News Round-Up

The record temperatures yesterday were mainly found at airports. Using a change of wind direction to argue that the climate is undergoing long-term change primarily caused by humans is unscientific nonsense-on-stilts.
The Arctic is warming, but the reasons for that are linked to the rise and fall of decades-long ocean temperature oscillations. There's no sign of the alarmist 'tipping point' pushed by the BBC's Justin Rowlatt.
The international news agency Reuters has 'fact-checked' a recent Daily Sceptic article on the progress of Arctic sea ice and found it “misleading”, despite not being able to point to a single incorrect fact.
Whisper it quietly, but Arctic ice is making a comeback. The coverage is now very close to the 1991-2020 average, well above a 2012 low point and higher than 2020. No sign of an alarmist catastrophe here.
