🌞 Mind-blowing solar data from Vienna that's rarely talked about:
Scientists measured surface solar radiation at the famous Wien Hohe Warte station in Austria.
Since around 1980, there's been a +23 W/m2 increase in sunlight actually reaching the Earth's surface.
For comparison:
The entire radiative forcing from CO2 since 1750 is only about +2.2 W/m2 globally.
That means the extra sunlight from cleaner air (reduced aerosols/pollution) is over 10 times larger than the CO2 forcing we've accumulated over 270+ years.
This is called "solar brightening" as Europe cleaned up its air pollution, more sunlight started hitting the ground. And it lines up with a lot of the warming we've seen.
Data source: GeoSphere Austria long-term pyranometer measurements. The climate system is complex. CO2 matters, but so do changes in actual sunlight reaching us.
So while alarmists scream that the sky is falling… it’s actually letting a lot more sun through. Whoops.

Britain begged the EU to relax import caps so it could import 2.3 GW of emergency power during the record heatwave. Solar output tanked as panels struggled in the heat. That electricity came from coal and gas plants in the Netherlands. What will happen when those plants are closed for good?

@ClimateRealists@grok I think this is some of it, but, we have to accept the world actually is warming, do I think it's due to humans, and CO2, do I eck. Do I think it's a problem, nah. The world has been warmer in its past, humans are the problem thinking they can bend the world to their whims
"When the system keeps failing, eventually you have to conclude it’s the system that’s at fault."
I wrote today in @Telegraph about the repeated horrors in NHS maternity units and what it tells us about the way we run out health service.

A new study has tested the cyclone scare story in the Western North Pacific, the world's most active tropical cyclone basin. If warming were driving more storms, it should show here. But it doesn't.
The study examined satellite data from 1980 to 2023. It found that cyclone frequency declined by 0.9 storms per decade, with landfall trends insignificant for every country and region analyzed.
The study also tested accumulated cyclone energy, or ACE, which measures storm strength and duration. It found that over land, ACE was basically flat. While across the full basin, ACE actually trended down by 7.6 units per decade.
The data shows fewer cyclones.
No rise in landfalls.
No rise in cyclone energy.
This is not the 'catastrophe story' sold to the public.
Hot Hot Hot?
Facts from @Telegraph
The current UK record for the month of June stands at: 35.6C
in Camden Square London in.....1957
in Southampton in ......1976
Europe’s deadliest heatwaves are almost always caused by "Omega Blocks" an atmospheric pattern named after the Greek letter Ω.
A ridge of high pressure sits over one region, flanked by two low-pressure systems, creating a horseshoe-shaped kink in the jet stream. The result is a heat dome: a “lid” of high pressure trapping hot air near the surface.
The summer of 2003, the hottest European summer since at least 1540, was driven by one.
Cleaner air has reduced the cooling effect once provided by some forms of pollution.
The summer of 1540 is widely documented as one of the most severe climatic anomalies in European history. Spanning an 11-month megadrought, vast regions from France to Poland experienced record heatwaves that surpassed modern averages by up to 7°C.

ANDY BURNHAM: FRAUDSTER?
Mr Burnham didn’t Leave Manchester.
Mr Burnham FLED Manchester
There are Two Very Suspicious Arrangements Burnham is Involved in:
1/ His Dealings with his friend, the Manchester Property Developer, Daren Whitaker, who received nearly £800 Million from Greater Manchester while Burnham headed the Finance Committee.
Whitaker refused to Build the Affordable Housing agreed in the Contract, building Skyscrapers and Luxury Apartments.
Whitaker took £40 Million in Personal Dividends and Decamped to the Tax Haven Monaco.
This would be Illegal.
Unless the Chairman of the Finance Committee agreed to the Dividend.
Mr Burnham had to agree.
But now refuses to discuss the matter.
OR RELEASE THE OFFICIAL MINUTES.
Is Andy Burnham Corrupt??
He is about to become the PRIME MINISTER OF GREAT BRITAIN.
I Think It’s Time We Find Out Before The Coronation.
2/ Burnham’s dealings with his Wife.
Although She Never Took His Name.
Confused? Me Too…
“Marie-France van Heel, she is a director of Be.EV & Iduna Infrastructure, she is also Chief Marketing and Customer Officer for Octopus Energy.
In these rolls she secured a contract to supply EV infrastructure and energy to Greater Manchester Combined Authority, the famous “Bus” project the now ex mayor of Manchester boasts about. The only matter Andy B fails to boast about is the lady who got the contracts is, in fact.
MR BURNHAM’S WIFE…
For the UK Media now kissing Burnham’s Ring and the Labour Party members hoping to get the Cabinet positions they crave:
BURNHAM IS A SAINT
BUT THE REALITY SEEMS VERY, VERY DIFFERENT
Perhaps @KemiBadenoch and @RupertLowe10 Should Take a Look.
TODAY…
The immediate driver is high pressure (not CO2). The local amplifier is land use (not CO2).

For several weeks now, a significantly colder-than-average air mass has been present over Antarctica. 🧐🥶 In the coming days, temperatures there are expected to remain more than 20 °C / 40 °F below the long-term average (see the video). This mass of Antarctic air is concentrated mainly over the continent, where it has persisted for an extended period. In recent days, some of this cold air has also spread into South America, bringing below-average winter temperatures there as well: https://t.co/O9fX492xUz

🚨 NEW: A Labour source says Andy Burnham is a “snivelling little rat”
“Burnham would rather bring down the Government than launch a challenge… Snivelling little rat, always has been. It’s why he’s lost two leadership elections”

In 2016, Del Bigtree convinced a top infectious disease doctor to do something public health has avoided for decades: conduct a study comparing the health outcomes of vaxxed vs. unvaxxed children.
Dr. Marcus Zervos vowed to publish the results no matter what.
The results were devastating for the vaccinated, and Dr. Zervos ultimately chose not to publish the study.
When confronted about it, he said bluntly: “Publishing something like that, I might as well retire. I’d be finished.”
Here’s what the study revealed:
• Vaccinated children were 4.29 times more likely to have asthma.
• Three times higher risk for atopic diseases (like eczema).
• Nearly six times higher risk for autoimmune disorders, a category that includes more than 80 different diseases.
• 5.5 times higher risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.
• 2.9 times more motor disabilities.
• 4.5 times more speech disorders.
• Three times more developmental delays.
• Six times more acute and chronic ear infections.
• Among nearly 2,000 unvaccinated children, there were zero cases of ADHD, diabetes, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, tics, or other psychological disorders.
The study’s conclusion was equally striking. It states: “[I]n contrast to our expectations, we found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an overall 2.5-fold INCREASE in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition when compared to children unexposed to vaccination.”
When science uncovers an inconvenient result, it often gets buried, or the data is twisted until it produces the outcome “The Science” wants.
How do you think Vioxx, a migraine and arthritis pain drug, made it to market?
An estimated 100,000 people died before the manufacturer (Merck) finally decided it was too dangerous to keep prescribing.
And Vioxx wasn’t an isolated case.
Roughly 1 in 3 drugs approved by the FDA get pulled or receive a major safety warning LONG AFTER they get prescribed to millions of people.
If Vioxx could be approved without the danger being flagged during trials, what else is on the market today that people assume is safe?
Perhaps the most important question is: how do they get away with rigging these trials in the first place? 🧵
@robinmonotti What are your thoughts on modern thermometers causing some of the increased readings? Shorter time to reach max temperature rather than the lag of mercury style thermometers?
