Japanese media suffer from climate change fantasies too

The Japanese 
mass media

claim the 
sea surface 

temperatures 
around Japan 

are warming, 
due to CO2.

The data tell 
the opposite story.

Sea surface temperatures 

around Japan cooled 
after the huge 1998 El Nino
heat peak, then peaked again 
with the next huge El Nino,

in late 2015 / early 2016 ...
and are cooling again.
(An El Nino is a Pacific Ocean 
cyclical heat release, 
unrelated to CO2 )

The trend, 

for the past 
21 years, 

has been
relatively
flat, between 
the El Nino
heat releases:

The Japanese 
mass media 
claim the number 
of typhoons 

is also on the rise.

But data from JMA 

tell the opposite story.

The number of typhoons

has been trending down

modestly for many decades, 

even though atmospheric 

CO2 concentrations 

have increased:

Conclusion"
The Japanese 
mass media 

cannot be trusted

on the subject of

climate change.
