Recent global and ocean temperature drops are scuppering mainstream media narratives of a “climate emergency.”
Chris Morrison, writing for the Daily Sceptic, reports that falls in sea surface temperatures—down 0.5°C over a few months—have reversed years of warnings about unprecedented ocean warming.
The declines return global sea temperatures to 2015 levels, despite recent claims of “record-breaking” heat, such as those pushed by the BBC, UN chief Antonio Guterres, and environmentalists like Jim Dale.
Morrison warns that Net Zero climate hysteria masks a broader agenda of authoritarianism, referencing a private member’s Climate and Nature Bill in Britain’s Parliament.
Quoting Paul Homewood’s analysis, Morrison writes:
“Net Zero is already doing great harm, but if this bill becomes law, the country will be unrecognisable in 10 years’ time. There will be energy and food shortages, industry will be decimated, private transport and foreign holidays a thing of the past. What we take for granted today will be unaffordable for most. And there will be nothing we can do about it.”
He casts doubt on traditional land heat measurements due to urban heat distortions and data adjustments.
His explanations for recent temperature spikes include natural phenomena like the 2022 volcanic eruption in Tonga and increased solar activity. However, these challenge the “settled” narrative attributing every deviation to human activity.
He concludes by criticising “luxury middle-class beliefs” driving collectivist climate policies that disregard human costs.
