There are few things more beautiful than a sunny day after a snowfall.

Wir träumen in Wäldern mit dichtem Gezweig,

Im Nebel und unter der Rauhnacht Geschweig,

Wir herrschen in Mären, die fern einer singt,

Der nie in den Schein unsrer Sonnfeuer dringt,

Und spät ward ein Name uns Makel und Lohn,

Doch schon unser Werden war immer Passion.

-

Wir sind in die Mitte Europas gestellt,

Wir einen das Kleine der Größe der Welt,

Das göttliche Recht, im Gemächte des Manns

Verbürgt, macht uns einig und fruchtbar und ganz,

-

Denn ernst nimmt der Deutsche die Liebe, den Streit,

Den Glauben, das Recht und Gerechtigkeit,

Er duldet nicht Phrase, Theater, Zierrat,

Er fordert die Treue, die Ehre, die Tat,

Er haßt eine Ordnung, bequem und korrupt,

Sie gilt ihm als Teufel und Drache, beschuppt,

Bis Siegfried, Sieglindes erbsündiger Sohn,

Das Untier läßt spüren die deutsche Passion.

The article about heavy winter coats being a psychological prop is indeed very funny. However, the True Believers will simply come back with "It's not global warming, it's global climate change!" which is a figleaf for anything contrary to their narrative.

As a former True Believer, I am entitled to say this.

Expand full comment

There are not wrong.

The climate is constantly changing, in many different cycles, short and long. This is the nature of the climate on earth.

The illusion of the True Believers is that this can be changed, and somehow we can fix the climate into a specific state. The True Believers are the True Climate Change Deniers.

Maybe they'll claim that people getting proper winter clothing caused it to snow?

Expand full comment

Well of course, everyone knows that Mother Nature checks the buying patterns of all humans in all clothing stores all over the world before she decides the temperature at which to set Earth's thermostat.

Well, she /is/ a mother so of course she wants her children to be properly dressed in winter.

Happy Christmas to Eugyppius and family in beautiful snowy Bavaria from very cold and frosty Blighty. Bird choppers still out of action and CCGT keeping us all afloat, so to speak, while the verbal emissions rise at Cop28 in Dubai.

Several places here now snowed in but Nut Zero is going ahead.....

Sceptics will be delighted to know that HM the K, PM Sunak and Foreign Sec 'Call me Dave',each took a separate private jet flight to Dubai to lecture the great unwashed on the need to stop global warming.

I love your comment, especially 'nut zero'. I'm going to use that!

I read this gleefully, as Dr Al Jaber's remarks will surely lead to a serious outbreak of cognitive dissonance amongst the cognoscenti, the purple haired cultists, the sticky vicars and the assembled purveyors of imminent meteorological meltdown.

For the Left, it will be doubly troubling, in that this challenge has come from an influential Moslem spokesman; as we know, Islam in its every guise ,occupies poll position on the Left's to-do list.

Perhaps the purveyors of Nut Zero will find a way out of this challenge by blaming Israel, the go-to culprit when blame and condemnation are enlisted, to shore up the narrative.😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

what a beautiful place you live in. i am fortunate too. unlikely to ever have my own little house but from my windows i can see the river just outside and the mountains nearby, and we've already had a very light snowfall and can expect the river to freeze over sometime between now and spring. i am very grateful god invented polyester fleece and that our fabulous local thrift store gets lotsa lotsa returns from the l. l. bean mall store and i own a significant percentage of 'em now.

I'm jealous. I want to go to your thrift store! I wait for sales to buy my LLB clothes, but the sales are skimpy now - 10% off instead of what used to be 15-25% off.

Die Inbrunst, die nach dem Erlöser sich sehnt,

Erstickten die Pfaffen und drückender Zehnt,

Wer frei ist, der duldet nicht Steuer und Zoll,

Stößt Schranzen aus Fenstern und zeigt seinen Groll

Mit Waffen, die bar aller Zierde und Weih

Der ländliche Alltag ihm steuert herbei,

Und hilft gegen Plündrer nur Reformation,

Erfährt auch Herr Tetzel die deutsche Passion.

snow has just begun falling. what tempers my love of snow is loved ones needing to drive in it. otherwise i feel happy when i see the first flakes.

and i am very very lucky. it was a long strange road indeed, getting here. but i ended up a little bit more than ok.

a beautiful winter season to you and yours, too.

"What a wonderful world."

It is so important to stop and take time each day to remember that!

Expand full comment

That is my habit. I feel blessed every day. It's so easy to focus on the bad and not see the good. That provides some energy to give to making our world a bit better. Like Eugyppius I am amazed at the incompetence of our governments yet also accept I am not solely responsible for changing that. I remind myself that I am nobody special except to my family & friends. We are not that important even to planet Earth let alone the vast Universe.

Well, I do like to remember that my most important role in life is that of father. But I do like to think I'm a little more important in the grand scheme of things! On a beautiful, sunny Thanksgiving Day on a hike in a marsh wildlife refuge, I met a Persian-American Ph.D. in Geography who said that every morning he rises and gives thanks for being alive in this wonderful world. What a great approach. I've been trying to do the same every morning myself, with some success.

This morning's Bloomberg editorial featured the same claim: 2023 is the hottest on record. The "proof" offered was worse than lame. Perhaps this is a coordinated campaign from the Warmistas.

Expand full comment

Every new year will be the hottest year on record, because they manipulate the record to erase the past.

Even in legitimate, non-political science, we are seeing claims with "16 sigma" certainty (roughly one chance in a hundred billion that they are wrong) quickly countered by papers re-examining the data and claiming the opposite with smaller, but still outrageous sigma values. And when you look at the data, you find that there isn't enough there to conclude anything at all with any certainty. The whole practice of science is corrupted and untrustworthy.

Now I see the reason for the COVID jabs to kill people: fewer people to remember real weather statistics.

"Perhaps this is a coordinated campaign from the Warmistas." - Of course it is - coinciding with COP28 being held in Dubai just in case the world is paying attention.

Expand full comment

Good point. People in a hot climate in a country whose economy is powered by the production and sale of petroleum. Just the right place for COP28.

Do you think they will ever hold it in a snowbound nation in the winter? Or a low elevation island in the ocean?

Expand full comment

Not unless they're prepared to address all their failed long ago predictions of how these phenomena would no longer exist today. In 2000, the UK experts announced children would no longer experience snow in their lifetime - today half the country's blanketed with snow/freezing cold with the energy supplies barely coping. As for places like Tuvalu sinking from sight, it appears the territory has grown and the authorities built a number of new airports for tourists.

Expand full comment

Thanks for your reply. I am so glad the children of UK get to see snow, their parents must be ecstatic. Somehow I doubt the "experts" will admit their error. It may fall to us to remind each other of yesterday's weather that contradicts the experts. How else will we learn to scoff at experts?

I've lived in South Texas most of my life and am used to very very hot summers. But this one was the worst - almost 3 months of 100+ degrees and nearly no rain. Nothing in my memory like it.

Expand full comment

Yes, but across the northern border, southern Ontario and the Great Lakes basin had a cooler and wetter summer than normal. Grass that often goes dormant in late July stayed green through most of August. Signs of climate change perhaps, but not global boiling.

Expand full comment

I should add that the cooler, wetter weather in the Great Lakes region where I live makes it hard for me to understand the wildfires (a few hundred km to the north) in June that were apparently caused by climate change.

Texas really got blasted last summer, but the rest of north America not so much. Rather on the cool side mostly.

History never repeats itself . . . Time is linear, a circle is a line, we use a circular clock to measure time, or a sundial that measures the rotation of the earth before the learned machinations of springs and gears.

. . . If you draw a circle with x=cos(t) and y=sin(t) and drag it evenly in the z direction, you get a spatial spiral called a cylindrical spiral or helix.

The idea of history repeating itself is completely illogical in itself, but it serves a propaganda purpose for its users . . . Meaning . . . You can't go back to older cultural ways of doing things, because that makes you a sinner, a Nazi, or some kind of pagan devil.

The older pagan sexual customs were much more conducive to the health of Nordic-Scandinavian societies and supported women much more than those of the Jewish god Yahweh, the locust master, who drowned the world and demanded that a witch be burned alive. or an adulteress is stoned to death . . .

Monogamy is an unnatural order created by Zionist churchmen to establish vicarious liabilities in secular law, to control monarchical succession, as well as to establish ecclesiastical control over the reproduction of white women and individual white male posterity . . .

All men are born to a woman, married or not.

All this destructive Jewish propaganda in Hollywood and destructive Jewish religious practices brought to the West via Christianity have arisen out of their desire to destroy the white race.

Although not a fan of cold/snow/ice/winter, it's quite picturesque. In due course, I'm likely to see similar views out my window in southern New England.

One sometimes wonders why the European left gets along so well with Muslims. Why does an often overtly anti-religious movement take the side of a fierce religiosity that seems to oppose almost everything the left has always claimed to stand for? Part of the explanation lies in the fact that Islam and Marxism have a common ideological root: Judaism.

Don Rumsfeld was right with the comment ‘Europe has shifted on its axis’, the wrong side won WW2, and it is becoming clearer with each and every day . . . What has NATO done to defend Europe? Absolutely nothing . . . My enemies are not in Moscow, Damascus, Tehran, Riyadh, or in some ethereal Teutonic boogeyman, my enemies are in Washington, Brussels, and Tel Aviv.
