Three days ago, Time Magazine published this article saying that the Swedish COVID response is a disaster, and that they have failed to reduce their coronavirus mortality  rates.

Why the Swedish Model for Fighting COVID-19 Is a Disaster | Time

Sweden currently has one of the lowest mortality rates in the world and it is going down, even as it rises in the rest of Europe.

The dates referenced in the article hit piece are May 7 and June 10.

Total deaths per million in Sweden is less than many places which did hard lockdowns.

And deaths were much lower than forecast.

On October 5, I posted an article titled “Tokyo Island Of Hachijojima Has Seen No Warming Trend For September Since 1915!“, using data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), and I told you the island is almost rural.

Now I will show the mean annual temperatures in the island using the data on NASA website.

If you look at the chart below dating back to 1907 in the GHCN V3 Unadjusted data, you won’t find any significant change in the temperature trend.

In fact, according to GHCN V3 Unadjusted, the island has seen no warming trend since 1927.
But then NASA changed the unadjusted data in the GHCN V4 dataset to make a warming trend.
Even Unadjusted data, there is gap between V3 and V4.

The GHCN V4 adj – homogenized data show a spectacular warming trend.

This sort of thing is well-known among the climate realists.

From Forbes in 2010.

“Why The WHO Faked A Pandemic  The agency needed to bounce back after the avian flu embarrassment.”

“The mildest pandemics of the 20th century killed at least a million people.”

COVID-19 just reached mild epidemic level.

This is deceptive however. The average age of death from COVID-19 is about the same as the average age of death from all other causes, and the vast majority of deaths had multiple comorbidities. So many of the COVID-19 deaths were people who would have died even without COVID-19.

Today, I checked the temperature data from Durban, a city in the South African Province of KwaZulu-Natal.

Looking at the data from the GHCN V2 dataset, we can see the city has had a cooling trend since 1885.

The chart from V2 above has data from 1885 to 1991, so let’s compare that period between the three versions of Unadjusted data.

? GHCN V3 Unadjusted / GHCN V4 Unadjusted

NASA used to claim that GHCN-Unadjusted is the raw data as reported by the weather station.
However, the unadjusted data the agency shows does not look like unadjusted data.

Comparing the GHCN V4 Unadjusted data and the GHCN V4 adj – homogenized data makes the story get even worse.

As you can see, NASA erased a cooling trend and created a warming trend.
