The Greatest Living Englishman has turned his ire towards the BBC, and at climate fearmongers in general:
Amazon Prime star Jeremy Clarkson has slammed weather forecasters for spreading what he has described as “green propaganda” in his latest column.
The Clarkson’s Farm presenter, 63, went on to explain that due to inaccurate weather reports, he and many other farmers and been forced to “take a massive financial hit” for “absolutely no reason”.
Jeremy recalled how earlier this week, weather presenters had claimed “an apocalyptic storm would arrive in Britain on Tuesday night”.
The Former Top Gear host went on to explain how, due to predictions of weeks of “torrential rain and gales”, he had felt forced to harvest his crops even though they weren’t ready because the moisture content was too high.
“Yes, I’d have to pay £10 a ton to dry the grain after it was harvested but better to take that hit than have the whole lot ruined by the storm,” he wrote in his column for the Sun.
“We worked tirelessly until 11pm and when I finally crawled into bed, utterly exhausted, I noticed that all of my neighbouring farmers were still out here, doing the same thing.”
Here’s what he was talking about:
But:
The ex-BBC star went on to express his outrage when he had expected to see “Armageddon” the next morning only to be greeted by “blue skies and a gentle breeze”.
“So the farmers had brought in their harvest early and taken a massive financial hit that they can’t afford… for absolutely no reason,” Jeremy fumed.
So he lashed out.
“They feel compelled, when it’s warm, to paint their maps dark red and talk about ‘extreme heat’. And similarly, to keep Greta and the snowflake army happy, they need to say when it’s a bit chilly, that we will all soon be buried under a 20-foot snow drift,” he complained.
“They see their weather forecasts now as political weapons. Baseball bats which can be used to beat the oil companies into submission. And they’ll mangle statistics if that’s what’s necessary.”
He then went on to beg weather forecasters to share “the truth” with farmers and to save their “propaganda forecasts” for people who need to “turn the heating down”.
“They think that the constant wrongness doesn’t matter, because a wonky weather forecast only affects people planning barbecues,” he stated. “But to farmers, it bloody well does matter.”
Frankly, if I were a British farmer, I’d subscribe to an actual meteorogical service and learn to interpret the data for myself.
And refuse to pay the BBC license fee, like millions of other Brits are doing.
Your next to last sentence is the reality these days. If the truth is important to you, plan on paying established entities for it. Everything else is utter bullshit backed by some sort of “ulterior motive”.
We watched the first 2 seasons of the Clarkson Farm show and found it enjoyable though the language is difficult at times and we’re looking forward to the 3rd.
In every episode Clarkson is confronted with another incident of outsiders in various forms attempt to make his life more difficult in many ways. The larger your enterprise the more difficult it gets.
The world today, it seems, is covered in tyrants of all size and stripes and without exception all of them need a good public caning.
on another (but similar) note:
we’re paying physicians to see to our continuing good health – and all they recommend is that we get vaxxed.
MD’s: They seemed to be much more helpful when they told us:
“Take two aspirin and call me in the morning!”
“Frankly, if I were a British farmer, I’d subscribe to an actual meteorogical service and learn to interpret the data for myself.”
Nice in theory, but there aren’t any of those left.
I’ve worked (as a contractor) for the Dutch equivalent of the Met/NOAA, effectively the only source of weather and climate information in the Netherlands. They’re corrupted to the core by the global warming ideology, to the point that they scour their historical data in order to purge it of any records that show it was warmer in the past than it is today.
Their sole “competitor” in the country does the same thing.
There was a picture going around FaschistBook showing two weather maps. The temperatures were pretty much the same with some variation of a degree or two but still very close. The older picture showed the typical green and tan background of Europe and the current picture showed various danger shades of red and orange. No doubt Global cooling, acid rain, global warming, climate change whatever they call their cult these days, is being spread as propaganda rather than any real facts. About the only thing that is true on the news anymore are structure fires, car accidents and sports scores because people haven’t figured out how to politicize these events. Yet.
