The European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) has posted its latest climate video: Drohen “brutale Hitze-Sommer” wegen El Niño? (Is a brutal heat summer threatening due to El Nino?).
Currently, every day that sees a high temperature reading of over 30°C is causing the media blare out warnings of runaway climate heating and killer heatwaves.
The EIKE video addresses current German media reports (including from Bild and Focus) warning of extreme heatwaves in 2026 and 2027 due to the upcoming El Niño phenomenon. Climate scientists such as Daniel Swain, Carlo Buontempo, and Theodor Coapman are cited predicting historic weather events, record-breaking years, as well as extreme droughts and wildfires.
But the EIKE video criticizes that scientists often phrase their forecasts using the subjunctive mood or speculative language (“I believe,” “probability is increased”), a tactical approach common among climate researchers to legally and scientifically protect themselves in case the catastrophic predictions do not come true.
Natural phenomenon
The video emphasizes that El Niño is a completely natural phenomenon known for centuries. Due to the weakening of trade winds off South America, less cold deep-sea water rises to the surface. The warmer surface water absorbs less oxygen and CO2, leading to a die-off of plankton and causing the marine food chain to collapse. Historically, the collapse of the Moche culture in the 8th century is even attributed to severe El Niño effects.
TheEIKE interprets the absence of the CO2 theory (anthropogenic climate change) in the cited scientists’ statements as a strategic shift. Because criticism of the CO2 theory has grown too loud lately, alarmists are now switching to purely natural phenomena to secure their positions.
Any hypothesis must be backed by observation to become a theory.
Without a significant and positive correlation between CO2 atmospheric concentration and global temperatures, any CO2 assumption must be rejected/refuted as a theory.
Observation : There NO correlation from CO2 concentration to global temperatures, and this is true at any timescale.
And it get worse : the only observed correlation is negative (even if not signifitant).
Conclusion : alarmists can only make science fiction story telling about nothing : population have to be edutated so as to refute alarmist’s fear mongering.
EIKE is a good way to do so.
Those climate idiots know no bounds to keep their scaremongering going…
They can not admit defeat.
When the Trade Winds slow, a wave of warm water, known as a Kelvin wave, moves eastward across the Pacific Ocean. This is surface water from the Pacific Warm Pool. When this water reaches South America, it can move north and south and suppress the well-known cold Humbolt Current {aka the Peru Current}.
Kelvin Waves move water horizontally unlike an open-ocean-wave that moves energy horizontally.
Also, note that as of now, 15 June 2026, the El Niño being written about is still months in the future and its intensity will not be known until December or next January.

It is hard to believe in 2026 that people still deny the impact of the Greenhouse Effect in raising global temperatures as atmospheric concentrations of GHGs continue to rise.
