Spain: Strange statistics. At the same time that July Excess Deaths is the highest in recorded history (except March-April 2020), higher even than in any winter (also if we remove deaths attributed to heat), Covid deaths between May-August in 2022 are also higher than 2021 & 2020
As per Euro MoMo, excess deaths well above normal is occurring across Europe since at least week 21 (May 29).
Next weekend we will analyze how countries in the world have performed in terms of cumulative excess deaths per capita but since January 2022, which is what matters now
For those who say that Covid deaths are due to heat, hospitals in Spain do not have air-conditioning?
And even if Covid deaths in Jul 2022 had been = May 2022 (or even= Jul 2021), the cumulative deaths attributed to Covid for the period May-August 2022 would still be the highest

Valencia: Nada distinto de otras veces. El cambio climático no mata. Mata la ineptitud de los gobernantes: (1) Falta de aviso eficaz a la población (2) Urbanización desde hace décadas en zonas inundables (3) Falta de inversión en infraestructuras (4) Falta de limpieza de cauces
Como en muchas otras tragedias naturales, sanitarias, o económicas, la culpa es de los gobiernos, ineptos o corruptos, no del cambio climático (y mucho menos de la "huella de carbono" de la clase trabajadora).
Ni en España ni en Valencia los eventos de grandes lluvias han aumentado desde que hay registros oficiales. Lo que ha aumentado es la urbanización en las zonas que recurrentemente se inundan, y la ineptitup de los políticos.

Neither in Spain nor in the province of Valencia is there any increase in the frequency or intensity of torrential rainfall events (defined as those greater than 100lt/m2 in 24h). If there is any trend, it is downward. The causes of the great catastrophe in Valencia are political
The causes have nothing to do with anthropogenic climate change. They are all political: (1) Lack of ‘effective’ and timely warning to the population. (2) Urbanisation in areas that have been flooded for decades (3) Lack of investment in infrastructure and cleaning of wadi beds.
Valencia. Zonas cero: Picanya, Paiporta, Benetússer, Sedaví, Alfafar, Massanassa, Catarroja. Solo los dos últimos están calificados como inundables por la Generalitat. El barranco del Poyo, muy urbanizado, tiene capacidad para 1800 m3/sg. El 29 octubre se desbordó con 2300 m3/sg.
Estas inundaciones no son nuevas. El 14 oct. 1957 ocurrió una igual o mayor. Lo que es nuevo es la gran de urbanización que hay ahora alrededor de las ramblas. En la foto de las obras del nuevo cauce del Turia se ve lo poco urbanizado que estaba el sur de la ciudad de Valencia.
Los medios repiten una y otra vez que la catástrofe de Valencia se debe al cambio climático. Por dramático que haya sido y esté siendo el evento, esa afirmación no se compadece con los datos.
On Sept 19, many newspapers published the latest scientific paper that maintains that the Earth is at its coldest point in the last 485 million years, but at the same time conveying the three classic alarmist messages: today is too hot, it is man-made and there are no precedents.
The Washington Post, El Mundo, and many others worlwide published summaries of said study the same day (Sept 19, 2024), indicating a synchronized press campaign. However, some like El Mundo did not dare to include the above graph, perhaps because of how incoherent it is.
The first message that the current temp is too high is false: it is the coldest of the last 485My. That the warming is man-made is debatable and discussed. That it is unprecedented is false, there have been many times when the temperature rose much faster. dropbox.com/scl/fi/fgguob8…
España: TODAS las estaciones meteorológicas rurales han registrado temperaturas muy por debajo o por debajo de la media de 30 años en todos o casi todos los últimos 12 meses, mientras que todas las estaciones urbanas muestran temperaturas por encima de la media en julio y agosto.
Existe gran discrepancia en el cálculo del calentamiento global dependiendo de si se promedian solo los datos de estaciones rurales o se incluyen también las urbanas. Los registros urbanos están distorsionados al alza por el aumento de la actividad humana dropbox.com/scl/fi/5m0f8mz…
In minute 2:05:10, @elonmusk told to @realDonaldTrump that people get headaches at 1,000 ppm of CO2. This needs to be qualified. The threshold above which it is considered unhealthy to work for more than 8 hours is 5,000 ppm, and these are some references of CO2 concentrations:
You can find the full interview/conversation here:
Furthermore, Elon Musk said that CO2 is increasing at 2 ppm/year. Assuming that the main cause of this increase is man, we would not reach 1000ppm until 300 years from now. But there must be other sources of CO2: oil barrel consumption dropped 9% in 2020 and CO2 continued to rise
