The forum discusses the recent contrast between official forecasts of extreme heat and the reality of unusual cold spells in spring. Users question the reliability of state weather agencies and the political use of climate data to justify new agendas.
Key points of the debate
- Weather contrast: Many users point to a discrepancy between forecasts of a "warm spring" and the weather actually observed, marked by cool temperatures and late snowfalls.
- Volcanic factor: The real impact of the 2022 Tonga volcano eruption is debated, suggesting that the temperature anomalies of recent years could be related to this natural phenomenon and not exclusively to human activity.
- Institutional scepticism: There is a critical consensus towards AEMET (Spain's state meteorological agency) and official institutions, accusing them of bias in interpreting historical records to sustain a climate emergency narrative.
What forum members say about climate change
Position A (Critical of the official narrative): They argue that warming predictions are a tool of social and fiscal control. They point out that, when cold or snow phenomena occur, official bodies try to adapt the discourse in order to keep justifying regulations and new taxes.
Position B (Empirical observers): Several users contribute personal accounts and comparative photos from previous years, highlighting a notable increase in snow accumulation in mountain areas such as the Pyrenees, thus questioning the thesis of constant warming.
