The Spectacular Cricket World Cup and The Climate Undertone

by Vijay Jayaraj

July 24, 2019

The cricket world cup ended earlier this month after an amazing final between the hosts England and New Zealand. The tournament entertained fans across the world, but not without drama.

Rain and the unusually cold start to the summer resulted in cancellation of key games in the earlier part of the tournament. It revealed a larger climate truth, one that is contrary to the propaganda peddled by the UK’s liberal mainstream media.

Cricket is very similar to baseball. Pitchers pitch the ball and the batters hit the ball, with the maximum score awarded when the ball goes out of play. Like baseball, different cities and states within a country have their respective teams. But the most watched event in cricket is its flagship world cup tournament, where different countries compete against each other.

The pitch is a key part of cricket, and the players prefers dry surface. However, this year, the pitches were damp. The dampness was blamed on excessive rain and the cold weather.

Aren’t Britons supposed to experience warmer summers and scorching heatwaves because of climate change?

While the rest of my friends were keen on understanding the performance of different teams, I couldn’t help noticing the weather conditions that were totally in contrast to what were forecasted by the climate alarmists.

This is not just a localized phenomenon in England, but a global one. The popular media are constantly warning people about hotter summers and moderate winters because of global warming.

They were, and still are, wrong.

Global warming slowed down in the early 2000s. No one knows why, but the pause or “hiatus” was acknowledged by scientists after their model predictions (in the past 20 years) failed to match real-world temperatures by a very significant margin.

The media warmings are based on these faulty model predictions and hence won’t transpire in the real world. Their desperate attempts to promote a climate doomsday narrative motivate them to make unrealistic warnings about weather and climate.

In fact, in the first six months of 2019, historic lows were recorded in many places of the Northern Hemisphere. A wavy jetstream in June and July delivered contrasting weather spells to many parts of the Northern Hemisphere, including the UK.

This cold spell could be a mere weather phenomenon and have nothing to do with climate. But that does not dismiss the fact that the climate doomsayers’ predictions have always been wrong and completely different to the real world temperatures.

Apart from the El Niño driven extremely hot weather condition in 2016, temperatures in the past 5 years have remained largely stable. Global temperatures dropped in 2017 and have remained lower than 2016 so far this year.

Unfortunately, the cold spell coincided with the cricket world cup, wiping out important games in an unprecedented manner.

Neither the imaginary climate catastrophe nor the burning desire of the doomsayers was able to warm up the pitches or dry the wet ground. The pitches, like the doomsayers’ predictions, remained damp and never materialized into their ideal state.
