The European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) here presents two charts which I’m featuring today.
They show that the winter temperature trend for Germany over the past 32 years is not cooperating with “experts’” forecasts of rapid warming and snow and ice becoming a thing of the past.
The first chart, using the data from Germany’s DWD national weather service, shows that wintertime’s mean temperature trend in Germany has not risen in 32 years:
The green trendline shows that although CO2 in the atmosphere globally has increased from about 350 ppm since 1988 to about 412 ppm currently, Germany’s mean winter temperature has fallen a bit.
France winters cooling
The story is true for much of France as well. Japanese blogger Kirye prepared a chart depicting the winter mean temperature of 12 stations across the country using the untampered data available from the Japan Meteorology Agency (JMA):
Germany trending away from droughts
Also, the German media are often filled with scare stories telling us we will be seeing an increasing number of droughts and dryness, and that last year’s dry summer was just a taste of what is to come.
Yet once again the data contradict all the doomsday drought reports. The long term winter precipitation trend since records began has been upward.
However, we acknowledge the trend has been decreasing (to normal levels) since about 2000. Interestingly German precipitation shows a 40-year cycle, and so likely has nothing to do with CO2.
The annual precipitation trend for Germany has also been upward overall, and it too has been trending downward since about 2000 (during this time sunshine hours have increased):

This article shows that the alarmists in Germany are not up to those in the US. In the US NOAA and NASA have significantly altered the historical temperature data to support the climate change cause.
I’m sure those in control in Germany will do the same as they do with any data that undermines their cause. They ignore it.
Some Germans were never great on winter . Yes …lets invade Russia in the middle of the winter . Over 4 million people died because of these incompetent arrogant A holes .
Now… lets set the worlds temperature by manipulating a trace gas .
Clearly some dumb asses survived .
