Sensationalist weathermen in Germany losing credibility, get mocked and ridiculed.
Meteorologists are discovering that if they want to get attention from the media and more clicks and and likes (short term), then all they have to do is announce fictional heatwaves that weather models routinely hallucinate 10-14 days out. “Temperatures could soar to 40°C!”
German online Weltwoche here reports on this phenomenon with a recent article titled: “The “heatwave” to be followed by the “red hot wave”: the climate alarmists are taking themselves to the point of absurdity and losing all credibility.”

In an attempt to sensationalize hot summer weather to convey climate urgency and panic,some German meteorologists have been bombarding their viewers with alarming headlines, like: “This summer threatens to shatter all weather records!”
These climate alarmists have been fixated on regular weather extremes and using dramatic imagery of storms, droughts, and collapsing Swiss mountains to sway public opinion – while totally ignoring the lack of statistical evidence for an increase in such phenomena.
Weltwoche, reports, however, that the increasingly shrill weather rhetoric is backfiring, leading to greater mistrust among a growing number of skeptics who use social media platforms like X to mock and ridicule the sensationalized claims.
Thanks to social media, Weltwoche concludes that the era of media monopolies on truth is over: “But the shriller the battle cries of the climate alarmists, the less credible they become.”

In the UK, the MET Office provides short travel weather bulletins carried on TV channels. As the overseas holidays spots have warmed, these are presented in an upbeat manner as good news When reporting similar temperatures for the national reports, the deepest reds are used and warnings given.
On 11.08.2021 in Siracusa (Sicily) a temperature record amounting to 38,8°C has been measured.
That day the thermometer reached 48,8°C. the record has been confirmed by the world meteorological organisation.
Originally there have been several debates about that record:
on 14.08.2021 a Reuter Agency stated that the local police arrested two farmers who were lighting wildfires in the region during these days.
On the NASA fire control site one can still see that some 20 km west of Monasteri huge wildfires were burning.
Wind was blowing from west (therefore pushing the heat air exactly in direction of Monasteri).
The record was measured on 11:30 to 11:40 am, while at 12:00 the temperature had dropped to 40°C (8,8°C drop within 20 minutes). So in the warmest hours of the day we had not the record temperature, but much earlier.
At the same time the wildfires were almost extinguished on 12:00.
Nevertheless the WCO has confirmed that Sicily is now holding the European temperature record.
Now you cannot find any trace of these debates anymore.
You search in Internet and a very wise AI answers that “no the temperature record of Monasteri was NOT influenced by wildfires).
