Arctic Sea Ice, and Google’s Search Results “Reality”

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 what Google wanted me to see.

Moving to page two more minimums, questions about whether the ice is returning to normal, and news about the oldest ice breaking up. Google decided that was what I needed to know.

I’m confident that if there are any stories in the old media they are similar. But, odds are they are more interested in how unseasonably warm it is in other parts of the North. A situation we’ve reported here as pointing toward some frigid weather in the US.

But Back to the Ice

From mid-October through November Sea Ice has recovered rapidly. There’s a story in there and not just this one. It’s not interesting enough for the media to cover it.

They could cover it. New sea-ice isn’t old sea ice. If it isn’t sustained and thickened, it will be the first to melt on the way to the next minimum. A precarious set of circumstances.

But they can’t. It might damage something more fragile. The public perception is created by a decades-long propaganda campaign. The Arctic will be ice-free by [blank.]

If we aren’t killing the planet then why bother will all the Marxist prescriptions that empower big government to “save us?”

Nothing to See Here, Move Along. But Just in Case…

Some people still doubt the idea of media-bais, but the proof is as much in what they don’t report as to how they report. What we refer to as the mainstream media has been in the service of the grow-government crowd for more decades than the schooling on those disappearing ice-caps.

Google is the worst of them. A business whose stated goal – in the search business – is to produce the results the searcher will find most relevant. You can’t tell me Google doesn’t know what I’m looking for when I research Arctic Sea Ice. 

There’s also this. Back in June DMI data showed Arctic Sea Ice was an 11-year high for the month. The June before that the sea ice conditions were so hazardous that a Climate Cult Cruise calling itself a science mission to prove there was declining sea ice had to be canceled. Too much sea ice. That’s your fault as well — Climate Change.

The funny thing about that though is it was due to a changing climate. “Weather” that has nothing to do with what you drive or how you live. But they can’t have you suspect that. The funding “extent” for their research might grow thin and then disappear.
