Told you I had a giggle:
[url]he meteorologist Klaus Hager from the Lechfeld finds the discussion about climate change and climate protection ridiculous. Man has little influence on it, he says.
Mr. Hager, we are currently experiencing a winter that is - with the exception of the week after Christmas - not quite one. Can this be seen as a result of climate change?

Hager: With the keyword "climate change" one is now fast at hand. These assumptions have nothing to do with reality. As an example, I would like to illuminate the Augsburg region when you approach the winter . In a time series of over 60 years, the average temperature in the winter months of December, January and February is minus 0.2 degrees Celsius. In the course of the years, some regularity - for example, that it has become warmer in recent years - is not recognizable.
For the past ten winters: Three were above the average with the temperatures. But six were underneath. And one of them is quite exactly the average temperature. I could also reach other sizes like the absolute temperature minimum reached minus 27.1 degrees 20 years ago. In the years before and after, the temperatures were more or less clearly above. It is a real zigzag course, which does not show any regularity.
What do you conclude from this?
Hager: I can quote only Professor Lauscher from Vienna: "Variations dominate the climate, not trends. In the climate the change is the only constant. "And when you look back in the history of mankind, then ever colder and warmer periods emerge. The Romans drank wine in Augsburg, which in the antiquity was largely cultivated in this region. This was made possible by the climate. Around the year 350 it has gradually collapsed, which was a not inconsiderable reason for the migration of the peoples in the late antiquity. In Eastern European regions the climate has deteriorated in such a way that survival in the long term would not have been possible.

What a heap of crap, it could have been Ajax they were interviewing!
