[h=2]Alarmist PIK Refuted, New Published Papers Call Claim Mass Migration Is Climate-Related “Misleading”…”Simplistic”[/h]By P Gosselin on 30. November 2019
[h=2]PIK under fire: Concept of a climate-caused mass migration not tenable[/h]

(German text translated/edited by P Gosselin)
We keep hearing again and again how climate change is one of the main causes of migration. But when you ask those affected whether the climate in their home country was the cause of flight, they usually look at you in awe and shake their heads violently: “There’s war, and you can no longer live there” is the recurring answer. “And the war is NOT caused by climate”.
In the propaganda battle, every means is justified. In 2018 the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) proudly reported that its employee Jacob Schewe was co-author of this World Bank report. After reading the opening thesis “Climate change has become one of the main drivers of emigration…,” the matter was settled.

Or was it really? Two recent papers show that this is not the case at all.
On November 26, 2019, a paper by Ingrid Boas from Wageningen University (Netherlands) and her colleagues appeared in “Nature Climate Change”. It clarifies that all such “myths” have been spread without any science so far. In the article, they call for the facts to be dealt with scientifically, and make it clear at the end:
Instead of having policy dictate the priorities of science, resulting in self-perpetuating false claims about climate-induced migration, the science policy process needs to allow careful and critical evidence-seeking research to indicate the main challenges ahead.”
Also another paper dismissing climate change causes mass migration has been published – by Nature. Abstract by Boas et al. in 2019 nature climate change:
Climate migration myths
Misleading claims about mass migration induced by climate change continue to surface in both academia and policy. This requires a new research agenda on ‘climate mobilities’ that moves beyond simplistic assumptions and more accurately advances knowledge of the nexus between human mobility and climate change.”

“To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”
– Mark Twain
Experts say that birds are shrinking and disappearing in North America, and that it is due to climate change – which is what they expected to find.

The article specifically blamed summer temperatures.
The National Climate Assessment shows that summer temperatures have gotten much cooler in the US over the past century.

The US has been cooling for a century.

Everyone is so busy defending the past claims of climate science being too naive or that new science answers everything.

I'm inclined to ask, anyone have a list of the science claims that have proven true? I mean, the world ends roughly 1 or 2 times a year and all, but is there anyone out there who said "The temp will rise .02 degrees and we might notice by 2020"?

A few examples of anyone who got anything right by now would be welcome.

German 2019 Weather-Related Insured Damage BELOW AVERAGE For 6th Consecutive Year!

By P Gosselin on 8. January 2020

Hat-tip: Die kalte Sonne

In 2019, weather-related events in Germany caused insured damage to houses, household contents, commerce, industry and motor vehicles amounting to 3.2 billion euros. This is the result of preliminary figures published in a press release by the German Insurance Association (GDV).
The level is thus at the previous year’s level and below the long-term average of around 3.7 billion euros.
“Despite the storm and hail damage to motor vehicles, the overall natural hazard balance is slightly below average”, said GDV President Wolfgang Weiler.
What follows is the GDV annual chart for weather-related damage (in 2019- based euros):

Insured damage has been below the average for 6 consecutive years, despite, the alarming tones one reads in the GDV press release.
There were also fewer losses due to storms and heavy rain in property insurance. Windstorm and hail and other natural hazards such as heavy rain caused damage amounting to EUR 2.2 billion, which is below the long-term average of EUR 2.7 billion.

“The below-average balance should not hide the fact that there have been repeated heavy local rains with high damages”, Weiler said. “All in all, the year 2019 stands for a number of severe storms, great heat and severe local flooding and is therefore characteristic of extreme weather in Germany as well.”
Experts: Central Europe weather “not more extreme”
Meanwhile Die kalte Sonne site here comments:
Fact: The weather in Central Europe has NOT become more extreme. The only exception is heat waves. The Austrian Central Institute for Meteorology (ZAMG) states that a trend towards more extreme weather in Austria is generally not noticeable:
‘It should be anticipated from the detailed discussion of the development of extreme values in the following sections heat (air temperature) heavy precipitation (precipitation) and storms (wind) that all in all the climate has not become more extreme in the last 200 years. According to the only suitable basis for this assertion – long and quality-checked measurement data – climate variability in Southern Central Europe remained the same or even decreased’.
A similar assumption can be made for the neighboring country Germany. For transparency reasons, the German Insurance Association (GDV) should finally admit this to its customers. Instead, the press release concludes with an advertising message that citizens should please insure themselves even more comprehensively against extreme weather.”
