Reuters “fact checked” me without mentioning my name.
They confirmed what I was saying, and then said it was “cherry-picked” data.
Fact Check: Cherry-picked Antarctic ice data does not disprove climate change | Reuters
Ten years ago when Antarctic sea ice was at a record high, academics tried to blame it on global warming.
“So as counterintuitive as expanding winter Antarctic sea ice may appear on a warming planet, it may actually be a manifestation of recent warming. “Both the Arctic and the Antarctic are responding to climate change, and both have areas that are warming rapidly,” explains NSIDC lead scientist Ted Scambos.”

Antarctic sea ice extent at the end of January was about the same as it was during January 1976.

If they’d only fact checked a tiny bit more,
they’d have found out that the 1979 data originates from the ice age scare
and they went so far to protect their arctic ice extent scam that they pretend that there was no arctic satellite data prior to 1978,
though data exists since the mid 60ies.
And this is the biggest cherry pick of them all.
(btw single year averages can be cherry picks too,Mrs Holmes).
Sadly only the more equal animals are allowed to pick cherries.
The less equal pick the cherry stones from the ground.
And a real and hoenest Artic Sea Ice fact check would never be about this stuff,
but about the fact that they are fact checking the impossible..
Arctic Sea Ice and the fact that it shouldn’t be there in 2024 according to experts
and never ever even being remotely close to the Sea Ice extent it had 45 years ago.
Artic Sea Ice is a thing of the past – since 2014(Nobel Prize Proof Date).
But just as with DOGE they absolutely ignore the real scandal and Focus on irrelevant stuff.
As long as it sells Tesla cars, Elon Musk will ostensibly believe in AGW.
Can’t blame him.
He made billions that way.
I’m way cheaper.
I’d believe in Unicorns for a shabby million.
And he paid back well by buying super – overprized Twitter
and restoring frreedom of speech from 10 to 80% ,
which was the most important factor for Trump beating the rigged election and 55mio votes Harris.
+ he is going right now after NOAA(and experts instantly scream that “Lifes will be at risk ” – seems any lefty billion dollar is always for the benefit of the people and never for the private Jet communists who benefit from the fraud).
His climate faith is crumbling.
I’m not so sure he ever had any genuine climate change concerns. Of course I could be wrong, but I think he saw an opening, he went through it and it worked out. I’m not so sure he really even cares about Tesla cars, either. He opportunized on government subsidies, he built the crappy vehicles and he got rich. He seems to be a genius (or at least incredibly lucky) at finding holes and having the right pegs to fit into them at the right time.
By coincidence, the ferry boats at New York City harbor still land at the same docks as they did in 1979. also in 1929. Currently six below zero in South Central Minnesota and that’s without the wind. Thank goodness for global warming otherwise it’d be seven and a half degrees below zero. Actually it will be seven and a half degrees below zero in about an hour or two.
they only focus on the ice in oceans not on land – real scientists say it would take 30-40k years to melt land ice
my guess is Greenland ice and Antarctic ice would take even longer than that to melt. ain’t going to happen but even if it did sea level rise would be comparable to a turtle crawling onto the beach… much slower than the Philadelphia Eagles defense. lol
They don’t understand that the ice is cyclical, nor the irony of their dissonance of voices between the two dates mentioned, yet the ice was almost the same. In general, they aren’t very smart at Reuters, but then, they probably never received a proper education.
Reuters takes their climate alarmism prompts straight from CCN.

What is CCN?
“Covering Climate Now (CCNow) is an advocacy organization operating out of the Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) at Columbia University in New York, USA. Their purpose is to spread fear and alarm about – or as they say “raise public awareness of” — what they claim is a “Climate Emergency” or “Climate Crisis”

If you download the NOAA dataset for Antarctica, the average extent for all of 1979 is 11.719 million square kms (a strange unit but it’s what they are using). That’s only 182 days of data, because many days are missing.
Do the same for 2024 and you get 10.265 million square kms. That’s 360 days of data.
Thus 2024 is about 86% of 1979, when the whole year is in consideration. Enough to suggest that change has happened, over 45 years, not enough to fit the panic predictions of “ice free” or penguin extinction or whatever else they have been waving their hands over.
