David Tvildiani Medical University (DTMU) is one of the best option you can go for.As a graduate from David Tvildiani Medical University I strongly advice you to join here and I will share important details regarding DTMU. Hope you find it useful!I graduated from DTMU and now working in SSH hospital in Delhi.Before I go in to details I want to clarify few wrong information about DTMU mentioned by some people here and I guess they are of some recruitment agencies! Lets clear the idea of private university, USMLE training, MCI passing rate, University ranking and if DTMU is bad university first!Its true that very often agencies lie about other universities in order to promote the universities they have contract with.There are many medical universities in Georgia, most of them were new and opened in wake of profit from foreign students especially Indian students. Its the case with so called “Government universities too” who never had medical faculty in English except in recent 4–5 years (Except Tbilisi State medical University. Here are few details about my university where I graduated from “ David Tvildiani Medical University”.David Tvildiani Medical university is a private medical university founded in 1989 , by group of elite doctors, scientists and physicians of Georgia for the reason that Medical education and medical care in Georgia were in ruins and there was no one institution that can provide standard medical education in Georgia. The purpose of the university was to provide medical education and send them to United states for better medical training. So that Georgia can produce highly skilled doctors. In order to achieve that, university developed medical curriculum based on curriculum in United States and to help students to pass USMLE exams. They implemented the program from the beginning of the university. It was the first institution in Georgia which provided medical education in English and with standards of United States. Because of that university was able to send hundreds of their graduate to United States for residency program. This can be appreciated with the statistical data of students who cleared USMLE. On average 60% of students from every batch has passed USMLE Step 1 and 2 (from every batch graduated from university) compared with 2 percent from all other Medical universities combined. In my class we were 12 and out of 12, eight have cleared USMLE step 1 and 2. That’s actually incredible feat only if you understand how difficult the USMLE exams are!Is DTMU really worst? How can someone even say that ? In terms of Medical education in Georgia they are the best in Georgia beyond doubt. Most of the doctors in Georgia send their Children to DTMU, including doctors residing in US. Current Minister of Health and Labour of Georgia Dr Sergenke was our teacher in third year and his both daughters got graduated from our university this year. Also wife of former president of Georgia studied from our university and graduated from DTMU. Next best university will be of course TSMU. after seeing success of our University, many university are following our footsteps including TSMU. but many other are just very useless in terms of actual Medical education.Does DTMU really ranks 25? This is another silly tool used by many agencies to misguide students. To understand this , we need to understand the basis of ranking. The ranking of universities are based on number of publications they produce each year, which mean the university with most PhD program will publish more papers will be ranked high. In that sense Ilia State University and Ivan Javakashvili Universities are at the top because they have more publications but non medical publications. Because they are elite institution in Georgia for non medical subjects such as Physics, Mathematics, Economics, Engineering etc. But they are the worst for Medical Education (yet they top the rankings). DTMU despite being Institution for undergraduate medical education for very long they have many publications and now they have introduced Phd programs, residency programs, Public health and Nursing school. Aslo the number of students admitted in university is very limited unlike other universities in Georgia who is admitted 300- 400 every year beyond their capacity just for financial gain.Its funny to note how you compare USMLE with ECTS. This tells how little knowledge many here have regarding medical education. USMLE is exam for medical residency program in United States. Any medical student/graduate can give that exam irrespective of institution or country. But what matters is how many can pass all exams of USMLE and get medical residency programs in United States. University is providing free USMLE coaching for all students from the beginning of the university from the first year of medical school and that’s the reason 60–70 percent of our university students were able to pass all steps of USMLE and doing residency in United states. along with that the curriculum is based on US medical schools and this further facilitate students to prepare well for USMLE. Some universities are following this pattern from 2010 (esp TSMU) which DTMU is doing from 1989 (and call it as US MD :D - for which they charge 12000 USD per year)DTMU recognition:DTMU is approved/recognized by MCI (without MCI approval you will not be getting eligibility certificate and I wont be practising in India), WHO, Ministry of Health of Georgia, ministry of education of Georgia and other international organisations. That's the reason why more than 50% of students from each batch in DTMU are working in United States and cleared all three steps of USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Examinations). son/duaghter of elite doctors in Georgia are studying in DTMU and even two daughters of present Minister of Health in Georgia are studying in DTMU.DTMU Study Process:Studying in DTMU is an intense process and the intensity will be no different from medical colleges of India. In contrast to other foreign universities (other universities of Georgia, Ukraine, Russia, China, Philippines and so on) student will not be having too much of free time. Its because Medicine itself is intense and vast and its very difficult for a medical student to have free time if he or she is indeed studying medicine.Study period in DTMU is 6 years. It is divided in to three parts.1st 2.5 years is of Basic Medical Science, 2nd 2.5 years is of clinical medical science and final year is of Internship. The education process is entirely based on US medical curriculum and based on standard text booked used in US. this helps the student to enter US post graduate programs and training comparatively easy.In the first 2.5 years you will be completing all basic medical science subjects which includes Genetics, Molecular Biology, Bio Chemistry, Embryology, Histology, Anatomy, Neuro-Anatomy, Immunology, Microbiology, Physiology, Pathology, Pharmacology, Patient history taking and physical examination, clinical investigations, differential diagnosis and clinical management.This 2.5 years of basic medical science is deemed to the most difficult part in medical education. Most student tend to complain during this period about the difficulty. Its because the subjects are entirely different from what they have learned in school, higher lever and of increased intensity. This 2.5 years are the most crucial as it lays the foundation for your whole medical carrier. Who ever makes better of these 2.5 years will have comparatively easier clinical science period and will have greater chance of clearing any competitive medical exams with better score and also will be able to understand all clinical science better.Each year, there are two semester. Student have to pass each semester. The marks in each subject consist of two parts. They are 1. Pre-Quiz points (60 marks) and 2. Quiz points (40 marks)Pre-quiz points consists of various components which includes marks for attendance, marks of daily class activity- which include presentation of daily subjects and their performance on class tests, and viva. Normally if a student attends classes every day and perform normally they manage to score around 50-58 pre-quiz points. Once the student has adequate pre-quiz points, they will be eligible for quiz. If a student misses more than 10% of attendance in a subject, the student must recover the missed part to be eligible for the quiz.Quiz will be conducted once two are three subjects are completed. Quiz will have questions from those completed subjects. Quiz consists of multiple choice questions in which student have to choose the best option. It contains average of 180-260 questions depending on the subjects. Student has to score minimum 51% marks in the quiz to pass the subject even if the student has prequiz points more than 50. If a student score 100% in quiz it will be converted to 40 points. If he or she scores 50% in the quiz they will get 20 points.These two (pre quiz and quiz) will add up to 100% in each subject. If a student fail in some subject, viva, or quiz- they will be given one more chance to pass at the end of each semester.Out of that 2.5 years, the first year will be the most difficult one student gets familiar with pace of study, terminologies and new materials.First year consists of important subjects such as Biochemistry, anatomy, neuro anatomy, Histology, Immunology, microbiology etc which will be the basis for next one and half year. Once student finishes first year, they will start organ based system from second year starting from cardiovascular system.In each system, there will be multiple subjects, For example while studying cardiovascular system you will have cardiovascular embryology, cardiac anatomy, cardiac histology, cardiac physiology, cardiac pathology, cardiac pharmacology and so on. At the end of each organ system, there will be quiz on that. Each semester will have average of 2-3 organ systems.First Filter:After finishing 2.5 years of basic medical science, the student will be encountered with first major exam of all medicine called filter exams (Basic medical science filter exam). This will be of two days and contains average of 760 questions from subjects the student had for last 2.5 years. the student is obliged to pass all subjects. If any one fail in that filter exam they will be provided with one more opportunity to pass it before the start of clinical science. The major significance of first filter is that it is equivalent to USMLE step 1 and the one who passes with 85% and above can be sure of clearing Step 1 of USMLE. (Which I have explained later)In the second 2.5 years, we will be starting clinical medical science which will be conducted in various hospitals of our university specialised for each department. Everything will be same like the fir two and half years having daily attendance, class activity, viva, pre quiz points and quiz. After finishing each subject student will have quiz for example at the Nephrology or Gastroenterology or Surgery etc.This phase will be easier if t had good basic medical education during first 2 and half years. At the end of 5 years (2.5 years of clinical medical science) the student will be facing second major exam in medical science called second filter or Clinical Filter.Second Filter:Like the first filter exam second filter exam too is two day process with approximately 760 question. this will check the knowledge of student in clinical medical subjects studied during 2.5 years. on passing the second filter student will move to final year which is internship.If a student secure more than 85% can be confident of passing of Step 2 CK of USMLE, as the pattern of question will be like that of USMLE Step 2 CK.Internship (6th Year):In the final year student will be completing the internship or clinical rotations. There are various options for DTMU students depending on their credentials and transcript.1. The general option which many student opt is doing their clinical rotation in hospitals in Georgia and at the end of the 6 th year they will be awarded the degree by the University. After completion they can come to india and pass FMG eligibility screening test and practise in India.2. Student can also give FMG eligibility screening test at the end of 5 th year after passing the second filter exam. Upon passing the screening test student can do their clinical rotation in MCI approved hospitals in India as per regulation using provisional certificates. upon completing the internship, the student will be graduating medicine. (this saves one year for the graduates)3. Student can opt to do their rotations in university hospitals of partner universities in Lithuania, Germany or in Turkey4. If he or she passes USMLE step 1 before the end of 5 th year with good scores will have an opportunity to do their clinical rotation in approved hospitals in United States. This will follow the standard procedure as student will have to apply through university. This will follow the rules and regulations of ECFMG and rotations will be only done in accredited hospitals. Majority of our students have completed their Clerkship in Mayo clinic, Cleveland clinic, Michigan State Medical university, Yale Medicine or Emory Medical school.This is very crucial for the student who are looking for opportunities in US, as at the end of the clerkship they will get Letter of recommendations from respective program directors from those reputed hospitals. This is vital inclusion criteria for foreign medical graduates trying to enter post graduate education in United States.Along with this there is also some program called PBL- problem based learning. In this programs the student will be given cases every week from second year which corresponds to their curriculum- helping the student to study the patient along with anatomy, physiology, pathology, treatment and management. This program is optional for students and this require more effort. And student who will in this will be earning more credits too. In india only AIIMS and JIPMER has such programs at undergraduate level.As per USMLE it consists of three steps. To get admitted in US PG programs, one has to pass Step 1 and 2. Step 3 is usually passed during PG.Once both Step and Step 2 is cleared you will be given ECFMG certificate- which is used to apply for those PG programs.USMLE step 1 is based on basic medical subjects. Most difficult of all three steps is Step 1. After passing step 1, student usually do the clinical clerkship in US. That is the reason why we have Basic Filter in DTMU.In normal cases 60-90% of out DTMU students passes USMLE Step 1 during their 3rd or 4th year.After passing USMLE Step 1, we need to prepare for Step 2. Step 2 has two parts. CK- Clinical knowledge (consists of multiple choice clinical questions) and CS- Clinical Skills where student will be give 12 -15 patients.CS is help only is US at 5 selected centres.During their 5th and 6th year DTMU student passes both part of USMLE Step 2. So that upon graduation they will be getting certified by ECFMG and will be able to join PG programs in US (which is also called medical residency program).Those medical students who finishes their PG or residency in US do not have to pass any exams to practise in most countries in the world including India.What's there in DTMU? And MCI screening test!DTMU was established for only one purpose, that is send Georgian students to US for PG programs so that the country can get best trained physicians and surgeons.And the University has achieved outstanding results that more than 42% of their graduates are working in leading hospitals across US also more 80% of their students have successfully passed USMLE.DTMU provide hostel facility for foreign students inside the campus, which is managed by DTMU itself with separate hostels for boys and girls. There are 4/3/2 persons per room options available and also provided with Indian food cooked by Indian chef. All breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided.Along with that hostel has 24/7 library facility to provide right atmosphere for the student.There are extra classes in the evening separate for USMLE and MCI from second and third year. Student who wishes to attend are free to attend which is actually free of cost. Every year mock exams of USMLE and MCI are conducted and the student who ever qualifies those mock exams- university will pay the expenses of USMLE and MCI screening test.The student who come 1st, 2nd, 3rd each year will be exempted from tuition fee of 100%, 50% and 25% respectively.University also has a scientific association, called SYSSA- which will provide opportunities to present and attend international and national conferences.Each class have maximum of 12-25 students which helps them to get better of each student. at the end of each semester the classes are shuffled where students are placed in different groups based on their performances. This is in order to provide more attention to students who needed the most.No student has failed MCI screening test yet from DTMUAlmost 80-90% of students have passed USMLE (in a class of 12 atleast 8 have cleared USMLE)More than 300 students have passed USMLE where our total graduates are 500 plus. If we compare the results with other prominent universities in Georgia like Tbilisi State Medical University where every year almost 600-800 graduates have not more than 100 students who passed USMLE in total.All universities are trying to copy a system which is already in place in DTMU, in order to achieve some results.On an average 200 Indian students are graduating from Georgia esp Tbilisi state Medical University and not more than 20 are able to pass MCI screening test each year.Medical education in general is not an easy process. It need hard work, dedication and time on continuous basis. On daily basis you will reading books one after another, will be practising question after questions which not to score 100% but to get bare minimum to get on to next step. Its same in India. If you ask any medical student in Indian medical colleges they will tell you how much do they work hard. They rarely find time to sleep or eat food.But the case with foreign medical universities are that the students have all free time and the medical education is comparatively very easy for them. Its because they rarely read any actual medical books. In some universities you will have the question papers even a year before your actual exams. That is the reason why these foreign medical graduates boasts to have 90-100% marks in all subjects.But after finishing their 6 years in other counties they have to pass MCI Screening test. You have to score minimum of 50% to pass the screening test. But majority of these foreign graduates fail in MCI screening test and they go for coaching centres in Delhi - mainly MIST and DAMS. They continue to prepare year after year. To understand the significance only 15-20% of foreign Medical graduates are able to pass MCI screening test every year.Last year Dec 2016, only 4% of the students who gave MCI screening test actually pass them.It doesn't mean that MCI screening test is hard, rather it is the easiest exam in whole of Medicine. Its not even 20% as difficult of that NEET PG.What it mean is, it is rather very easy to get admission in Medical universities abroad, but finding a right university is indeed very very hard. I am saying this from my personal experience.Is Medicine -easy ride!?I am no way to discourage you. Often times we tend to think that after getting in to medical school life is going to be wonderful. But in truth its the opposite. Medicine is very long process lasting from 5.5 to 6 years. Its often very difficult in first sight and need consistent hard work and repetition. You will feel as you never finished school at all or even you back to school. there will be time constraint,peer pressure and so on. Some subjects will be very interesting and some subjects will be very boring. Some times you will count hours to go back to bed. some time you are sad/depressed. you tend to blame everything from weather to water to god for having medicine at all. But this is all normal. When you go to hospital you feel like you are gonna save lives everyday- but these damn consultants wont let to deal any serious case.whatever the case- there is real joy and excitement for those who are in medicine for that passion. the moment you see rare cases- you cannot explain how joyful you will be. The moment you get the diagnosis right, the moment the patient thank you, the moment when get a patient and you actually save his/her life - that is real reward for your 6 years of hardship.For foreign medical graduates, the actual joy begins the moment you pass MCI screening test. That will be actual fruit you can give it to your parents, who put their trust, money, effort, patience on you.I am not able to guarantee many things in DTMU- but for sure, if you follow the programs, if you pass the exams and quiz in DTMU, you will be able to clear and pass MCI screening test or any other exams in the world for sure (even without joining any coaching)It is really hard to trust anything for sure- because almost description of every university and explanation from every agent sounds the same. What ever the case, you can gamble your trust with DTMU esp with education if not others.I personally do not endorse any agents, but definitely advice DTMU as good choice for medical education and as top choice if you are choosing Georgia.Expenses:i don't know the agencies and their charges. but here i am going to give rough estimate of expenses in University.Fee every year: 6000$from second year 6000$ can be paid in two instalments- before the start of each semester.Hostel fee (4 in one room) will cost 200$ per month including food and bills. They expect you to pay 6 months at least together.every year, you need to renew your residence permit which will cost around 100$And flight tickets- which depends on airways, season and class.Well you can expect to spend at least 50$ every month and of course there are few who spend nothing at all and i have no comments about them.With these busy study schedule and work load, its good to have some good times on Sundays like shopping or trying some good restaurant or movies.Because after all the hard work and hours of reading you need to reward yourself every now and then- at least once a month. And often times i find it difficult to resist the temptation from ads of Wendy's or Baskin robbins or Mc Donalds or KFC or even simple sahwarma. So treat yourself sometimes. Well that is my personal note! Don't think I am advising some thing bad.Weather is one of the wonderful thing you will find in Georgia, and you will be enjoying all four seasons. Life is pretty much in that country except your study part. No ragging or seniority can be seen in campus and almost no crime in the country- as Georgia is counted as 6th safest in the world and almost 100% corruption free. Being said that I am not asking to stay out in midnight or go alone outside!You will be provided with health insurance by university so that's taken care of! As insurance is mandatory.You will be assisted in opening a bank account to which parents can transfer money if needed.What to read:Anatomy:1.K. Moore. Clinically Oriented Anatomy. (main)2.

Mother Nature is the answer with at least 100 driving forces either positive or negative. In many cases connecting severe weather like the recent California drought with climate change will become embarrassing when the weather changes in the opposite direction.If we fail to look at data on the issue of severe weather we fool ourselves about what is happening. The data says no big deal it is normal as the earth’s climate is chaotic, non-linear and unpredictable. There is evidence showing that during cooling like the Little Ice Age severe weather increased.In 1974 climatologists blamed extreme weather on “Global Cooling”.The panic was so real during the “Global Cooling” scare of the 1970’s that UN scientists wanted to melt the Arctic by spreading black soot on it!The science of severe weather is not settled.Warming fears are the “worst scientific scandal in the history…When people come toknow what the truth is, they will feel deceived by science and scientists.” – UN IPCCJapanese Scientist Dr. Kiminori Itoh, an award-winning PhD environmental physical chemist.“It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe ofscientists who don’t buy into anthropogenic global warming.” – U.S GovernmentAtmospheric Scientist Stanley B. Goldenberg of the Hurricane Research Division ofNOAA.“I am a skeptic…Global warming has become a new religion.” – Nobel Prize Winner forPhysics, Ivar Giaever.https://climatism.blog/2018/08/08/hot-tip-man-made-climate-change-is-a-scam/It is surely unscientific to connect the daily extremes of weather seen outside your window with climate change. By definition climate change only happens over centuries or millions of years. Sadly the severe weather meme is just propaganda and an attack on the scientific method as shown in this chart.Interview by http://SCOTT.NETGerman Professor: IPCC in a serious jam... "5AR likely to be last of its kind" -- Sott.netProf. Fritz VahrenholtAnd: "Extreme weather is the only card they have got left to play."So says German Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt, who is one of the founders of Germany's modern environmental movement, and agreed to an interview with NoTricksZone. He is one of the co-authors of the German skeptic book "Die kalte Sonne", which took Germany by storm last year and is now available at bookstores worldwide in English under the title: The Neglected Sun.In Germany Prof. Vahrenholt has had to endure a lot heat from the media, activists, and climate scientists for having expressed a different view. But as global temperatures remain stagnant and CO2 climate sensitivity is being scaled back, he feels vindicated.NTZ: Has the weather become more extreme? Why are we getting bombarded by scary reports from the media - even after a normal thunderstorm with hail?FV: Extreme weather is the only card they have left to play. We see that Arctic sea ice extent is the highest since 2007. At the South Pole sea ice is at the highest extent in a very long time, hurricanes have not become more frequent, the same is true with tornadoes, sea level is rising at 2-3 mm per year and there's been no change in the rate, and global temperature has been stagnant for 15 years. Indeed we are exposed to bad weather. And when one is presented with a simplistic explanation, i.e. it's man's fault, it gladly gets accepted. CO2 does have a warming effect on the planet. However, this effect has been greatly exaggerated. The climate impact of CO2 is less than the half of what the climate alarmists claim. That's why in our book, The Neglected Sun, we are saying there is not going to be any climate catastrophe.POLAR VORTEX IS NOT CAUSED BY GLOBAL WARMING???First a brief critique of the bizarre claim that the wavy jet stream or Polar Vortex or Arctic winter from Canada is caused by global warming. This truly is magical and a new chapter of Climate Change by Alice in Wonderland.This is the realm of absurdity.Yes the earth is cooling and we are not to blame.Cold outbreaks are not caused by global warmingGuest Blogger / 44 mins ago February 19, 2019Global cooling – and global totalitarian socialism – are the catastrophes we should fear mostDr. Jay Lehr and Tom HarrisWhat do heat waves, floods, droughts, rising sea levels, forest fires, hurricanes, African wars, mass extinctions, disease outbreaks, and human and animal migrations from South America and the Middle East have in common?According to climate activists, they are all caused by dangerous man-made global warming. And this, in turn, is supposedly caused by rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels resulting from our use of fossil fuels.They might as well add alien invasions to the list, because it is all nonsense. Indeed, the climate scare industry has achieved such a level of absurdity that, on February 1, journalist Andrew Revkin reported in a National Geographic article that, “Many stories in recent days highlighted studies concluding that global warming is boosting the odds of cold [weather] outbreaks.”(As we delve into the realm of absurdity, however, let us not forget that, in 2011, scientists from NASA’s Planetary Science Division and Michael Mann’s Penn State University actually presented a report speculating that extraterrestrial environmentalists could be so appalled by our planet-polluting, climate-changing ways that they could view humans as a threat to the entire intergalactic ecosystem and decide to destroy humanity!)Among the most absurd of recent climate alarm statements is the one attributing recent coldspells to manmade global warming came from University of Michigan professor emeritus of environment and sustainability Donald Scavia, who said: “In the past there was a very strong gradient of cold air at the poles and warmer air south of the poles. That gradient kept the cold where it is…. As the poles are warming faster than the rest of the planet, that gradient weakens, allowing the cold air currents to dip south.”Dr. Tim Ball, an environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg in Manitoba, said that Scavia’s statement “is utter rubbish.” Ball explained, “It’s wrong in every aspect, from the basic assumption to the interpretation. In fact, a gradient makes things move. It doesn’t ‘keep the cold where it is.’”It’s also a mistake to think that, if human-produced CO2 is actually causing global warming, the poles will warm first. “There is no evidence of that; they just are assuming it to be the case,” Dr. Ball emphasized.And, if the poles did warm first, Ball explained, the reduced temperature difference between the poles and lower latitude regions would reduce extreme weather events, not intensify them, as climate campaigners claim. After all, weather and extreme weather events are driven by the temperature gradient between latitudes. A warming Arctic would result in lessintense cold outbreaks and a lesser intrusion of cold artic air colliding with warm moist air in warmer regions. Climate alarmists have their science backwards.Ball noted that the real cause of the severe cold outbreaks in the United States is a wavy Jet Stream.The Jet Stream is a thin band of strong winds that flow rapidly around the planet from west to east at approximately 10 km altitude. The Jet Stream divides warm air masses, typically found at low latitudes towards the tropics, from cold air masses, usually found at high latitudes near the poles.However, a very wavy jet stream, as we are experiencing now (and have many times in the past), allows frigid Arctic air to move south to normally warmer latitudes and warm tropical air to push into Polar latitudes. The result is an increase in extreme weather events, including the cold outbreaks in the USA. It has nothing to do with global warming. In fact, the most common cause of a wavy Jet Stream is global cooling. History shows that severe weather increases with a cooling world, not a warming one.As to fears of more cold outbreaks due to global warming, Ball laughed, “They’re making it all up!”….Cold outbreaks are not caused by global warmingNext is a detailed of analysis by Jamie Spry at CLIMATISM of all major weather types debunking the Alarmism scare mongering.THE Great “Extreme Weather” Climate Change Propaganda ConPosted: February 22, 2017 | Author: Jamie Spry | Filed under: Alarmism Debunked,The “Extreme Weather” meme has earned its place in climate change history as the fundamental driver of climate scaremongering, used deceptively and effectively to promote the catastrophic man-made climate change theory by instilling fear, doom and gloom directly into the human psyche through simple imagery and repetitive correlation rhetoric.Even though “weather” is not climate, the daily bombardment via news and multi-media of climatic disaster clips provide more than enough evidence for the casual observer to convince them that the climate is in fact changing as a direct result of human CO2 emissions.Much of the mainstream media gleefully encourages and promotes the catastrophic man-made warming narrative. Hence, sensationalising a typhoon in the Phillipines or a forest fire in California has become fair-game in the virtuous and IMHO nefarious push to enhance the supposed human CO2-induced climate catastrophe.However, when you look at hard data and scientific evidence pertaining to extreme weather through the lens of “Government data” and “Peer-Reviewed Science”, as opposed to scary pictures and videos, absorbed via billions of iPhones and hysterical climate-obsessed mainstream media, things are not quite as bad as they seem. In fact, by most metrics, extreme weather events are becoming ‘less’ extreme as CO2 increases. This should come as relieving news to all, though sadly, yet predictably, such data will come as extremely inconvenient news to the virtuous “Save The Planet” lobby and especially those invested in the trillion dollarglobal warming climate change industry that feeds and thrives off doomsday scenarios.*Below are listed the more common metrics associated with the much maligned and deceptively ascribed “extreme weather” meme. A term which I would label as a very clever weapon of mass climate propaganda to elevate hysteria, emotions and fear with the ultimate end to mould groupthink belief in human CO2-induced climate change…HURRICANESThe US is currently experiencing a record 12 year (4,380 days) drought of major landfall hurricanes (Cat3+). The last major hurricane to hit was “Wilma” in 2005:The major hurricane drought for Category 3 or greater storms continues. Updated December 2016 by Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. (via WUWT)Interesting historical reference point:NOAA keeps hurricane records back to 1850. The average number of US hurricane strikes per presidency is about eleven. Obama’s presidency had five hurricane strikes, the last being “Matthew” (Cat 1 at landfall, October 8,2016).Grover Cleveland (1885 – 1889 & 1893 – 1897) and Franklin D Roosevelt (1933 – 1945) both presided over 26 hurricanes, almost six times as many as Obama:The presidency of Barack Obama had the lowest frequency of US hurricane strikes of any president:Charts via Steve S Goddard – Only updated to 2014NOAA – Chronological List of All HurricanesDuring Obama’s presidency, atmospheric CO2 levels were between 384-400 ppm.

One of the more classic instances of such fear-mongering, gone horribly wrong, was that by Dr David Viner – esteemed climatologist from the UK’s CRU, in 2000.From the Independent’s most cited article: Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past by Charles Onians:However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.As many as 97% of climate scientist went along with the prediction of moderate winters lacking snow.Also of course the world continues to suffer brutal winters with massive snowfall. Mother nature has rebutted the alarmists with aplomb.“First the snow disappears, and then winter.”DietZeitA good example of climate predictions gone awry is in the area of snow.“97%” of venerated ‘scientific’ institutions in concert with the warmist mainstream media were predicting the end of snow…In the beginning the alarmist scientists and politicians like Al Gore and Barack Obama predicted moderate winters without snow.IN 2000, climate expert Dr David Viner of the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit(CRU) assured us that :Snowfall will become “A very rare and exciting event…Children just aren’t going to know what snow is.”Dr David Viner – Senior scientist, climatic research unit (CRU)SNOWFALL Will Become “A Very Rare And Exciting Event…” | ClimatismSnowfalls are now just a thing of the past – The Independent (PDF)IPCC Third Assessment Report – Climate Change 2001 – Complete online versions | GRID-Arendal – Publications – OtherIPCC – Intergovernmental Panel on Climate ChangeThe (warmist) CSIRO jumped on the “end of snow” bandwagon in August 2003:Simulations of future snow conditions in the Australian alpine regions were prepared for the years 2020 and 2050…Conclusion:The low impact scenario for 2020 has a minor impact on snow conditions. Average season lengths are reduced by around five days. Reductions in peak depths are usually less than 10%, but can be larger at lower sites (e.g. Mt Baw Baw and Wellington High Plains).The high impact scenario for 2020 leads to reductions of 30-40 days in average season lengths. At higher sites such as Mt Hotham, this can represent reductions in season duration of about 25%, but at lower sites such as Mt Baw Baw the reduction can be more significant (up to 60%)…We have very high confidence (at least 95%) that the low impact scenarios will be exceeded and the high impact scenarios will not be exceeded.In 2014, the New York Times signalled “The End of Snow”:The End of Snow? – NYTimes.comWRONG MORE WINTER SNOW IS THE REAL WORLDTourists flock to see 52 feet of fresh snow in Japanese Mountains.Brutal record cold winter in Chicago in Feb. 2019.Why is there more bad winter weather year after year? Two major reasons are the decline in solar sunspots ‘activity and the increase in solar albedo.As the simple graph shows snow reflects 85% of sunlight back into space making the climate cooler whereas land without snow or ice absorbs most of the heat 80- 90%.This snow albedo means that as the snowfall increases the temperature decreases. It can be a continuous loop that would without doubt deny the alarmist’s claim of a too hot climate.To realize how significant the snow albedo is on temperature look at this research about the snowball earth.Effect of land albedo, CO2, orography, and oceanic heat transport on extreme climatesV.

Past Discuss.: 7 December 2005 Revised: 2 June 2006 – Accepted: 2 June 2006 – Published: 30 June 2006Abstract. Using an atmospheric general circulation model of intermediate complexity coupled to a sea ice – slab ocean model, we perform a number of sensitivity experiments under present-day orbital conditions and geographical distribution to assess the possibility that land albedo, atmospheric CO2, orography and oceanic heat transport may cause an ice covered Earth. Changing only one boundary or initial condition, the model produces solutions with at least some ice free oceans in the low latitudes. Using some combination of these forcing parameters, a full Earth’s glaciation is obtained. We find that the most significant factor leading to an ice-covered Earth is the high land albedo in combination with initial temperatures set equal to the freezing point. Oceanic heat transport and orography play only a minor role for the climate state. Extremely low concentrations of CO2 also appear to be insufficient to provoke a runaway ice-albedo feedback, but the strong deviations in surface air temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere point to the existence of a strong nonlinearity in the system. Finally, we argue that the initial condition determines whether the system can go into a completely ice covered state, indicating multiple equilibria, a feature known from simple energy balance models.https://www.clim-past.net/2/31/2006/cp-2-31-2006.pdfThere is nothing more devastating than to see climate history repeated with, ‘an ice covered earth.’SNOWBALL EARTHAn extreme ice age hit the planet around 717 million years ago. Known as the Sturtian glaciation, this event is more informally dubbed "Snowball Earth" and it's thought to be the most extreme, and long-lasting, ice age the planet ever experienced. For around 50 million years, the entire globe was essentially covered in ice.https://newatlas.com/rise-of-algae-snowball-earth-animal-evolution/50934/#galleryBACK TO THE REAL WORLD2017 Northern Hemisphere snow cover extent was amongst the highest on record last month:Rutgers University Climate Lab :: Global Snow LabWinter Northern Hemisphere snow extent is trending upwards, despite rising CO2 emissions:Rutgers University Climate Lab :: Global Snow LabSNOW EXTENT UPDATE 2017January snow extent update… 10th highest on record.“Global Warming”?Again, as CO2 has increased, NH Snow extent has increased :Rutgers University Climate Lab :: Global Snow LabAnd for Australia’s CSIRO who assured the end of snow by 2020/2030…Heavy snow forecast for the Australian Alps despite ski season ending a month agoAustralia’s snowfields have been overdosed by snow over the past 5+ years.“DISAPPEARING” SNOW UPDATE – August 8, 2017Emergency services warn of avalanches in Victoria’s alpine regionTHE “Blizzard Of Oz” That Wasn’t Meant To Be | Climatism*FLOODS / DROUGHT“So even the rain that falls isn’t actually going to fill our dams and our river systems…” Tim Flannery 2007“This planet is on course for a catastrophe.The existence of Life itself is at stake.”– Dr Tim Flannery,Climate CouncilAustralia’s Bureau of Meteorology 2008:IT MAY be time to stop describing south-eastern Australia as gripped by drought and instead accept the extreme dry as permanent, one of the nation’s most senior weather experts warned yesterday.“Perhaps we should call it our new climate,” said the Bureau of Meteorology’s head of climate analysis, David Jones….“There is a debate in the climate community, after … close to 12 years of drought, whether this is something permanent…”The Bureau’s David Jones in 2007:As Jones wrote to the University of East Anglia the year before: “Truth be know, climate change here is now running so rampant that we don’t need meteorological data to see it.

Take the cost of the mothballed desalination plants, built after warmists persuaded politiciansthe rains would dry up:Sydney’s privatised desalination plant, which is costing residents more than $500,000 a day to keep on standby, will not be needed for at least another four or five years. The sale of the plant last year to a private company for $2.3 billion means residents are locked into paying about $10 billion in fees for the next 50 years, whether the plant is operating or not. Not one drop of water has come out of the Kurnell facility since it stopped operating more than a year ago. With dam levels at 93.4 per cent, the plant has been placed into “water security” mode, a long-term shutdown which is likely to continue for some time.”My best estimate is it will still be about four to five years before we turn the desalination plant on,” Sydney Water’s managing director Kevin Young told 7.30 New South WalesMind you, big cities did need more water security as they grew.

No. Mother Nature and natural variability are the answer as the earth is cooling. Cooling is not the new warming and we are not living in the fantasy of Alice in Wonderland where words become meaningless. There is no evidence of global warming now or for the past few decades. The Sun is the primary driver of climate not Co2 and the Sun is getting older and is dimming sending the earth less energy making the temperature colder.The Sun is DimmingDECEMBER 17, 2017 / DR.TONY PHILLIPSDec. 15, 2017: On Friday, Dec. 15th, at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida, SpaceX launched a new sensor to the International Space Station named TSIS-1. Its mission: to measure the dimming of the sun. As the sunspot cycle plunges toward its 11-year minimum, NASA satellites are tracking a decline in total solar irradiance (TSI). Across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, the sun’s output has dropped nearly 0.1% compared to the Solar Maximum of 2012-2014. This plot shows the TSI since 1978 as observed from nine previous satellites:Click here for a complete explanation of this plot.The rise and fall of the sun’s luminosity is a natural part of the solar cycle. A change of 0.1% may not sound like much, but the sun deposits a lot of energy on the Earth, approximately 1,361 watts per square meter. Summed over the globe, a 0.1% variation in this quantity exceeds all of our planet’s other energy sources (such as natural radioactivity in Earth’s core) combined. A 2013 report issued by the National Research Council (NRC), “The Effects of Solar Variability on Earth’s Climate,” spells out some of the ways the cyclic change in TSI can affect the chemistry of Earth’s upper atmosphere and possibly alter regional weather patterns, especially in the Pacific.The Sun is DimmingThe polar vortex is when Arctic air from the jet stream shifts South during the winters bringing record cold and massive snowfall. It has happened often in the past. The vortex does not move evenly and causes different weather in its path. It is old hat and not caused by global warming.The polar vortex is a large area of low pressure and cold air surrounding the Earth's North and South poles. The term vortex refers to the counter-clockwise flow of air that helps keep the colder air close to the poles (left globe). Often during winter in the Northern Hemisphere, the polar vortex will become less stable and expand, sending cold Arctic air southward over the United States with the jet stream (right globe).NOAAAs a Canadian studying in Cambridge Mass. in Feb. 24–27, 1969 we suffered the the massive 100 year record cold winter snowfall. (It was so bad my wife working as an RN at Mount Auburn hospital couldn’t come home she had to sleep over because replacements could not make it to work .)2. The Blizzard of ‘78 (Feb. 6-7) - 27.1 inchesThe infamous Blizzard of 1978 destroyed hundreds of homes and flooded the coast. It caused $500 million in damage in Massachusetts and left 73 dead and 4,324 injured, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA).Residents of Farragut Road in South Boston dig out cars from snowdrifts from the blizzard of '78. (AP)3. Feb. 24-27, 1969 - 26.3 inchesThis storm lasted several days and left 26.3 inches of snow in Boston.The media said nothing about a polar voltex in those days. They blamed the weather on Arctic air sweeping down from Canada. Yes, it was at this time that the politicians and scientists were worried about global cooling not global warming. Today the alarmist are afraid to admit this fact as it weakens their narrative, but even big media stories documentThe NY Times alway ready to scare the public reported - “the Arctic climate is becoming more frigid, why parts of the Arctic sea ice have recently become ominously thicker and whether the extent of that ice cover contributes to the onset of ice ages. ???Thankfully the cause of this ice age fear is more believeable as it is cold weather becoming even colder not the specious, bizarre claim that COOLING IS THE NEW WARMING?It is surely phony science to blame carbon dioxide for Polar Vortex variability. Arctic air is always unstable and changes are natural and documented for millions of years in climate history.Winters are increasingly bitter with massive snowfall as we see in January 2019.Delingpole: The Frozen Hell Outside Your Window Is What Global Warming Looks LikeThe Midwest and Northeast are being ravaged by the Polar Vortex. Illinois has recorded its coldest temperature on record. Aurora, Illinois has recorded the coldest afternoon on record. Mail deliveries and flights have been cancelled. Governors in Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan have declared emergencies.BIZARRE THEORY LINKING GLOBAL WARMING TO ‘POLAR VORTEXES’ RESURFACES. SCIENTISTS ARE PUSHING BACKIn what’s become an annual affair, the media is pushing articles suggesting bone-chilling temperatures about to hit the U.S. are the product of man-made global warming.However, many scientists disagree that global warming is having the bizarre effect of making it colder in winter, despite the media’s narrative.The two scientists published a study last year claiming cold snaps are more likely when the Arctic is abnormally warm, but their work suffered from serious flaws, namely, it did not test any hypothesis nor did it try to establish causality between global warming and cold snaps.The New York Times also pushed Cohen and Francis’s theory of global warming-induced cold. However, many scientists disagree with that theory and, in fact, there seems to be more evidence it’s just plain wrong.It defies common sense to claim that warming in the Arctic makes colder weather South of the Arctic. There is a much more practical answer to the Polar Vortex cause and that is ALBEDO OF FRESH SNOW.Albedo is an expression of the ability of surfaces to reflect sunlight (heat from the sun). Light-coloured surfaces return a large part of the sunrays back to the atmosphere (high albedo). Dark surfaces absorb the rays from the sun (low albedo).As the simple graph shows snow reflects 85% of sunlight back into space making the climate cooler.Ice- and snow-covered areas have high albedo, and an ice-covered Arctic reflects solar radiation which otherwise would be absorbed by the oceans and cause the Earth's surface to heat up. The proportion of the Earth's surface that is covered by snow and ice has a great deal to say for how much of the incoming solar radiation is reflected or absorbed. Low albedo (dark surfaces) leads to higher uptake of energy and, hence, warming. Moreover, when more ice and snow melt, there will be more dark surfaces. This is therefore a self-reinforcing effect. Climate change in the Arctic is consequently important for the development of climate change globally.http://www.npolar.no/en/facts/al...Norwegian Polar InstituteAs the Arctic expands with increased ice and snow the albedo is triggered and that makes the temperature colder like we witnessed this year. The snow albedo from the Arctic is a loop where cold gets colder and so on. This is surely a more common sense explanation than the bizarre unproved theory that global warming causes the shift in Arctic air. Also there are major science peer reviewed papers that identify the ALBEDO as the cause of this unique cooling.To realize how significant the snow albedo impact on temperature can be consider this evidence of our climate past.An extreme ice age hit the planet around 717 million years ago. Known as the Sturtian glaciation, this event is more informally dubbed "Snowball Earth" and it's thought to be the most extreme, and long-lasting, ice age the planet ever experienced.

In both Greenland and Antarctica, snowfall is by far the most important of those four. In fact, in Antarctica, snowfall accumulation is approximately equal to the sum of the other three.The magnitude and importance of snowfall on ice sheet mass balance is illustrated by the story of Glacier Girl. She's a Lockheed P-38 Lightning which was extracted in pieces from beneath 268 feet of accumulated ice and snow (mostly ice), fifty yearsafter she landed on the Greenland Ice Sheet.That is an astonishing number, more than 5 feet of ice per year, which is equivalent to more than seventy feet of annual snowfall! That snow represents evaporated water, mostly removed from the Arctic and North Atlantic Oceans, which then fell as ocean-effect snow on the Greenland Ice Sheet.Dave BurtonThe story of Glacier Girl is fascinating. You can read more about it here:Glacier Girl: The Back Storyand here:The Lost Squadron (Recovery of a P-38 from beneath a Greenland ice cap)So, what happens to snowfall in a warming climate?Is the Polar Vortex Affected by Climate Change? HOW STUFF WORKSNOWhile the polar vortex might seem like a shocking new phenomenon, cold snapscaused by distortions in the vortex actually have happened at other times in recent history. Back in January 1985, for example, the northern polar vortex was really distorted, and polar air pushed southward into the eastern U.S. In normally balmy Florida, the plunging temperatures destroyed 90 percent of the state's citrus crop. In Washington, D.C., the parade and outdoor ceremony for President Ronald Reagan's second inauguration had to be cancelled. Worse yet, at least 126 people died from the effects of the cold [source: NOAA].However, the polar vortex really isn't anything new to scientists. The polar vortex actually is a seasonal atmospheric phenomenon, a system of strong, high-level winds -- called the jet stream -- surrounding an extremely cold pocket of Arcticair. And while it might sound like a malevolent force of nature, the polar vortex for the most part is a pretty good thing, because its winds usually form a boundary that keeps the cold air contained and prevents us from freezing [source: Duke].The problem, though, is that once in a while, the polar vortex breaks down a little. The result is a big, powerful blast of Arctic air that can travel far south, causing the temperature to plunge in places accustomed to having mild winters [source: Duke]. In this article, we'll explain more about what the polar vortex is, and why it sometimes fluctuates.You may have heard a climate change skeptic point to a cold snap as proof that the planet isn't actually warming. Proponents, however, note that climate change may actually be contributing to distortions of the polar vortices, and the sudden plunges in temperature that those distortions cause.Here's the possible explanation. Scientists have observed that more and more Arctic sea ice is melting during the summer months. As the ice melts, the Arctic Ocean warms, and radiates that excess heat back to the atmosphere in winter. [BUT THE ARCTIC ICE IS NOT MELTING SEE BELOW] Because that heat somewhat reduces the contrast between the Arctic air and the atmosphere in regions farther south, it reduces the intensity of the winds that form the barrier between the two areas. That, in turn, weakens and disrupts the polar vortex. That hypothesis is supported by data taken over the past decade, which shows that in years when a lot of Arctic sea ice disappears, the vortex has a greater tendency to weaken [source: Fischetti].https://science.howstuffworks.co...ARCTIC sea-ice, refusing to suffer ‘missing out syndrome’, setting its own ‘inconvenient’ record …via Tony Heller’s Real Climate Science :Largest Increase In November Sea Ice Volume On RecordPosted on December 13, 2018 by tonyhellerThe increase in Arctic sea ice volume during November was the largest on record.spreadsheet dataNovember snow cover was the largest on record in North America.Rutgers University Climate Lab :: Global Snow LabAnd it was the fourth coldest November on record in the US.https://hprcc.unl.edu/products/m...November-Average-Maximum-Temperature-Vs-Year-1895-2018Meanwhile, our leading experts are warning that we are burning up and Arctic ice is disappearing.STATE OF ARCTIC SEA-ICE : 2018 SUMMER MINIMUMARCTIC SEA-ICE EXTENT (September 2018)MINIMUM sea-ice extent has been trending up over the past decade.

It is pseudo - science.The alarmist and media are very duplicitous on this issue by seeing a bit of warming as global and dangerous and ignoring the massive freezing winters around the world recently by claiming they are caused by warming??? IMPOSSIBLE ORWELLIAN ILLOGICGood example was the drought in California in 2015–17 while record cold weather across the US. OBAMA said drought was climate change a record cold was just weather. Now California has massive snowfall and of course this is dismissed as winter weather?– Christine Stewart,former Canadian Minister of the Environment“No matter if the science of global warming is all phony…climate change provides the greatest opportunity tobring about justice and equality in the world.”– Christine Stewart,UN IPCC global warming science hypothesis is falseSadly the science relied on by the alarmists claiming a discernible human impact on global warming is bunk! Surprising that it is old and demolished science of the 1800s relied on by alarmists today for any connections between human emissions of co2 and global warming. They wrongly rely on Joseph Fourier in 1824, John Tyndall in 1860, and by Svante Arrhenius in 1896.The presumed pioneers, Fourier and Pouillet, were only concerned with water vapour. Tyndall showed that water vapour was far more important than carbon dioxide. Yet the wrong greenhouse gas has been chosen, purely because its concentration can be blamed on human activity.Arrhenius ignored the advice of these pioneers and failed to realise that Langley’s measurements which he used did not include carbon dioxide absorption; so his results were for water vapour instead. All subsequent advocates for an important role for carbon dioxide have failed to realise this.The settled science that a greenhouse warms up due to re-radiated light (energy), as set out by Fourier (1824), Tyndall (1861), Arrhenius (1896), NASA (2008), et al., is false.CHAPTER 5 :THE GREENHOUSE EFFECTThe alarmists fail to offer any modern references supportive of anthropogenic (i.e. man made causes. This is the reason that 2000 IPCC scientists researching the very issue of human caused climate activity found none in their summary report in 1995 -1. “None of the studies cited above has shown clear evidence that we can attribute the observed (climate) changes to the specific cause of increases in greenhouse gases.”2. “No study to date has positively attributed all or part (of observed climate change) to anthropogenic (i.e. man-made) causes.”3. “Any claims of positive detection of significant climate change are likely to remain controversial until uncertainties in the natural variability of the climate system are reduced.”The uncertainties of the IPCC working group 1 continue without any peer reviewed studies. Yet the public are bamboozled by the lies of Al Gore and other alarmists on this issue."If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."“WE need to get some broad based support,to capture the public’s imagination…So we have to offer up scary scenarios,make simplified, dramatic statementsand make little mention of any doubts…Each of us has to decide what the right balanceis between being effective and being honest.“– Prof. Stephen Schneider,Stanford Professor of Climatology,lead author of many IPCC reportsTHE Great “Extreme Weather” Climate Change Propaganda ConPosted: February 22, 2017 | Author: Jamie Spry | Filed under: Alarmism Debunked,The “Extreme Weather” meme has earned its place in climate change history as the fundamental driver of climate scaremongering, used deceptively and effectively to promote the catastrophic man-made climate change theory by instilling fear, doom and gloom directly into the human psyche through simple imagery and repetitive correlation rhetoric.Even though “weather” is not climate, the daily bombardment via news and multi-media of climatic disaster clips provide more than enough evidence for the casual observer to convince them that the climate is in fact changing as a direct result of human CO2 emissions.Much of the mainstream media gleefully encourages and promotes the catastrophic man-made warming narrative. Hence, sensationalising a typhoon in the Phillipines or a forest fire in California has become fair-game in the virtuous and IMHO nefarious push to enhance the supposed human CO2-induced climate catastrophe.However, when you look at hard data and scientific evidence pertaining to extreme weather through the lens of “Government data” and “Peer-Reviewed Science”, as opposed to scary pictures and videos, absorbed via billions of iPhones and hysterical climate-obsessed mainstream media, things are not quite as bad as they seem. In fact, by most metrics, extreme weather events are becoming ‘less’ extreme as CO2 increases. This should come as relieving news to all, though sadly, yet predictably, such data will come as extremely inconvenient news to the virtuous “Save The Planet” lobby and especially those invested in the trillion dollarglobal warming climate change industry that feeds and thrives off doomsday scenarios.*Below are listed the more common metrics associated with the much maligned and deceptively ascribed “extreme weather” meme. A term which I would label as a very clever weapon of mass climate propaganda to elevate hysteria, emotions and fear with the ultimate end to mould groupthink belief in human CO2-induced climate change…HURRICANESThe US is currently experiencing a record 12 year (4,380 days) drought of major landfall hurricanes (Cat3+).

Obama’s presidency had five hurricane strikes, the last being “Matthew” (Cat 1 at landfall, October 8,2016).Grover Cleveland (1885 – 1889 & 1893 – 1897) and Franklin D Roosevelt (1933 – 1945) both presided over 26 hurricanes, almost six times as many as Obama:The presidency of Barack Obama had the lowest frequency of US hurricane strikes of any president:Charts via Steve S Goddard – Only updated to 2014NOAA – Chronological List of All HurricanesDuring Obama’s presidency, atmospheric CO2 levels were between 384-400 ppm.

Some increase in tropical cyclone activity is found relative to the earliest decades. No trend is found after the decade 1965-1974. A comparison of the six cyclone basins in the study shows that the Western Pacific Basin is the most active basin and the North Indian Basin the least. The advantages of using a general linear model for trend analysis are described.A General Linear Model for Trends in Tropical Cyclone Activity by Jamal Munshi :: SSRNAgain, despite rising CO2, there is no trend in tropical cyclone activity after the decade 1965-1974.

Average season lengths are reduced by around five days. Reductions in peak depths are usually less than 10%, but can be larger at lower sites (e.g. Mt Baw Baw and Wellington High Plains).The high impact scenario for 2020 leads to reductions of 30-40 days in average season lengths. At higher sites such as Mt Hotham, this can represent reductions in season duration of about 25%, but at lower sites such as Mt Baw Baw the reduction can be more significant (up to 60%)…We have very high confidence (at least 95%) that the low impact scenarios will be exceeded and the high impact scenarios will not be exceeded.In 2014, the New York Times signalled “The End of Snow”:The End of Snow? – NYTimes.comWRONG MORE WINTER SNOW IS THE REAL WORLDTourists flock to see 52 feet of fresh snow in Japanese Mountains.Brutal record cold winter in Chicago in Feb. 2019.Why is there more bad winter weather year after year?

Ergo, has slight global warming since the 1970’s actually decreased the frequency and strength of extreme weather events? The above evidence strongly supports this case. Especially in the case of Northern Hemisphere Hurricanes, Tornadoes and drought.Ironically and to this point, in 1974 climatologists blamed extreme weather on “Global Cooling”.The panic was so real during the “Global Cooling” scare of the 1970’s that UN scientists wanted to melt the Arctic by spreading black soot on it!02 Feb 1972 – Scientists fear for Arctic Sea ice – TroveAnd today, the UN, all those expert climatologists and their sycophant media gleefully blame any extreme weather event, not on “global cooling” but now “global warming”.
