Claims Of Wettest Winter Are Fake
MARCH 4, 2024
 
By Paul Homewood

I have come across suggestions that this winter has been the wettest on record. One claim in particular came on GB News on Saturday from Donnachadh McCarthy, the extremist environmentalist, who is often allowed to get away unchallenged with blatant incorrect statements. His claim, he said, came from Met Office data.

He was lying, because it was a long way from being the wettest winter.


He did not say which region he was talking about, but in the UK as a whole, it was only 8th wettest, in England the 6th and in Wales the 8th wettest. (The show discussed the Welsh Govt’s decision to rewild/reforest 20% of farmland ):

Mention was made by McCarthy of a rainfall series going back to the 18thC, so presumably he was talking of the England & Wales series, which also shows 2023/24 as being the 6th wettest:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Not here. We've only had maybe eight inches total snow pack, and some of that melted off before this last flurry. If we don't get a couple of blizzards between now and spring, the fields and pastures will be dry.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
