Refusing to comment on his past alarmist climate predictions…
More than two decades ago, renowned climate scientist Mojib Latif of Germany’s Max Planck Instiute for Meterology, based in Hamburg, warned the climate-ambulance chasing Der Spiegel that, due to global warming, Germany would likely no longer experience harsh winters with heavy frost and snow as it had in previous decades.

In light of the current severe winter weather in Germany, Latif’s statements are facing renewed scrutiny. An article appearing in the Berliner Zeitung here notes that Latif’s prophecy has “aged poorly” and he appears to want to have nothing to do with them.
Hiding from the media
According to the Berliner Zeitung, the former Max Planck Institute scientist has recently stopped responding to media inquiries regarding his past claims. Critics argue that such drastic predictions damage the credibility of climate science, while others point out that extreme weather events—including intense cold snaps—can still occur within the broader context of climate change.
No Easter snow as well
Latif also claimed he recalled snow in the past occurring at Easter time, implying this no longer happens today. But that too was a false claim. perhaps prof. Latif will answer phone calls in April?
I have long thought that many of the climate-extremists will “go quietly into the night.” Apology to Dylan Thomas.
Of course, harsh winters can also occur when anthropogenic climate doesn’t exist.

My 6th Law of effective thinking (NEVER correct thinking!) applies to these Climate Change ‘amygdala tweakers’.
If you want to reduce your life-stress, think effectively. Know a little quicker when your crazy ideas are crazy.
1) Life is difficult.
2) Perception is reality.
3) Change is the toughest thing a human being can do.
4) You can never change another human being; you can only change yourself. Once you change, they change, but you cannot change them.
5) I am responsible for everything I do and say. I am not responsible for your response.
6) The future and the past are seldom as good or bad as we anticipate or remember.
7) Nobody has a squeaky-clean psyche.
8) The only thing that lasts forever is now.
