For the record; I do not think that any sea ice will survive this summer. An event unprecedented in human history is today, this very moment, transpiring in the Arctic Ocean. The cracks in the sea ice that I reported on my Sierra Club Canada blog and elsewhere over the last several days have spread and at this moment the entire sea ice sheet (or about 99% of it) covering the Arctic Ocean is on the move. Clockwise. The ice is thin, and slushy, and breaking apart. This is abrupt climate change in real-time. Humans have benefitted greatly from a stable climate for the last 11,000 years or roughly 400 generations. Not any more. We now face an angry climate. One that we have poked in the eye with our fossil fuel stick and awakened. And now we must deal with the consequences. We must set aside our differences and prepare for what we can no longer avoid. And that is massive disruption to our civilizations.
Temperatures in the Arctic are -20C, and the ice is slushy and it will all be gone in a few months. What is this guy smoking?

What is this guy smoking?
I don’t know but I sure as hell want some.
list of objections.
First, do not believe anything that comes from the Sierra Club.
99% obviously two points higher than the standard, “I am completely making this up” 97%
How can you trust a guy who doesn’t even know the correct level of BS ?
I do not believe that he surveyed 99% of the arctic Ice.
None of this is abrupt, except for the jumping up and down and whining about the change of season to a more preferable clime.
The assertion of 11,000 years of stable climate is just a lie.
The “fossil fuels” complaint is just old. And false.
See . . we have our own abundant supply of Climate Nutters,Schemers and Scammers too.
Pretty decent university . . be a lot better off with crazies like this one off the payroll.
I recently sent several studies to a scientist that also claimed that an ice free Arctic summers were, “An event unprecedented in human history is today” on his blog. He retracted his statement after reading the studies I sent. How is it those claiming to understand climate science are unaware that the Arctic was ice free in summers for much of the Early Holocene?
Angry Summer, Angry Climate, Angry Man.
Part-time professor? TA? RA? Listens to Queen and likes the movie Philadelphia? Nuff said about what he smokes. He’s a lifetime college student trying to make a name. Move along.
If only we had some live virgins that we could sacrifice to the “Angry Climate” Gods to appease them… Wouldn’t you know it, live virgins, just like intelligence in the Sierra Club, are in drastically short supply…
Little did we know that we are already “past peak” on virgins, cause we gave 72 away free to every Jihadi, so we are twice doomed……
I have some chickens available for the sacrifice………..
😀
My CO2 producing BBQ awaits your sacrifice.
Do you think Gaia will be upset if I dry rub with some of my Tex Mex mix?
If the ice is slushy, maybe we can make some snow cones. Anyone got some flavored syrup?

Another professor-turned-climate doomsayer who was passed over for a job at McDonald’s. Hey, professor, you want some fries with that prediction?
I do not think that any sea ice will survive this summer. Send me money I’ll tell you more.
This is just one-upsmanship.
The Australian climate nutters claimed we have just had an “Angry Summer”

Now the Canadian climate nutters are going for an “Angry Climate.”
What next?
The nutters are running out of superlatives.

Canada is always trying to be like Australia.
Even copying the way we talk, ay? Love Peter Finch too.

The angry summer was generally a pleasant one, warmer than the cool wet summer we had last year. There were some major flood events though. (The same climate commission, however, had previously been predicting that global warming would cause the country to run out of water by now.)
Look out for the Angry Climate Clouds too!!

His masters are quite pleased with his boldness!
Climate must have an emotion or the sheeple will not understand.
Reminds me of a favorite family story from a number of years ago.
One Christmas Eve my nephew was afraid that Santa would skip his house, because the grownups were staying up too late talking. After several fruitless attempts to convince them it was time for bed, he came rushing down the stairs exclaiming, “I hear bells! I hear bells! Everyone go to bed!”. 😆
“…We now face an angry climate…”
Don’t make it angry. You won’t like it if it gets angry.
“…One that we have poked in the eye with our fossil fuel stick and awakened…”
What is this obsession they have with sticks?
Didn’t their mother tell them not to go around poking things in the eye with sticks?
I can see it now – an angry climate wearing an eye patch, looking for the idiot that poked his eye out.
We don’t need guns, as long as we have fossil fuel sticks to defend ourselves.
What fossil fuel sticks can do to your eye.
