“A ground-breaking project to suck carbon out of the sea has started operating on England’s south coast.

The small pilot scheme, known as SeaCURE, is funded by the UK government as part of its search for technologies that fight climate change.

There’s broad consensus among climate scientists that the overwhelming priority is to cut greenhouse gas emissions, the chief cause of global warming.”

Could taking carbon out of the sea cool down the planet?

Our top government scientists and politicians predicted an ice-free Arctic by 2014.

Gore: Polar ice cap may disappear by summer 2014

I applied the same robust approach to calculate that Tesla stock price will drop to zero this summer.

During 2011 Obama/Biden science advisor John Kerry said the Arctic would be ice free by 2013, and that we only had until the year 2021 to save the planet.

“Scientists tell us we have a 10-year window — if even that — before catastrophic climate change becomes inevitable and irreversible. The threat is real, and time is not on our side.

Facts, as John Adams said, are stubborn things. Here are a few you need to know: Atmospheric carbon-dioxide levels have risen 38% in the industrial era, from 280 to 385 parts per million (ppm). Scientists have warned that anything above 450 ppm — a warming of 2 degrees Celsius — will result in an unacceptable risk of catastrophic climate change.

The truth is that the threat we face is not an abstract concern for the future. It is already upon us and its effects are being felt worldwide, right now. Scientists project that the Arctic will be ice-free in the summer of 2013. Not in 2050, but four years from now.”

On April 21, 1980 it was 100F (38C) at Ada, Minnesota. Over the last 50 years, April temperatures there have plummeted at a rate of nineteen degrees per century. The last time Ada reached 90F during April was 1992.

April temperatures at Ada were stable from 1920 to 1971. Then they rose sharply into the mid 1980’s, and have since plummeted about ten degrees.

The UK could drop off the map and have no impact on atmospheric CO2 levels.  Their Net Zero plans have a benefit/cost ratio of zero.

In 1989, NOAA said most global warming occurred before 1919 and declined from 1921 to 1979.

“Analysis of the warming since 1881 shows most of the increase in global temperature happened before 1919 — before the more recent sharp rise in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, said Thomas Karl, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C.
While global climate warmed overall since 1881, it actually cooled from 1921 to 1979, Karl said.”

Since then they have reversed both of those trends and erased the record heat of 1921.

“Monthly Weather Review – November, 1922 (Page 589)

The Arctic seems to be warming up. Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers who sail the seas about Spitzbergen and the eastern Arctic, all point to a radical change in climatic conditions, and hitherto unheard-of high temperatures in that part of the earth’s surface.

In connection with Dr. Hoel’s report, it is of interest to note the unusually warm summer in Arctic Norway and the observations of Capt. Martin Ingebrigtsen, who has sailed the eastern Arctic for 54 years past. He says that he first noted warmer conditions in 1918, that since that time it has steadily gotten warmer, and that to-day the Arctic of that region is not recognizable as the same region of 1868 to 1917.
Many old landmarks are so changed as to be unrecognizable.

Where formerly great masses of ice were found, there are now often moraines, accumulations of earth and stones. At many points where glaciers formerly extended far into the sea they have entirely disappeared.

There were few seal in Spitzbergen waters this year, the catch being far under the average. This, however, did not surprise the captain. He pointed out that formerly the waters about Spitzbergen held an even summer temperature of about 3° Celsius; this year recorded temperatures up to 15°, and last winter the ocean did not freeze over even on the north coast of Spitzbergen.”

Google Gemini heaps praise on the “world’s most eminent climate scientists.”

In the 1990 IPCC Report they showed Arctic sea ice increasing from 1973 to 1990.

“satellite observations have been used to map sea ice extent routinely since the early 1970s.

in 1972-1975 sea ice extent was significantly less.”

In the 2001 IPCC Report they showed sea ice declining during that same time period, and mislabeled the graph in the 6th dimension (10² x km6)

Afternoon temperatures at Toledo, Iowa have been declining since the 19th century at a rate of 2F per century. They used to get days over 105F fairly often, but it hasn’t happened since 1940. Their hottest day was 109F on July 24, 1901

Toledo is a well sited rural station located in Central Iowa.

In their GHCN database, NOAA alters the temperature trend at Toledo (USC00138296) to change it from cooling into warming

In order to create their imaginary warming trend, NOAA cools past temperatures by as much as 3.7F and warms recent temperatures 1.15F.
