What Happened To 'Europe's Most Extreme Heatwave Ever'?

This is what Europe looks like today and it’s forecast to be below average temperature for the next few days, then a return to average temperatures across the continent. After the New year heat bonanza things quickly returned to normal. So where is the ‘new normal’? Did the ‘climate crisis’ just pop its head up in Europe to say hello at the beginning of 2023 and then go away again? Of course it didn’t. Such fluctuations in weather have always occurred. The difference now is our obsession with measuring alleged ‘record breaking temperatures’ using digital thermometers which can capture fleeting maximum temperatures for just 1 second, sited in weather stations which are increasingly encroached upon by urban developments, often at international airports, with modern jets taking off and landing all the time. I’m not saying this is the sole cause of these brief episodes of ‘record-breaking temperatures’, but it must at least play a part. Supposedly, digital thermometer readings are averaged over a minute to make them consistent with old mercury thermometer readings, but it seems the Bureau of Meteorology in Australia ‘forgot’ to do this. Weaponising extreme weather as evidence of a ‘climate crisis’ is a fool’s game. You only have to look at the map above. If ‘global warming’ caused the heatwave across Europe in early January, what is causing the icy weather across Europe now?
At the beginning of my career in IT almost 30 years ago I applied for a job at NOAA in Boulder Colorado. I took a brief tour of the massive and expensive computer hardware they had then grinding away at "weather models". The running joke then was they were almost able to forecast beyond 24 hours with an over 50% accuracy average. I bet in the billions of dollars spent since and thousands of man hours wasted they've improved that to 52%.
Weather has always been the big scary boogeyman used by countless sociopathic "leaders" over the past 50,000 years to keep the proles in line.

Gaming of data and measurements seems to be what the role of university scientist is about!!!
