Reykjavik, Iceland – for weeks now one of the warmest places in Europe

During the last few weeks, we had temperatures close to 10°Celsius above zero, while most of the rest of Europe was freezing with minus degrees in the same range below zero. And we aren´t the only lucky ones up here in the north – Greenlanders also had a spot of nice warmths recently.

Three days ago temperatures started to drop slightly and a storm has covered most of the country with a moderate layer of snow – except here in Reykjavik. We still are snow-free and just around zero. There is, however, a frost prognosis for the next few days.

But still, here in the capital of Iceland we might not have a white Christmas. Looking for that his year you´d better go to Italy (or to Florida or California maybe?).
Sure, the winter has just started, and we will get our share of cold later on, no doubt.

But I´ve seen this kind of strange difference in weather pattern between us and the rest of Europe before- some twenty years ago actually, only in reverse.

It was in the early 1990s, when political Europe started to fully get on the “Global Warming” train, while we had some of the heaviest snow winters in living memory of most Icelanders then.

At the time we lived in Dalvik, a small town in northern Iceland. On the picture to the left you can see what it looked like in those years (between January and May) about twice a week when we opened our front-door in the morning.
To dig ourselves out of the house and up to the surface, we then had to shovel the snow into a baby bath, and from there dump it into the big bath tub, where we eventually melted it with our hot-spring water.

Now there could be many reasons why we here in Iceland lag behind our neighbours to the south in warming or cooling weather patterns .
The most likely explanation is, that the ocean heats and cools a lot slower than the landmasses. It might take years before we who are living on an island in the middle of the Atlantic ocean catch up with the cooling period the rest of the world has started to experience right now, just like it took us years to catch up with “global warming”.

It´s interesting to see, however, that the level of CO2 has little to do with it.
After the volcanic eruption of Eyjarfjallajökull this year spread it´s ashes all over Europe all the way down to North Africa it should also have released enormous amounts of extra CO2 over the same area.
It surely didn´t warm up Europe or the rest of the globe.

There are those who say that the extra CO2 produced by the eruption is cancelled out by the ashes in the air which – combined with water vapor – could be the cause of a cooling cloud cover. But if this is so, what then would be the explanation for Europe´s record cold and snowy winter of last year – the year before the eruption?

Of course, the “Global Warming”-renamed “Climate Change”- community isn´t about to give up so easily in the face of logic or inconvenient facts.
The newest theory we are now being presented by the Icelandic branch of said community is, that the recent cooling is caused by the melting of the polar ice caps.
The “Global Warming” club is actually mainly populated by media people and by entertainers rather than by meteorologist and climatologists.
And therefor we heard a similar argument before, after the American branch of the club in cooperation with the Pentagon released the movie “The Day after Tomorrow”. Here they argued, that the melting ice of Greenland would change the salt content in the Mexican Gulf-stream, interrupting its flow and cause a sudden onset of a new ice-age in Northern Europe and North-America.
But once again:
If the Gulf-stream was interrupted or the melting ice was cooling the waters around us, wouldn´t Icelanders and Greenlanders notice it first?

But then, logic and actual truthful climate science are irrelevant for our elite policy makers, the frontmen politicians and the real powers behind the scenes. Facts and logic are also irrelevant for their duped fan club in the “green” grass-root movements.

The real goal the leading elite environmentalists has little to do with saving nature or the climate but everything with controlling populations all over the planet.
They are Malthusians with a deep disdain, even a hatred, for most of humanity.
As one of the founders of the elite “Club of Rome” put it so famously:

“In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill … All these dangers are caused by human intervention and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy, then, is humanity itself.”
- Alexander King, founder and Bertrand Schneider, secretary of the”Club of Rome”, the environmental elite [Rockefeller's CFR] think tank in The First Global Revolution, pp.104-105

And here a quote from Maurice Strong, first Secretary General of the United Nations Environmental Program:

“What if a small group of these world leaders were to conclude the principal risk to the earth comes from the actions of the rich countries?…In order to save the planet, the group decides: Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring this about?”

Maurice Strong´s UN agency was established in 1972 , an outgrowth of this agency became today´s “Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change” (IPCC).

In the hands of those elites environmentalism is only a tool of oppression – or class-warfare, if you prefer this term.
Their kind of environmentalism strives to restrict the rights of individuals to self-determination, the ability of communities, villages, towns, cities to serve the best interests of their citizens and it does away with national sovereignty.

In the real world environmental issues are not global but local concerns, which need to be tackled locally. For conditions are so very different in different parts of the world and often even in different parts of a single country. If more than one community is affected by an issue, like all the villages, towns and cities along a river, then those communities most negotiate for the common good of all concerned. But still, it´s not a global issue. The best solutions are always the ones found by those who are actually effected by them.

As for the “Global Warming” cult, I don´t think they can keep it up very much longer. They are rapidly running out of excuses for the cooling.

And in the matter of their credibility, they remind me of Reinhard Mey´s song from the late 1970s:
“Weil ich ein Metereologe bin”:

Here a metereologist laments that he is the laughing stock of his neighbours in town. He never got married, since no woman can take his dishonesty
-”Whoever first lies about the weather, can´t be trusted on anything else either”
