BBC Claims Monsoon is ‘Too Wet’ – Two Years After Saying it Was ‘Drying Up’ Due to Climate Change
India’s summer monsoon is without doubt the single major event of the year for the country. A wet summer leads to increased food production, in turn boosting rural incomes.
India’s economy is still heavily dependent on agriculture, which accounts for a fifth of GDP and nearly half of the workforce. A good harvest therefore increases spending power in the wider economy and lowers food prices. On top of that, rainfall fills up the dams, boosting hydro electricity generation. In short, it generates economic growth and boosts the stock market.

Defunding the BBC is probably the most important task for reform after they win the next election, perhaps after lunch on day 1 having stopped the boats in the morning – task anybody here could achieve in a morning. We know what they need to do.
As Professor Humlum’s scholarly analysis shows year after year…

“…Believing that one minor constituent of the atmosphere (CO₂) controls nearly all aspects of climate is amazingly naïve and entirely unrealistic.
…There is no observational evidence for any global climate crisis.
…Our world should consider focussing on much more pressing problems.”
Great reference. Thanks.
India has a population of 1.451 billion people. 1500 of 1.451 billion people dying is a non-event, regardless of the cause. That’s only 5.5% of the number of people which die in India every day.
Water is wet yet again.
Surely nobody takes any notice of the unhinged BBC?
I remember a National Geographic cover photo of an Indian tailor carrying his sewing machine while crossing a monsoon-swollen river up to his neck. That was probably some forty years ago. I suspect the BBC “researchers” can only draw upon much fewer years of experience, such that every year is “unprecedented”.
Political Thinking with Nick Robinson and Claire Coutinho
18th Oct, on BBC Radio 4.The topic was Climate, Identity and Cooking.
Nick suggested that the abandonment of net zero could be seen as some sort of existential threat to humanity. Claire gave an adequate repost in the time available before the discussion turned to identity.
I didn’t listen to the rest of the broadcast as I couldn’t fathom out how the abolition of the Net Zero policy which, if pursued (according to Nick), could endanger our very existence, was given such a cursory examination. Unless, of course, it was intended to dilute Claire’s message and distract the listeners from the existential threat of the Net Zero policy.
There is no doubt the world is experiencing weather manipulation. No one can deny the chem trails, day after day, being spread by aircraft. Professor Willie Soon, an astrophysicist is a good resource for climate science data. Why anyone would use the bbc for anything other than stories about movie stars and royalty, is does not make sense.
Climate activists are using weather fluctuations in either direction. It is human arrogance to assume that our pointless little activities can change the ecosphere of the planet.
Pollution is ours, we need to own it and fix it, but the hysterical nonsense about carbon is ridiculous.
Yes exactly.
The other point is the Hunga Tonga underwater volcanic eruption of 15.01.2022 which put 13% more water vapour into the stratosphere. That which goes up will come down in good time.
