The Hill Bashes “Climate Fearmongering”
“Each scorching summer is touted as further evidence of an impending climate catastrophe with little room for nuance or objective analysis. Lost in the hyperbole is the inconvenient truth that cold weather actually poses a far greater threat to human life than heat waves do.”
The above is a paragraph lifted from a recent The Hill article, which was penned by Vijay Jayaraj who holds master’s degree in environmental sciences from the University of East Anglia.
“Contrary to popular media efforts to make a bogeyman out of warmth,” Jayaraj continues, “humans possess physiological protections and have made behavioral adaptations that enable them to withstand and even thrive in warm weather … In contrast, cold weather presents a more insidious and often overlooked threat … Cold is a much bigger killer than heat all over the world … According to scientific studies, extreme temperature accounts for 6.5 percent of all deaths in India [the author’s home country]. Of those deaths, 88 percent are caused by cold weather and only 12 percent by hot weather.”
The Hill has adopted a seismic shift in tone, particularly for a publication considered to be ‘left-leaning’ (whatever that really means–both left and right play us like a fiddle). Uncoincidentally, this shift towards logic is occurring in line with the recently expressed views of the newly anointed head of the IPCC, Jim Skea.
“The world won’t end if it warms by more than 1.5 degrees,” Skea said in an interview, and a rise above and beyond that air-plucked threshold “would not constitute an existential threat to humanity”–a bombshell to the orange paint-tossers among us, I’m sure.
The Hill continues: “Despite the overwhelming evidence of cold weather’s greater dangers, these often go unnoticed. Selective media coverage tends to focus more on heat than cold, perpetuating a distorted understanding of climate-related risks and hindering public discourse on comprehensive strategies to mitigate the dangers of frigid weather.
“In addition, the media ignore or distort historical long-term trends that show the warmth of our current climate, in spite of climate change, is neither unusual nor unprecedented. Data from the federal Global Change Research Program’s Climate Science Special Report show that heat spells cover fewer days per year and are less intense in the U.S. in the last 10 years than they were 90 years ago. No, we’re not burning up all of a sudden. There is hot weather, and it is nothing new.”
Vijay Jayaraj concludes: “The media’s choice to misinform people about both historical data and the relative risks of heat and cold reveals a motive to promote climate fear.”
The MSM is indeed on warm-mongering overdrive. Take Europe this summer. Barring a pocket of heat to the south, the continent, overall, has held anomalously-cold all July, with low temperature records broken and heavy snowfall hitting the Alps.
This cooling trend is now intensifying into August:
Above is the reality, yet below is the baseless drivel spewed by activist-journalists such as Jack Kessler of the Evening Standard:
Go send Kessler your views on Twitter (he’s already blocked me) — a true journalist will appreciate corrections.
Sunspot Watch
Sunspot AR3380 has been flaring every 3 hours-or-so:
Extreme ultraviolet flashes have been ionizing the top of Earth’s atmosphere, causing a series of shortwave radio blackouts around all longitudes of our planet. Likewise, ham radio operators may have noticed frequent loss of signal and other propagation effects at frequencies below 15 MHz.
The explosions have also hurled faint Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) into space, ejections NOAA analysts are modeling to see if any are Earth-directed.

Russian Scientists Grow Watermelons In Antarctica
Scientists have successfully grown watermelons in Antarctica.
The agricultural feat was part of an experiment at Vostok Station, a year-round Russian research station located at the Pole of Cold which has registered record-low temperatures in recent months/years — as documented here.
Researchers from the Russian Antarctic Expedition of the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute (AARI), alongside colleagues from the Agrophysical Research Institute and the Institute of Biomedical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences, constructed a setup, an ‘oasis’, where they could increase the air temperature and humidity.
They planted the seeds in a thin layer of soil substitute, and positioned special grow-lights above the crop. Due to there being no insects to pollinate the flowers, the researchers had to pollinate everything by hand. Their efforts were rewarded. 103 days after sowing, the researchers were greeted by eight “ripe and sweet fruits” growing across six different plants.
“Naturally, all polar explorers were glad to remember the taste of summer,” said Andrei Teplyakov, lead geophysicist of the AARI. “Even the observation of seedlings, growth and the appearance of fruits … [elicited] positive emotions.”
In a supposedly catastrophically warming world, why are scientists investing time and effort into growing food in -83.2C/-117.8F?
But these are Russian scientists — they never bought into the West’s cLiMaTe BrEaKdOwN finger-paintings.
The Russians, instead, have for decades warned that the next climatic epoch will be one of stark cooling.
As explained by eminent space scientist, Habibullo Abdussamatov (Dr. Sc. – Head of Space research laboratory of the Pulkovo Observatory, Saint Petersburg), “The Sun defines the climate, not carbon dioxide. The so-called ‘greenhouse effect’ will not avert the onset of the next deep temperature drop, the 19th in the last 7500 years, which without fail follows after natural warming.”
“We should fear a deep temperature drop — not catastrophic global warming,” asserts Dr. Abdussamatov. “Humanity must survive the serious economic, social, demographic and political consequences of a global temperature drop, which will directly affect the national interests of almost all countries and more than 80% of the population of the Earth.”
Armed with this knowledge, learning to grow watermelons in -100F makes a lot more sense.
Musk vs CCDH
And finally, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), the ‘non-profit’ responsible for stripping Electroverse of its advertising, looks to be getting theirs.
Elon Musk’s “X”, no less, has filed a lawsuit against the pro-censorship group, which it has accused of “actively working to assert false and misleading claims encouraging advertisers to pause investment on the platform.”
You cannot bend the fabric of reality for very long, it will always snap back, and hard.
WoW!!! Great Article Cap!!!!
One must remember our own USA “Greenhouse in the Snow” growing citrus trees in Nebraska. https://greenhouseinthesnow.com/ This has greatly promoted the use of underground geothermal heating/cooling placed below the greenhouse before construction. It reduces the temp control to pennies compared to say a north Florida greenhouse winter heating costs by propane of $10,000 or more.
Thanks for pointing out Kessler. I have enough data to put down most any of their rants on Twitter. One guy I turned his statement around which was something like “The more CO2 in the atmosphere the slower the warming (???)”. This was a saturation effect of some kind. He blew a gasket of course like an over-heated V8 I.C.E. – Internal Combustion Engine!!! Seems Mars 98% CO2 Atmosphere freezing
into dry ice each Martian winter did not fit into a false CO2 heats up theory!!!
Their main Achilles Heel is the heating effects of GECs – Global Electric Circuits. This was pointed out by Ben Davidson of Suspicious Observers (who gets way too technical for most people, even me). He pointed this out as the “Fatal Flaw” of the climate change propaganda. Think “Where do the Auroras go?” The electric currents go to ground of course. So in each atmospheric low or high we have electric currents flowing to or away from ground. Check out the lightning around a hurricane. The heating of the atmosphere like an incandescent light bulb by these currents can account any and all warming claimed to be CO2 effects.
No wonder our current USA administration wants to ban those light bulbs!!!
Seeing one staring you in the face one can understand how GECs can heat up
Planet Earth.
The opposing party certainly doesn’t get it. Start with our training in school about electricity. The book starts with “No one knows what it is!” No wonder electricians go nuts, constantly working with an unknown. I tell you what electricity is down to it’s basic basic fundamental – AGITATION!!!
Something or someone is agitating something or someone creating a Charge – a difference of potential. One can start with the difference between a Spiritual Being (you and me) versus the Physical Universe!! This makes this place immediately a two-terminal universe, with lots of charge and flows occurring. This is my opinion!!!
Let’s Play a Game!!!

” But what exactly is electricity? This is a very complicated question, and as you dig deeper and ask more questions, there really is not a definitive answer, only abstract representations of how electricity interacts with our surroundings.”
This comes from https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/what-is-electricity/all
“There really is not a definitive answer” is a current example of my textbook example I had decades ago.
Fortunately a student of “Atomic and Molecular Physics” (the precursor university course to Nuclear Physics) L. Ron Hubbard nailed down the definitions of Matter, Energy, Space and Time ( MEST) so that we Spiritual Beings can gain some control over our environment!!!

Sorry to mention this but L. Ron Hubbard just invented a religion to amuse himself and a few friends.
And bilk millions from mind numbed devotees.
Here in southern New England woke up to 56 degrees at 5:30 am. Forecast high is for 75 today and back into the 50s tonight. No mention from local media but if it were 95 degrees today it would be all over the news. Unfortunately folks many believe in this global warming crap. The media and politicians in the USA have done a great job dividing this country in many ways.
The Hill continues: “Despite the overwhelming evidence of cold weather’s greater dangers, these often go unnoticed. Selective media coverage tends to focus more on heat than cold, perpetuating a distorted understanding of climate-related risks and hindering public discourse on comprehensive strategies to mitigate the dangers of frigid weather.
I agree as you all do with this statement. Little if nothing is being done on the national level to prepare for eventual cooling and and damaging effects of global cooling.
If Musk wants an idea to explore I have one. I would like a light weight hail impact absorbing material on my roof. We all know hail storms are more plentiful and more damaging. California’s major insurance companies won’t write new policies. At some point insurance may be so negatively impacted, no pun intended, that they can’t stay afloat. We will be on our own. There is precious little time to make changes that will Fortify our homes and infrastructure.
Scientists are taking it way too far. You need basic physics to understand why the surface of the oceans are too warm. Underwater volcanoes, people have already put that here. That may be true around Japan, whether that is the case with Ireland I don’t know.
But what does my basic physics say. Warm oceans = lots of rain and snow.
A lot of meltwater warms up to 4°C and sinks down. Deep in the oceans, all water is 4°C and that is getting more and more. The heat is pushed upwards.
Scientists are now going to take temperature measurements to find out where that warm water comes from, but are they going to look at vertical currents, or just horizontal as with the jet stream?
Put a glass of warm water in a freezer, what do you see. Steam and heat rise faster and faster.
What do I see on the nasa measurements of the planet. Cold air over land for 5 years now.
More and more cold air skims over the waters, sending a “glass of warm water into the freezer” direction.
The heat in the oceans rises faster.
So the oceans aren’t going to warm the world, the short-term warming is due to the slowing effect oceans have of the cooling of the planet.
As you noted earlier, the heat does not come from the oceans or greenhouse gases, but from the sun.
When the heat escapes from the oceans, the earth loses heat, it doesn’t gain heat from nothing.
Only money can multiply without gold, money created from interest systems that drives eternal inflation.
But that’s not how nature works at all.
Only sick minds (bankers) work this way.
And even then, their money also loses value, as the planet loses heat in recent years.
That, too, is a natural consequence of their diseased systems.
Please Cap, I implore you, I’m stood here now writing this on bended knee begging you, remove the article about melons before the bbc ‘verify’ get hold of your story. Before we know it the bbc will twist your article to read ‘Global Warming or climate change- 97% of scientists haven’t decided which it is yet- has turned the whole Antarctic into a tropical Gardeb of Babylon warm enough to grow Melons, a feet not copied by the great gardener Monty Don.
In other news, thanks for all you do to highlight what is really happening with our climate. You write in an interesting informative easy to understand way.
Cheers Guv’
Have a great weekend
Why we’re afraid of heath and not so much of cold? Since centuries we’ve been conditioned that hell is hot and nobody likes to go there and the blue sky with fluffy white clouds is rather cool and it’s paradise. Heath is associated with punishment for sin and it seems to work, it’s all our fault. So we must repent and obey or else. Even secular atheists are still under that curse without knowing. It’s still a long way to go with humanity till they understand that and leaving all that GW left behind and focus on adapting rather repenting and make the rich richer.Remember as the preaching go’s; that salvation is by faith and not of works.
Nice to see a bit of basic Sciontology tech from Dallas there. We know all there is to know about media and governmental suppression and hate campaigns having stood up against it, at least since May 9th 1950.
