A Few Months of Drought and the BBC Blames ‘Climate Change’ For Spanish Olive Oil Shortfalls

by Chris Morrison
11 December 2023 7:00 AM

The climate alarmists at the BBC have been out in force during COP28 with a story focusing on a couple of years of Mediterranean drought linking “climate change” to poor olive harvests. It makes a good short-term weather story, but what it has to do with longer term changes in the climate attributed to humans is a bit of a mystery. Olive oil production in Spain has been at record highs in recent years, while rainfall has shown little overall change for over 100 years.

The BBC claims that climate change means traditional assumptions that a poor harvest would be followed by a good one, “are no longer safe”. The authority of a UN environmental programme report is invoked to justify the statement. Spain is the world’s largest olive oil producer covering 70% of European Union consumption and 45% of the entire world. As the graph above shows, Spanish olive oil production has soared in recent years to record highs. The Mediterranean climate has always been affected by spells of drought followed by prolonged heavy rain. In addition, the olive tree often fruits well in one propitious year and takes a breather in the next. All these factors, none of which can be tied to long-term changes in the climate – human-caused or otherwise – help explain the short-term variation in harvest yields.

Rainfall across Spain has been remarkable stable for over 100 years. According to World Bank figures, average precipitation was actually marginally higher in 1991-2020 at 622.78 mm, compared with 618.95 mm between 1901-1930. In common with the rest of the northern hemisphere, the temperature has risen around 10C over the last century since bouncing back from the Little Ice Age (LIA). However, the effects seem beneficial, not least for olive growers. In a 2005 science paper investigating past Spanish climatic conditions, a team of scientists led by Professor Manuel de Castro of the University of Castilla-La Mancha noted much greater LIA climate variability between the 17th and 19th Centuries. In certain periods of the LIA, the risks were “more frequent” and of “greater magnitude” than during the 20th Century, “with a noteworthy impact on the societies of the time”. It was observed that the period stretching from the middle of the 19th Century to the present day has involved “a return to conditions of greater climatic regularity”.

None of this scientific and historical perspective is ever likely to appear in a legacy media story these days since copy about natural variations of the weather is ruthlessly hijacked to promote a collectivist Net Zero narrative. But this endless stream of intelligence-insulting, green drivel is starting to be more widely called out. In an excoriating article stating that the COP circus has achieved “next to nothing”, the veteran British journalist Andrew Neil recently poured scorn on “green grifters, renewable energy hucksters, two-faced fossil fuel executives, snake oil ‘scientists’, political and royal virtue signallers, billionaire hypocrites”, and “a compliant media addicted to green propaganda”.

Neil concluded his remarks by noting that climate change discussions are marred by green zealots ”constantly resorting to the most extreme predictions of global disaster. They scare the young but they are not backed by science.”

The BBC is just one offender among many, with the same Armageddon stories usually appearing across a variety of outlets. Often these co-ordinated truth-attacks are the work of shadowy, billionaire-funded activist groups such as CC Now, providing free, ready-to-publish copy to support Net Zero. The BBC now has an estimated dozen journalists working full or part-time on the green activist beat and the scale of their output is such that the investigative climate journalist Paul Homewood compiles an annual review of their more egregious howlers.

This year’s favourite has to be the story from the Norfolk village of Happisburgh where “punishing weather linked to climate change” is said to have eroded the soft sand cliff rock. No mention, of course, of the finding of the British Geological Society that it is likely the Norfolk cliffs have been “eroding at the present rate for about the last 5,000 years”. And also in Norfolk we celebrate the appearance of the rare bee-eater bird, an “unmissable sign”, no less, that the climate emergency had reached our shores. Alas for Thermogeddonites, bee-eaters moving a little further north are nothing new. One twitching archive alone listed 80 sightings between 1793 and 1957.

“...it would be completely mad for Ukraine to deliberately kill its own civilians...”

Isn’t this how it all started in the first place though, Mr Rons? Wasn’t Ukraine already ‘completely mad’ because it was killing its own civilians from 2014 onwards? I’m not saying the Russians didn’t blow the dam – who knows, maybe they did to deny the Ukrainians irrigation or to lower morale – but you have to agree that a high degree of madness exists in that failed state and amongst its lowest moments was the deliberate campaign against its ethnic Russian community.

Agree. Makes little sense for the Russians to do this. Given the US 51rst state’s recent activity, it seems more credible that the US proxy is at fault, though in all honesty no one really knows including Ian who seems intent on drinking the propaganda kool aid spooned out by the CIA et al.

In addition to the matters described, a report on Al Jazeera came up with a rough financial guesstimate for the loss of revenue due to reduced export of agricultural products, e.g. wheat. Can’t remember the numbers exactly, but it was in $billions.

I cannot understand the criticisms of this post. It is detailed well argued case. That should be enough by itself to justify taking it seriously.

It is also very convincing. It is incredibly far fetched to suppose Ukraine had a motive but the clincher is that they didn’t have the kit to do it and Ian has shown this in detail. What Ian might have explored more is whether it was approved at the highest level by Russia, whether whoever did it anticipated how awful it would be, or whether it was an accident based on the explosives Russia had in place.

Perhaps you ought to consider why the Ukrainians left the taps turned on full upstream so that the reservoir filled, literally, to overflowing, ensuring maximum pressure on a dam already weakened by previous Uke artillery and missile attacks, and then turned them off once the dam was breached to ensure the reservoir drained as quickly as possible. The Russians certainly had no hand in either action.

I don’t understand – what “taps” are these? In any case the water level was under Russian control as all they had to was open the floodgates a bit more to lower it.

The “taps” are the flow controls on the dam by the Dieper power station in Ukrainian controlled Dnieperpetrovsk. Normally the water flows through the generation turbines, but the Ukrainians gave up making electricity in return for opening their sluice gates to achieve maximum water flow for the first time in living memory. Most normal people would wonder why

Really Ian I can’t be bothered with you anymore after you embarrassed yourself commenting on your last work of fiction, and this doesn’t get any closer to engineering sense, despite your reference to an ex RE, who by looking at his Twitter feed is hardly likely to have a balanced view on Ukrainian issues.

I don’t even know why people try to use their judgment in regard to analysis of such events. There are no standards to assess anything by in a rapidly moving situation and to pretend that you can understand it from an armchair is absurd. As long as you are aware of the the Anglo-American schtick and all that follows from it then you don’t really need to ask any further questions.

I don’t mean to criticise anyone but I do feel that is in a sense unseemly to talk about overseas wars and more than that it is the opposite of what we are fighting for. Believe me in the next six months western support among the general populace will collapse. But unfortunately the Yanks have opened up their big storage sites in the desert and they are taking everything out of storage, thousands of aircraft. This is a huge operaton costing about $1 million dollars per plane and several weeks work. Just be aware that the next stage, an aerial war, won’t be as abstract and faraway as it has been.

All this report needed to say was:

1
the power of explosive device(s) needed for an outside attack was not available to Ukraine and possibly not even the Wedt

2
Russia benefits at least in the short term from the damage. At no stage does it benefit Ukraine.

To be fair Ian (re. James Delingpole “mad” over satanists controlling global weather theory) I actually took issue with a Delingpole theory in the comments of the recent London Calling episode (Town v. Country living), namely that an all meat diet (and certainly an all cooked meat diet) is a good idea as salad and fruit and raw food is genuinely beneficial (together with a proportion of meat/fish/eggs) as part of a balanced diet (see Phillip Day).

I love the sheer comical irony and bathos of the “We don’t come to this explicitly free-speech orientated site to hear views we don’t agree with. Shut up or we’re going to take our money elsewhere’ type comments (and their upticks) on this and similar threads.

Mind you it would be astonishing if those who support the neo-fascist invasion of an independent country for daring to try and maintain multi-party liberal-democratic institutions and values would feel any genuine affinity with the free-speech principles of The Daily Sceptic – as opposed to simply seeing it as a relatively undefended platform to be captured for propagandist purposes.

And again it’s quite funny watching tyranny trying to impose itself over freedom when it doesn’t have any of the usual intimidatory mechanisms (eg gun-totting police and troops) to back it up, just verbal tantrums and attempts at financial blackmail based on tiny amounts of cash.

I’m going with ‘simple-minded’..it’s about the kindest….
let’s face it..to get to that conclusion you have to ignore years of history and politics and precedent…..

Just like a child, boil it down to only good v evil..where you know which is which..and everyone else is wrong and tainted by association..it’s the same argument with the climate..LGB+ etc…as it was with Convid…..if you don’t follow the ‘official propaganda’ you are the enemy..and there is no room for neutrality….

Luckily I truly believe the vast majority of the people in the World see the Western hypocrisy for what it is..along with a good amount of people who actually live in the West.

They have to keep this manufactured good/bad thing going because it’s all they have got..and even they know it’s rubbish….
Lies and pretence take too much time and effort..eventually people see through it…this will be no different…..

It doesn’t sound like Incontrovertible, it sounds like we don’t know but it must have been because we don’t have any evidence. If “it would have been blatantly obvious to the RC-135 Rivet Joint surveillance aircraft operated by the U.S. and the U.K. which are in constant rotation near Ukraine,” surely these spy planes and satalites could have seen where the planes came from and where they went back to. The USA is not above such actions, having a long history of corruption in starting wars and working in the background fanning the flames.

‘Over the past week, much evidence has come to light which puts beyond reasonable doubt the conclusion that Russian forces occupying the Kakhovka Dam were responsible for its destruction…’

With so much ‘incontrovertible’ evidence coming to light, I was rather hoping you were going to share some of it with us.

Instead a lot of speculative waffle about how the Ukrainians couldn’t technically do it, whereas the Russians could.

You would have done better to stop at “for defensive purposes – as in this instance”, Ian! The article up to there is an interesting description of why Ukraine probably did not destroy the dam.

After that, though, you descend into suppositions, speculation and opinions. You state, for example, that it would have been “legitimate under the laws of war” for Ukraine to destroy sluice gates to hamper a Russian retreat, but imply that it is not legitimate for Russia to destroy the dam.

You cite without comment a “signal intercept” released by the SBU (Ukrainian intelligence) as evidence that Ukraine was not responsible.

You state that “the scale of the flooding does seem to have taken Russia by surprise”, without noting that this surely is at least some evidence that Russia was not responsible.

You state that Ukraine did not have a motive “given their adherence to the Geneva Conventions” – even if it were true that they are adhering to those conventions, I am not sure why that would affect whether they had a motive for blowing the dam.

You also state that “it would be completely mad for Ukraine to deliberately kill its own civilians by blowing the dam – citizens that they are in the process of liberating” – this is ridiculous since the same would obviously apply to the Russian side, especially as their own troops were among those affected.

And you say that “The loss of agricultural irrigation both in these regions and in Crimea (which was, in any case, without irrigation between 2014–22) is of little significance to Russia – they have almost no regard for the lives of their troops, and none for Ukrainian civilians.” This is a complete non sequitur – even if it were true that the Russians do not care about the lives of their troops (which I find extremely unlikely to be honest), why would that affect whether they cared about loss of irrigation, especially in Crimea?

You have produced a compelling case that the Russians blew the dam – and then wrecked it with a very silly second half of the article.

You state, for example, that it would have been “legitimate under the laws of war” for Ukraine to destroy sluice gates to hamper a Russian retreat, but imply that it is not legitimate for Russia to destroy the dam.

Increasingly the outflow of water is not the same as destroying a dam, causing a flood affecting civilian areas.

You cite without comment a “signal intercept” released by the SBU (Ukrainian intelligence) as evidence that Ukraine was not responsible.

I said that it was “supposedly between Russian soldiers”, not that it was between Russian soldiers, and I also included a lot of other “chatter” – described as such – which goes toward making a circumstantial case.#

You state that “the scale of the flooding does seem to have taken Russia by surprise”, without noting that this surely is at least some evidence that Russia was not responsible.

I don’t agree that it is evidence of that. There were different forecasts of what would happen if the dam were blown, and it was an inherently uncertain and risky undertaking. “You were only meant to blow the bloody doors off!”, etc.

You state that Ukraine did not have a motive “given their adherence to the Geneva Conventions” – even if it were true that they are adhering to those conventions, I am not sure why that would affect whether they had a motive for blowing the dam.

Ukraine would have to have been crazy not to see the consequences, including from the very self-interested angle of Western support.

You also state that “it would be completely mad for Ukraine to deliberately kill its own civilians by blowing the dam – citizens that they are in the process of liberating” – this is ridiculous since the same would obviously apply to the Russian side, especially as their own troops were among those affected.

Nonsense. Russia is not “liberating” people it calls “kokhols”. You totally misunderstand what’s happening.

And you say that “The loss of agricultural irrigation both in these regions and in Crimea (which was, in any case, without irrigation between 2014–22) is of little significance to Russia – they have almost no regard for the lives of their troops, and none for Ukrainian civilians.” This is a complete non sequitur – even if it were true that the Russians do not care about the lives of their troops (which I find extremely unlikely to be honest), why would that affect whether they cared about loss of irrigation, especially in Crimea?

I don’t think you non sequitur means what you think it means. Perhaps you missed the phrase “…and none for Ukrainian civilians”. Obviously irrigation affects civilians living in Ukraine (which includes Crimea), but they don’t care about them. There are of course some Russians who’ve moved into Crimea, so perhaps I should have said they don’t care about them either.
