At the South Pole one cold weather record after another is being pulverised

While hundreds of private jets flew to the UN climate summit in Egypt not long ago, several cold records were smashed at the South Pole. On 16, 17 and 18 November, records were broken or equalled. On 18 November, the mercury dropped to -45,2 degrees Celsius. The previous cold record dates back to 1987. Then it reached -44,7 degrees on the same day.

    “Very cold days,” noted journalist Stefano Di Battista on Twitter.

    The winter of 2020-2021 in Antarctica was the coldest since measurements began in 1957. You would expect the mainstream media to report on it extensively, but nothing of the sort has been done.

    It has been a bad year for climate fanatics. In the Great Barrier Reef, coral growth has never been better. This is despite journalists and “experts” warning just a few years ago that it was likely to disappear.

    According to the latest satellite data, global temperatures have remained virtually unchanged for more than eight years.

    Meanwhile, European Commissioner and European Commission Vice-President Frans Timmermans considers the final agreement reached at the climate summit in Egypt “too small a step forward”. According to him, too many countries are “afraid to make the necessary efforts to reduce climate change”.

    Opposition gagged

    Jan de Laat, an authoritative scientist attached to Leids Universitair Medisch Centrum (LUMC), is critical of the government’s wind turbine policy. He linked the rise in heart problems to the noise of wind turbines.

    Zembla wanted to interview him, but De Laat has been gagged with a speaking ban.

    “If the wind turbines are placed in such a way that you cannot sleep well at night, then at some point – because it is a long-term exposure, every night again and again – it results in health problems,” the scientist told Dutch outlet EenVandaag late last year.

    After he publicly made a direct link between heart problems and wind turbine noise, the wind industry complained to his employer.

    He had agreed to an interview with Zembla, but a day before the filming, he said the university imposed a speaking ban on him. They strongly discouraged him from speaking to the outlet.

    An employee of the programme phoned a spokesperson who confirmed the ban: “We stand by the same advice at the moment, yes.”

    “How do ministers Dijkgraaf and Kuipers, and LUMC feel about this scientist being gagged by the hospital where he works?” asked FVD MP Pepijn van Houwelingen. “How does that relate to academic freedom? And how can truth-telling happen when criticism is stifled?”

    Earlier this year, Dijkgraaf disingenuously wrote on Twitter that “academic freedom, integrity and independence must always be guaranteed”.

    Subsidies for Microsoft

    In the province North-Holland lies the Wieringermeerpolder, the largest wind farm in the Netherlands, which has permanently changed the horizon with hundreds of millions in subsidies from the Ministry of Economic Affairs.

    When the wind farm was built, it was underlined that as many as 370 000 households would benefit from clean and, above all, inexpensive green power from the new wind turbines. But once the wind turbines were erected, citizens discovered that they were actually for multinationals Microsoft and Google, US companies that pay little or no tax in the Netherlands.

    Microsoft is taking all the proceeds from the new wind farm for its own data centre where servers of the Americans are also kept. The Dutch government thus handed over 660 million euros in subsidies to provide power to Microsoft.

    Electrical engineer Arnold Uilenhoet responded: “I think Microsoft and Google have played that cleverly.” Microsoft’s data centre uses a huge amount of power. The data centres in Wieringermeer will soon consume 4 percent of the total Dutch power supply, Uilenhoet calculated.

    “This is just popular deception,” he said, explaining why Dutch taxpayers are being lied to.

    Bill Gates’ New Plan: Cut Down 70 Million Acres of Trees to “Combat Global Warming”

    To be buried to prevent carbon emissions.It sounds like a bad joke, but the project has already been launched in US national parks. Millions of trees are to be felled "for the sake of the climate." The project is called the Carbon Lockdown Project and involves logging robots cutting down trees and dragging them to large pits where they are buried under oxygen-free conditions. "One ton of biomass in the soil is one ton of carbon dioxide not in the atmosphere," says Ning Zeng, the founder of the project. Bill Gates sponsors such a "climate company" called Kodama Systems, which has set itself the goal of burying one billion tons of biomass.

    The Entire Solar System is Changing

    CLIMATE CHANGEThe Sun has changed its activity dramatically during recent years. This is particularly evident on the outer planets of the solar system, and Free West Media presents a unique compilation of the drastic changes that some planets are currently undergoing and that are likely awaiting Earth as well.

    The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide

    Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.

    Climate Maps Manipulated to Mislead the Public

    The US state science organization NOAA released in May very revealing climate maps that show the average temperature across the world in April compared to the climate normal. Not only do they markedly deviate from countless countries' official temperature data for April, showing the spring month was cooler than normal, but they also contradict each other even though they originate from exactly the same measurement data. The New Times here reveal how the figures are distorted and that there are two parallel maps, one for scientists and one grossly deceptive one shown to the public.

    A massive coronal mass ejection (CME)

    Very unusual solar eruption: Extremely strong CME ejected from the far side of the sun

    A massive coronal mass ejection (CME) on the far side of the sun on March 13th had a speed of over 3,000 kilometers per second and was so powerful that it was classified as extremely rare (ER), something that only happens once or twice over several decades. It was ejected from the far side of the sun and therefore does not hit Earth, but was so extreme that radio traffic was nevertheless knocked out on Earth for several days. The sun is in an active phase during a low-activity solar cycle, a very dangerous combination for Earth, which has a severely weakened shield. We were reminded of this on March 15th after a weak CME once again created an unexpected geomagnetic storm with spectacular auroras.

    Volcanic eruption in Tonga will contribute to global cooling

    When the underwater volcano in the island nation of Tonga in the South Sea had its explosion-like eruption on January 15, 2022, a massive pressure wave, more powerful than the largest atomic bomb, spread through both the Earth's oceans and atmosphere. The catastrophic event created a record-high ash and gas cloud that continues to spread over the earth.
