Hollywood actor Rainn Wilson, best known for his role in one of my favorite sitcoms, “The Office.”“ renamed his Instagram profile to “Wilson extreme heat with rain in winter”, a move he called a move to make people more aware of the dangers of climate change. . Instead, he could use the word “weather”.
He even suggested other actors do the same, provide name like Leonardo Di-Polar Ice Caprio is melting, Arctic B Cardi is melting, Amy Poehler Bear is endangered, and Harrison Why not drive an electric Ford.
It’s sad when celebrities are intentionally promoting a false story or are being misled by some elite group of politically oriented scientific organizations and mainstream media. Queen. Real-world data shows no dangerous or unprecedented warming. There has even been a brief pause in the rate of warming over the past two decades.
The past seven years have been very interesting. In 2016, El Nino, a weather phenomenon originating in the Pacific Ocean, caused global temperatures to rise. Since then, however, below-average temperatures have occurred frequently every year, contradicting the current climate view that summers are longer, hotter, and winters shorter.
Despite the rapid increase in greenhouse gas emissions from sources such as power plants, agriculture and internal combustion engines, different regions have halted the warming process. This disruption has been marked by instances of very heavy snow accumulation and an increase in sea ice levels in the Arctic.
The gold standard of satellite temperature data at the University of Alabama, Huntsville (UAH), shows that the Arctic has in fact cooled (or at least shows an observable pause in warming) since from 2015. In the chart below, one can easily understand the lack of warming and temperature spike during the El Niño year.

MSM consistently fails to report historically high levels of ice mass in North Pole area. The Greenland ice sheet is one of the main topics of discussion in the global debate on climate change. For decades, MSM claimed that ice in the Arctic Sea, including in Greenland, could disappear due to rising temperatures.
However, worries about the Greenland ice sheet are unfounded. The evidence suggests that Greenland’s ice is not severely depleted. In fact, the Greenland Surface Mass Balance (SMB) – an indicator used to measure sea level – is at one of the highest levels in recorded history.

The entire Northern Hemisphere has received large amounts of snow. Based on Latest data from NASA/Rutgers, snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere is higher than the 56-year average (1967-2022). At one point in November, it hit an all-time high.

Sometimes it’s easier to understand weather data than a mind unwilling to accept a reality that challenges the story of the apocalypse. For celebrities who display such stubbornness, we’ll borrow a name from a Disney character: Goofy.
