    "Too warm" is arbitrary.

    Exactly. Yet it was reported as a fact.

    Yes, that's the problem that was pointed out.

    I checked out WUWT today. The propaganda there has really gone downhill since their glory days. They've been reduced to posting news of snow in winter.

    Thus, this propaganda thread has become just as lame. They're just phoning it in. Antivaxxism is hogging all the conspiracy crowd's oxygen.

    You are feeling better now despite that you didn't support your claims.

    Opinions is what you posted, and they are really lame.

    Sleep well.

    So you are reduced to pretending that snow in winter in locations that have not had snow in living memory at all is not a relevant climate datum. That fits.
    How embarrassing it must be for you to have to resort to such obvious Ministry-of-Climate-Truth nonscience.

    Here we see the Ministry of Truth in action.
    Liberal Tech Giants Censor Facts About Climate Change

    Bjorn Lomborg, NY Post
    The online world has become a free-speech battleground. Tech platforms have sided with illiberal regimes to censor posts while flagging “misinformation” in free countries. We all share a legitimate interest in avoiding outright falsehoods, but much censorship today — whether at dictators’ behest or in the name of eradicating “misinformation” — ultimately is about restricting discourse to a narrow corridor of the politically acceptable. That makes it harder to identify smart policies.

    This is especially troubling for important issues like climate change. Global warming is real and man-made. However, social-media giants — Facebook in particular — are going far beyond censoring people for denying its existence. . . .

    Disturbingly, Facebook’s vice president has admitted fact-checkers are not necessarily objective, and the company even acknowledged recently in a lawsuit that fact-check tags are “opinion,” not factual assertions. That certainly fits my own experience.

    Yet some activists want even more censorship. They’ve praised researchers for inventing an artificial-intelligence tool allowing social-media platforms to delete climate-change “misinformation” in real time. Absurdly, the AI tool has such a narrow view of acceptability that many mainstream scientific findings would be deleted.

    Tellingly, all this censorship is focused on one side: Activists can claim climate-change effects are far worse than they really are, with little or no suppression. In other words: Inconvenient facts get blocked, but convenient mistruths and exaggerations thrive. . . .

    Just...wow. I've been puzzled at how an agenda as absurd and dishonest as anti-fossil-fuel hysteria -- including the criminalization of objectively factual scientific views -- could ever have taken hold among regular people, who are mostly honest and well-meaning. The participation of some of the greediest, most dishonest scum in the business world certainly goes some way to explaining it.

    If our lifespan was only one day, people would blame the coming sunset on human cause, and try to profit from it.
