Happy Christmas!
December 25, 2023
By Paul Homewood
I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
In the spirit of Christmas, I think we should help the Met Office select the next lot of silly names for storms.
Here are a few ideas – please feel free to add some more!!
Silly Names:
Alarmist
Breeze
Climategate
Farage
Greta
Hysteria
In-a-tea-cup
Viner
Xi

… and a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too Paul.
Thank you for all that you do.
And so say all of us !
Fabricated
Fake
False
Fallacious
Faulty
Fictitious

And those are just the f-in ones.
Plus 8
Merry Christmas everyone
Please add ‘Trooper’ to the list .
Many thanx for your continued and high quality output.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a Prosperous New Year!
It took me a minute to work that out!!
‘Farage’ because?
Storm Brexit
Gustavo Fring
How about Mann?
We should have mixed feelings about the Son of Mann…..
What about “Gummer”?
Best wishes and thong you for your diligent investigations and exposes.
For Americans, try Trump or Biden. For Canadians, try Trudeau or Guilbeault.

Ted, if we are going to name one “Storm Trump” then it must come after “Storm Edaniels”!
Merry Christmas
I’ve heard they call the wind “Mariah”
Way out here they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire’s Joe
And they call the wind Maria
Merry Christmas Paul. Thanks for all the work.
Bob
Wadhams
Thanks for all you do Paul.
Merry Christmas and. Happy 2024 to you and yours.
Storm Cytokine?
Storm und Drang?
Happy Christmas, Paul!
Happy Christmas all and Appreciation to Mr Homewood.
How about storms Pinky and Perky?
Paul! Thanks so much for your witty and scholarly put-downs of climate hysteria and the totally infeasible “net zero” religionists. These mostly threaten the economies of the nations of Europe and North America where only 14% of the Globe’s population lives today. Please k
eep up the good work in 2024!
Storm Fraser ( we’re doomed ). UK contributors will get the joke.
Storm Betts.
Can’t think of anything sillier than that.
If they won’t name one after me, how about Curmudgeon?
Although hackneyed, I favorite has always been, “Stay tuned, after the break, for details on This Week’s: STORM of the CENTURY.” Ho Ho Ho.
That’s why presents are late…Santa is working from ho-ho-home.
Happy Christmas!!!
Storm Innerteekup??
Keep up the good work
Happy Christmas to all sceptics out there…
Windbag, In-A-Teacup, False Alarm
Why don’t they just cut to the chase and go with Sunstroke Saturday, Snowy Sunday, Monsterous Monday, Torrential Tuesday, Windswept Wednesday, Thundery Thursday and Frosty Freaky Flambé Friday ?
Stormy McStormface
Yachstman’s Gale, Happy Christmas and many thanks

Merry Christmas Paul, you do a great job! E
Nope. There got to be a Storm Wanker
I suppose you wouldn’t be allowed a Storm Bollocks.
Likewise. Roger Alsop.
A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you Paul. And the same to all your supporters.
Jolie Breese.
Excellent idea.
Somewhat esoteric, but there are those here who get the reference!
Seasonal nonsense from me.
Some of Paul’s latest approach the detail required by a PhD supervisor .
It’s the level that a newspaper or periodical editor or lobbyists can understand that this is required.
Even the date of the last record prior to the latest disaster ( highs , lows , hot ,colds, precipitation etc ) might be enough to illustrate text and circulated.
Bar and pie charts , trend interpretations and other types of graphic analysis require time and a statistical fluency not usually shown by the Rowlatts of this world.
Then of course there is the closed minds of the absolutely certain and those of the ‘accepted science’ school of scientific debate .
Reminds me of the de-platforming tendency who would avoid the rigours of an enquiring mind. The senior academics with tenure and little to loose seem reluctant to accept the inconvenience of challenging the mob.
The principals or their representatives in 3 US universities recently disgraced themselves in front of a senate committee on a broadly similar issue.
Excellent Paul; if only your suggestions would be accepted in the spirit in which they’re offered!!
Your work is appreciated & shared.
Artefact
Brazen
Contaminated
Devious
Erroneous
Flawed
Gratuitous
Half baked
Irrational

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too!
Merry Christmas Paul & all.
Storm – AsPerUsual
Merry Christmas for Paul and readers; from Adelaide where we had Christmas which was cold and wet, supposedly the coolest for 19 years.
I don’t know what happened to our (from the Weather Bureau) “long hot summer”.
So many years of reading your blog – and a free education. So many thanks, Professor! My wish for the New Year is that you can open the eyes of those who WILL not see.
I am advocating for Net Zero ignorance.
Happy New Year, Paul. Thank you.
Hear, hear, bravo Paul, fabulous work, we’re all behind you!
‘In his second Christmas address to the nation since ascending to the throne, King Charles III beseeched Britons and those worldwide to “protect the earth”, continuing his longstanding green agenda advocacy.’
Unlike Elizabeth II’s, which were a joy to hear.
Can’t say I’ve ever been ‘beseeched.’ Does it hurt? Can you take something for it, without a prescription?
There a well known drug called Republicanism that works wonders.
It’s so lacking in context and understanding anyway. In a few million years it will be as if we never existed and in a few hundred million years the Earth won’t exist at all. Who knows how many major extinctions will happen before then. In 50 million years, Antarctica will be far north with no ice at all and presumably sea levels will be much, much higher. This obsession with 50 or 100 years of billions of years is ridiculous.
Few *billion* years to become a red dwarf.
I wonder if Charlie gave us an update on how his great climate prediction was getting on? Somebody pointed out that we referred to Her Late Majesty as ‘The Queen’ but it is always ‘King Charles’……says something.
It’s hardly a great surprise that he carries on spouting the same garbage as when he was next in line. He’s that stupid he didn’t he learn the basic constitutional fundamentals of his inherited role.
GC…I really feel the Monarchy I had defended (literally) has become nothing but a pawn of the (you name it). Sadly, his son is probably going to go the same way.
Paul you must get better traction. I wish.
Are the BBC reacting to complaints?
Beijing shivers through coldest December on record
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-67818872
Would this story have appeared in the recent past?
Would these have been the final sentences?
“One possible reason given for the cold snap is a weakening in the Polar Vortex – an expanse of cold air that normally sits around the Arctic – allowing the air to move further south than normal.
However, there is debate among scientists about what part climate change plays in this.”
If the climate changes, climate change plays a pretty big part in that!
Strange to be uncertain about the Polar Vortex when the science is ‘settled’.
Well I see they have recorded the highest minimum temperature ever for Xmas day. I’m away to think about that.
At Exeter Airport. And other claimed records are also at airports or at former air bases that have been redeveloped with thousands of houses and commercial premises. As we all know, every record site has been contaminated with UHI.
Happy Christmas to you Paul, keep up the good council!
