Browse: Home / 2023 / July / 19 / Europe’s “48°C Horror That Never Was”…ESA, Media Sharply Criticized For Manipulative Reporting Europe’s “48°C Horror That Never Was”…ESA, Media Sharply Criticized For Manipulative Reporting By P Gosselin on 19. July 2023 Share this... “The most intense climate lie”: Last week it was all over the news: Temperatures in southern Europe skyrocketing to 48°C! But none of it was true. Yesterday, the ESA issued a (vague) clarification explaining the difference between surface and air temperature at 2 meters above ground, yet continued to mislead: Land surface temperature is how hot the ‘surface’ of Earth feels to the touch. Air temperature, given in our daily weather forecasts, is a measure of how hot the air is above the ground.” The ESA did not bother to mention how the surface temperature is much hotter than the 2 meter air temperature. “Most intense climate lie” “What we experienced over the past days was most intense climate lie since temperature recording began,” reported Germany’s Achtung Reichelt here on the implications of the ESA’s sloppy, manipulative press release and the media firestorm that ensued: “The problem with that report is that none of it is true.” In Sicily the temperature reached only 32°C over the weekend – a far cry from 48°C, which illustrates the great difference between ground surface temperature and readings taken 2 meters above the ground. Once the trickery was exposed, Spiegel quietly changed the wording in its July 14 report: Image cropped from Achtung Reichelt. Spiegel changed the text (left) from 48°C with “many heat deaths” over to (right): “48°C …but that the measurements were not the usual air temperature – which can be considerably lower.” It’s clear that the authorities and media tries to pull a fast one on the public, but were caught again thanks to careful readers. |

I am unsure about this article as I don't see a link reference to the ESA news article unless I am missing it (?). From what I could find in an online query there is a news story from ESA on this but it's from a couple of years ago and regards a map like shown. I did not save that article link but I do recall looking at it. I have noticed from time to time past news is recycled for views or past news made as if to look current sometimes. |

48 degrees C, oh ya that's 118 F the last few days average temp in Phoenix AZ. I am sure that somewhere along the lines it felt like 118 degrees F. so that's what starting fires in Greece? I for would not doubt it. and it's going to get warmer yet! |

Phoenix is a desert! It always gets hot there, especially Death Valley! and now especially since more people, concrete, roads, population, use of electricity and yes a/c's running non stop, water use and yes it is hotter than usual. El Nino factors in as well as reported by scientists. And posted link to that here too. And yes, its climate change! |

Overall, we rate NoTricksZone a pseudoscience blog based on the publication of climate change disinformation opposing the consensus of science. Detailed Report Bias Rating: RIGHT PSEUDOSCIENCE Factual Reporting: LOW Country: Germany Press Freedom Rating: MOSTLY FREE Media Type: Website Traffic/Popularity: Minimal Traffic MBFC Credibility Rating: LOW CREDIBILITY NoTricksZone often publishes stories with emotional wording to influence the reader. For example, they often use the term “alarmist” to describe those who support the consensus of science, such as this: Alarmist Scientist “Way Off Target” …Arctic Sea Ice/European Winter Claim Refuted By Newly Published Study. They also attempt to personally discredit people based on character traits such as this: Expert Psychiatrist: Greta Being “Misused For Interests” … Parents’ Promotion Of Troubled Child “Ethically Problematic.” When it comes to climate science, they often publish alternative theories for global warming, such as sunspots. They also offer a blogroll that consists of other climate skeptics such as the Climate Depot, Judith Curry, and Climate Dispatch. In general, NoTricksZone is a human-influenced climate change denial pseudoscience website...(list of failed fact checks at site) |

"By P Gosselin on 19. July 2023 Share this… Facebook Twitter “The most intense climate lie”: Last week it was all over the news: Temperatures in southern Europe skyrocketing to 48°C! But none of it was true. Surface temperature chart: European Space Agency (ESA) The hysteria was started when climate sensationalist media outlets in Germany and elsewhere, like the Relotius Spiegel, uncritically cited […]" This was a writer who posted about the fake claims made by Relotius Spiegel. Check this out. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46666389 https://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/claas- relotius-reporter-forgery-scandal-a-1244755.html Der Spiegel 'fake news' reporter could face charges Published 23 December 2018 DER SPIEGEL Reveals Internal Fraud A DER SPIEGEL reporter committed large-scale journalistic fraud over several years. Internal clues and research have provided significant evidence against reporter Claas Relotius, who has since admitted to the falsifications and is no longer employed by DER SPIEGEL. Other media organizations may also have been affected. https://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/claas- relotius-reporter-forgery-scandal-a-1244755.html Shortly before the end of his journalistic career, misery and glamor crossed paths in the life of Claas Relotius. On the evening of Monday, Dec. 3, Relotius, who had worked for DER SPIEGEL for seven years and had been employed as an editor for the past year and a half, was called onto a stage in Berlin. The jury for the 2018 German Reporter Prize was once again of the opinion that he had written the best feature story of the year, this one about a Syrian boy who lived with the belief that he had contributed to the country's civil war through a graffito he had daubed onto a wall in Daraa. The jurors praised the article for its "unparalleled lightness, intimacy and relevance that is never silent regarding the sources on which it is based." The truth, however -- a truth that nobody could have known at that point in time -- is that his sources were anything but clear. Indeed, it is likely that much of it was made up. Inventions. Lies. Quotes, places, scenes, characters: All fake. That misery came in the form of an email, one which, as chance will have it, arrived some 17 hours before the glamor of the awards ceremony, at 3:05 a.m. The message came from a woman named Jan, short for Janet, who was doing media work for a vigilante group in Arizona conducting patrols along the border to Mexico. She asked Relotius -- who two weeks earlier had written an article ostensibly about this vigilante group in the darkly dazzling DER SPIEGEL report "Jaeger's Border" -- what exactly he was up to. How, she wanted to know, could Relotius have written about her group without even bothering to stop by for an interview? She found it very strange, she wrote, that a journalist would write stories without gathering facts locally. The story "Jaeger's Border" would prove to be Relotius' undoing. It was one fabricated story too many, because this time, he had a co-author, who sounded the alarm while also collecting facts to counter his fiction. That co-author, Juan Moreno, has been traveling the world as a reporter for DER SPIEGEL since 2007. In the dispute with and surrounding Relotius, Moreno risked his own job, at times even desperately seeking to re- report his colleague's claims at his own expense. Moreno would go through three or four weeks of hell because his colleagues and senior editors in Hamburg didn't initially believe that Relotius could be nothing more than a liar. In late November and into early December, some at DER SPIEGEL even believed that Moreno was the real phony and that Relotius was the victim of slander. Relotius skillfully parried all allegations and all of Moreno's well-researched evidence, constantly coming up with new ways of sowing doubt, plausibly refuting accusations and twisting the truth in his favor. Until, ultimately, his tricks stopped working. Until he could no longer sleep at night for fear that he might get caught. Relotius caved in last week when a superior, Özlem Gezer, deputy head of the "Gesellschaft" section where he worked, confronted him and told him outright that she no longer believed him. On Thursday, he sat down with his section head and the editor-in-chief and came clean -- or at least his version of clean. It has now become clear that Claas Relotius, 33 years old, one of DER SPIEGEL's best writers, winner of multiple awards and a journalistic idol of his generation, is neither a reporter nor a journalist. Rather, he produces beautifully narrated fiction. Truth and lies are mixed together in his articles and some, at least according to him, were even cleanly reported and free of fabrication. Others, he admits, were embellished with fudged quotes and other made-up facts. Still others were entirely fabricated. During his confession on Thursday, Relotius said, verbatim: "It wasn't about the next big thing. It was the fear of failure." And: "The pressure not to fail grew as I became more successful." A Crude Mishmash That crude mishmash, which looked like masterful works of feature writing, transformed him into one of the most successful journalists in Germany in recent years. It earned Relotius the German Reporter Prize on four different occasions, the Peter Scholl Latour Prize and the Konrad-Duden, the Kindernothilfe and the Catholic and Coburger media awards. He was named CNN "Journalist of the Year," he was honored with the Reemtsma Liberty Award, the European Press Prize and he even landed on the Forbes magazine list of the "30 under 30 - Europe: Media." One wonders how he could endure the praise at the award ceremonies without running out of the hall in shame.
