Media Ignore Vast Summer Cold Across Northern Hemisphere; Southern USA, Russia See “Record Lows” In July

While the headlines naturally focused on an intense heat wave relatively small region centered over France and Germany last weak, the global warming ambulance chasers worked overtime avoiding and ignoring the real story: vast, continent-wide cold spread across Russia.

First at the European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE), Klaus Öllerer reported how the Sahara heat ended up being a “zero-sum” event for the northern hemisphere.

He wrote last week that despite the heat that took place in large parts of Europe, in other neighboring parts it was cooler than usual. Only a certain area in Central Europe (purple area) was particularly hot. Around it, it was less warm (yellow) and cooler than usual (blue):

“Even large parts of the Sahara are cooler than usual (blue). This is no wonder, as the heat is now in Europe and cooler air flows into the Sahara,” Öllerer wrote.

“The above-average warm areas balance out with the above-average cold areas,” he concluded. “The current warming is a zero-sum game! Historically, such events have occurred again and again.”

“It is even the case that in cooler times – such as the Little Ice Age – warm summer extremes were more frequent than in the last one hundred years and more,” Öllerer added.

Severe cold across Russia

Last Saturday on his July 27 Weatherbell Saturday Summary, meteorologist Joe Bastardi posted images of what the coming days would look like over Eastern Europe and Russia:
