May 15 in Spain: a taste of winter that reignites the climate change debate
May 15 and the global warming debate

May 15 is shaping up in León, Spain, with winter-like temperatures, reopening the debate over whether the global warming narrative matches the actual weather. Forum members analyze the disconnect between the apocalyptic predictions made two decades ago and the thermometers of 2026.

What's at stake

  • The core of the debate: The gap between real temperatures (lows of 5° in May) and the projections of the early 2000s, which forecast a desert-like climate for Spain.
  • The rift: The clash between the official narrative of "environmental amnesia" — which attributes the perception of cold to poor historical memory — and the skepticism of those who see this cold as an irreconcilable contradiction with the theory of constant warming.
  • The detail nobody expected: The irony that, in the face of any thermal anomaly, the official discourse adapts to include both extreme cold and record heat under the same umbrella of "climate change", leaving many forum members wondering whether the theory is, in fact, unfalsifiable.

What forum members say about May 15 and climate change

Position A: The textbook skeptics. They argue the narrative has mutated: if heat used to be the problem, now cold is also "climate change". They claim the story has become a catch-all where any weather event justifies the 2030 Agenda.​
Position B: The defenders of "climate amnesia". Citing mainstream press articles, they argue our perception deceives us and that current winters are, on average, warmer, even if isolated events make us doubt.​
Position C: The ironic pragmatists. They point out the contradiction that, if climate change were really pushing us toward an ice age, current measures to curb "warming" would prove counterproductive. They prefer to fall back on folk wisdom: "Don't shed your coat until May is out".​
