive high-tech ready for operation by dispensing lots of chemicals and hot water. This toxic mix then seeped into the forest floor.
Back to reality. A picture that speaks a thousand words: An electrical Tesla car being towed by a diesel truck. Photo: Twitter
The image of the snowy A2 highway in Germany circulated on social networks and spoke volumes about how a 50-year-old Unimog truck had to tow away a sinfully expensive Tesla whose battery had failed in cold conditions.
And many European countries no longer have the management staff in order to cope with such catastrophic situations at all. All the Green left-wing state politicians who are trained in sociology, law and gender sciences.
Conversely, what do regions do where it can be 50 degrees below zero or more in winter – such as in Siberia? There the admittedly far less effeminate residents, those responsible and their administrations rely on ancient coal, or nuclear power plants, briquette heating, self-knitted woollen sweaters and old diesel trucks.
And somehow they get along very well with this simple, but highly functional low-tech machines, especially under difficult winter conditions. They have the tried and tested old-school equipment and practical and hands-on citizens. There, no one is afraid of a few cold nights.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.
Turkey Believes Sweden Hasn’t Done Enough
Sweden will have to wait a bit longer for NATO membership, according to Turkey's Justice Minister Jilmaz Tunc. First, Sweden must extradite the "terrorists" Turkey wants and stop the desecration of the Quran.
Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."
Dutch FvD break through the media blockade
What is happening in the Netherlands? It is often difficult to follow events in other countries, especially when distorted by system media. We give Forum for Democracy (FvD) the opportunity to speak out on the political situation in the Netherlands and the staunch resistance they face in trying to save the country.
The Ursula von der Leyen Affair
After a criminal complaint in Belgium against the President of the European Commission, the so-called SMS-case, now takes a new turn. The judge responsible for the investigation will likely gain access to the secret messages exchanged between Ursula von der Leyen and Albert Bourla, CEO of Pfizer, at least if they haven't been deleted.
Publisher of Unique Literature Worldwide Blocked by International Distributor
Arktos has distinguished itself by publishing groundbreaking philosophers and social critics. Now, the publisher's international distributor has abruptly terminated the cooperation, and more than 400 already printed titles cannot reach their audience. There is strong evidence that the distributor has been under pressure, something that has also happened in Sweden. We have spoken with Arktos founder Daniel Friberg about the ongoing struggle for freedom of speech in a shrinking cultural corridor.
Care prompts bishops to criticize transgender ideology
The Catholic bishops of the Scandinavian countries presented an open five-page letter criticizing transgender ideology on March 21, just before Easter. The document primarily expresses care and advice and was read aloud in Catholic churches in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland. Cardinal Anders Arborelius, Bishop of Stockholm, is one of the signatories of the document.
