The European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE) has posted its latest climate video: Is brutal summer heat threatening due to El Niño? (Drohen “brutale Hitze-Sommer” wegen El Niño?) [some emphasis, links added]
Currently, every day that sees a high temperature reading over 30°C causes the media to blare out warnings of runaway climate heating and killer heatwaves.
The EIKE video (below) addresses current German media reports (including from Bild and Focus) warning of extreme heatwaves in 2026 and 2027 due to the upcoming El Niño.
Climate scientists such as Daniel Swain, Carlo Buontempo, and Theodor Coapman are cited as predicting historic weather events, record-breaking years, as well as extreme droughts and wildfires.

But the EIKE video criticizes that scientists often phrase their forecasts using the subjunctive mood or speculative language (“I believe,” “probability is increased”), a tactical approach common among climate researchers to legally and scientifically protect themselves in case the catastrophic predictions do not come true.
Natural phenomenon
The video emphasizes that El Niño is a completely natural phenomenon known for centuries.
Due to the weakening of trade winds off South America, less cold deep-sea water rises to the surface. The warmer surface water absorbs less oxygen and CO2, leading to a die-off of plankton and causing the ocean’s food chain to collapse.
Historically, the collapse of the Moche culture in the 8th century is even attributed to severe El Niño effects.
The EIKE interprets the absence of the CO2 theory (anthropogenic climate change) in the cited scientists’ statements as a strategic shift.
Because criticism of the CO2 theory has grown too loud lately, alarmists are now switching to purely natural phenomena to secure their positions.
