Dr. Sc. Ferdinand Meeus stated that the report confirmed by the IPCC, according to him, showed no measured increase in weather extremes such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, and wildfires. He said that this information was in a technical chapter that, according to him, almost no one read, but which he himself had consulted. As a source, he mentioned the "IPCC report: AR6, WG1, Ch12, Table 12.12, p1856." https://t.co/YfooGJbZB1 #klimaat #wetenschap #feiten (translated)

Hans van Tellingen referred to the NOS news coverage about flooding and wildfires in Spain as a journalistic failure and disputed the suggestion that climate change was to blame. He wrote that, in his view, wildfires were not occurring more frequently and that there was even a slight downward trend. He also stated that autumn flooding in Spain would not increase. Van Tellingen pointed to DANA, a natural phenomenon that, according to him, has affected Spain for centuries, and argued that poor water management worsened the effects. He asked whether Franco had diverted the Turia River in the 1950s to protect Valencia from flooding. Van Tellingen described himself as a geographer and data expert. #klimaatverandering #journalistiek #overstromingen (translated)
