In Japan, like many other places around the world, the media like to tell audiences how sea surface temperatures around Japan are rising due to man-made global warming.
But, as is often the case, the data and facts tell the opposite story.
What follows is a chart depicting sea surface temperatures around Japan.
As we can plainly see below, the sea surface temperatures around Japan rapidly cooled since the start of the new century, before spiking briefly around 2016. The overall trend for the past 21 years has been steady.
Typhoons NOT On The Rise
Japanese media also like claiming that the number of typhoons is on the rise as well. But here too the data from the JMA show how the opposite is the reality.
The number of typhoons has been trending down modestly for many decades, even though atmospheric CO2 concentrations have increased.
So the next time you hear some doomsday climate claim from the media, you’ll be well informed in most cases if you simply assume the opposite to be true!
Especially when it comes to climate trends and predictions. the media just cannot be trusted. Often they are living in a fantasy world.

I don’t know that the media are actively lying as it is the believe the so-called climate scientists who feed them the lies. The media then don’t investigate further to see the truth, such that the oceans aren’t getting warmer, the number and intensity of typhoons and hurricanes are not getting more frequent and worse. Same goes with floods, droughts, wildfires, tornadoes (and the list goes on) are not worse.
That’s right. The charts and graphs tell the whole story. But even if the ocean were warming, it would be in response to the warm temperatures during the Medieval warm period. The ocean holds a tremendous amount of heat, and it takes hundreds of years for an ocean current to completely circulate around the earth. Warming ocean water releases vast quantities of carbon dioxide. In contrast, we humans are emitting just 4% of the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide.
