Selling Something in Rich Color

I try not to criticize German public TV much (I know my rate is somewhere around 1 to 2 criticisms per day).  This came up via the public TV weather people. 

So the top weather image is from 21 June 2017.  You will notice the temperatures are mostly in the 31-to-36 C temperature range....which I regard as generally hot.  But remember, I'm from Alabama, and for me....40 C is the breaking point. 

With shade, light clothing and hydration....34 C is not that bad.  

The second image is from same date, in 2022. The temperatures are mostly 22 to 28 C.  But you notice the rich RED color....to indicate 'heat'?

It's a funny thing....you can take naïve people and blend in color like this, and then hype 'climate-change'....when in 2017....it was hotter, and no rich colors used.

Adding to this comedy....in some places around Germany with 22 C (71 F)....you will notice Germans wearing light jackets and long pants....telling you it's just too cool for them.

Until you've bailed/hauled hay and spend an entire afternoon in 98 F temperature with 70-percent humidity....you don't know what hot is.

Did you actually see both i.e. have recordings of them with your own eyes live? They look like someone's doctored them to get eyeballs on Facebook or Twitter...

Yep, a quick Google reveals that it's fake. Who would have thought something propagated by the AfD would lack integrity!
