NASA Credibility Melting At 100% Per Decade

NASA says Arctic sea ice is rapidly melting and that satellite observations of the ice began in 1979.

“Summer Arctic sea ice extent is shrinking by 12.6% per decade as a result of global warming.”

“This graph shows the size of the Arctic sea ice each September since satellite observations started in 1979.”

The 1990 IPCC report told a different story, which made it clear why NASA is hiding all the data prior to the peak year of 1979.

“satellite observations have been used to map sea-ice extent routinely since the early 1970s …. in 1972-1975 sea-ice extent was significantly less”

The Nimbus-5 satellite was launched in 1972. One of its purposes was to map surface ice.

“The data from the microwave instruments will also be helpful to ships operating in the Arctic and Antarctic regions,” said Dr. Nordberg. “Thin clouds, such as cirrus and stratus which are predominate in the polar regions, are relatively transparent in the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

“We plan to map surface ice and water with the microwave sensors aboard Nimbus-E and we might even be able to differentiate between the old and more recently formed ice,” Dr. Nordberg said.”

Ice extent was even lower in the 1950s.

In 2008, NASA’s leading climate experts predicted the Arctic would be ice-free between 2012 and 2018. Since then there has been no trend in Arctic sea ice.
