The ice-free arctic cabal has had a rough go of it. They’ve been promising us a view of that mythical beast for decades. We’ve even got rising global CO2 for bait, and yet still, there have been no sightings. That hasn’t stopped the parade of predictions even when confronted with this inconvenient truth:
Every summer, this thing called the sun points more directly at the top of the world. There’s a lot of ice up there, and some of it melts—every summer. When the sun is less direct, it freezes again. And just as the sun rises, the Climate Cult has returned to the ice-free arctic narrative again.
Nothing says “global warming” like unexpectedly cold temperatures. That’s why they rebranded is climate change and then climate chaos and then super random weather that’s your fault, no matter what. And it matters, especially to the freighters trapped in arctic sea ice that’s not supposed to be there.
Passengers had to be evacuated to safety when their ship got trapped in arctic ice last week. The intrepid voyagers were concerned about, you guessed it, global warming and melting polar ice.
Tony Heller at Real Climate Science has a great post about the nearly century-old tradition of declaring that the Arctic will be ice-free by some arbitrary point in time after today.
Al Gore famously launched the climate-carbon crisis campaign with his alarmist proclamations of “inconvenient truths” about human warming of the planet. His repeated gaffes have since undermined his credibility, making “the boy who cried climate wolf” howl ever louder.
A bear perched precariously on a bit of ice snapped climate Cult twigs that sent us spiraling into a period of OMG, Ice-Free Summers, the Polar Bears will go extinct – and YOU DID THIS. Did you do it in the Early Holocene for 1600 consecutive years, 11 700 years ago?
Jet-setting elites and politicos tell us the world is in danger. CO2 is choking the atmosphere. Cheap, abundant energy is to blame. And if we do not act soon, the earth will reach a tipping point of no return. Again. No, I meant now. Okay, in x number of years. Not those years, these years.
My children have never lived in a world where politicians didn’t use the weather to advance socialism. One of the divine prophesies that undergirds the Church of the Commie Climate Cult is melting polar ice and sea rise.
Imagine an animal rights activist telling you that black bears eating trash in New England neighborhoods were signs of global warming. It’s actually a sign of people leaving trash out and bears discovering how much easier it is to find food. But that’s not how the narrative works.
While it’s on my mind I should comment on a couple of letters in the Laconia Daily Sun where the writers lament our failure to buy into their climate change hysteria. Seems they believe all the disaster scenarios produced over the past 20-some years are cascading into reality. Frankly, I do not see it.
The irrefutable hypothesis of Global Warming has undergone some interesting evolutions in the decades since it’s “discovery.” By discovery I mean, the opportunity to use the weather to raise taxes and grow global government. By evolution I mean the necessary name-change gymnastics intended to keep the long con from collapsing.
The Danish Meteorological Institute’s most recent data shows Arctic Sea Ice Extent rapidly approaching the 1981-2000 mean. Rapidly. But if you Google “Arctic Sea ice 2018” you will find a series of headlines on the subject of the 2018 arctic minimum. I didn’t search the annual arctic minimum. In the absence of other details “minimum” was … Read more
The politicization of the climate continues to get column inches at Granitegrok because it is not just one of the finest examples of Leftist hypocrisy in modern history but one where they are fully committed. Just search our pages for the proof of this contradiction in their own words. The summation of which is, weather … Read more
Global Warming theory claims that carbon dioxide generated by man-made activity is dooming the planet. The solution is to let the government use your money to pay “scientists” to produce “results” that support this conclusion so politicians can raise taxes and expand government intervention to address the “problem.” The problem with the problem is not just that … Read more
We haven’t tweaked the Climate Cult nearly enough of late so here’s some ice to chew on. It’s the NOAA passive microwave dataset. This method of measurement shows the approximate annual Arctic sea-ice extent at the top of the world. As you can see predictions of an abrupt and unstoppable ice-free Arctic appear exaggerated compared … Read more
The Ice-Free Arctic narrative continues to struggle as both expert, and armchair predictions come up “short” again and again. The Danish Meteorological Institute reports that Arctic Sea ice volume is above the 15-year mean and at an 11-year high. Some may say, so what?
We should be thankful…that a majority of people outside the bubbled-elite do not regularly buy into the weaponized fear-mongering of climate alarmists like this turkey. He, like many other enlightened scribblers reporting the words of “Experts™,” have been wrong about more things more times than we can count. But that doesn’t stop them from trying.
Experts have been saying things for years that have turned out to be false but only recently have they demanded millions in taxpayer dollars (year after year) and an unimpeachable devotion to the scientism of the Climate Cult, despite them and their models being wrong about everything. With that in mind, we remind you that as 2018 approaches … Read more
