Ice-Free Arctic By 2014

In 2007 and 2009, Al Gore predicted an ice-free Arctic in summer by 2014.

Gore predicts ice-free Arctic sea

Instead of ice-free, the Arctic minimum this year was up 36% since 2012.

    2025 Atlantic hurricane season a total bust. here’s a story on that from a week ago…. see link. currently not a single storm in the Atlantic… so Al Gore was wrong on that too. Al has made himself a fortune by being wrong. https://www.news-journalonline.com/story/weather/hurricane/2025/10/13/when-florida-atlantic-hurricane-season-end/86669104007/

  3. Bob G says:

    there’s a news story the other day about coffee bean prices exploding higher because of frost in Brazil. (sounds like global cooling is a bigger problem than global warming). I decided not to post the link because as I read the story, it blamed heat and drought as well. I can’t tell from the story what actually caused the decline in the Brazil coffee bean harvest. the story does say that things will return to normal in a few years.

    I’ve had an interesting experience my last two visits to my local Walgreens pharmacy. I’ve had Greta Thunberg for a pharmacy clerk. Well, someone who could be Greta’s twin. But I could never actually mistake this young lady for Greta. Why?

    This young lady has a very nice SMILE. Dead giveaway.

  5. Bob G says:

    have you heard the latest on the mysterious object that is hurtling towards the center of our solar system? could be aliens they say. but the latest says it now has a tail. hmmm. don’t ALL comets have tails????

    • Mike Peinsipp says:

      The tail points the WTONG way!!! Plus it temperature signal is weird as hell…hot on the cool side cool on the hot side. Dr Avi Loeb is on NEWSMAX and just listen to him.

    • conrad ziefle says:

      Yeah, someone told me about that, and said that scientists claimed that it was not following the path of an unguided object, i.e. it was doing things that could only happen if it were guided. There has been so much misrepresentation of facts by reporters in every area of knowledge, that I can no longer depend on anything that I hear, and can only judge based on my limited ability to reveal the facts myself, and only if I can get those facts correctly, without them having been altered- a sad state of affairs.

  6. Bob G says:

    Scott Adams of Dilbert Fame is reporting that a guy named Michael schellenberger is reporting that sea levels have not risen and the experts that told us that they were rising knew it wasn’t true. I can’t find the link but just Google it. of course schmoes like me also knew that sea level rises were not happening because the ferry boats in New York City still dock at the same docks as they did 100 years ago. let’s also note that Manhattan Island has gotten larger in the last 400 years

    • arn says:

      Shellenberger is a former AGW nutjob who tried to counter the horrible effects of AGW with the use of modern tech – and he has started to shift away from his core beliefs some years ago.

      Seems reality has worn his religion so much off that there is enough room inside his brain to accept that pretty much nothing is happening as result of AGW and that they only attribute the usual weather anomalies with spin and hyperbole to AGW.

      As I’ve been saying for years : Since Hanson announced the drowning of lower Manhattan in 1988, one needs to lay a single brick per day at Manhattans lowest and most vulnerable places and it will be enough to outrun sea level rise with that tremendous building speed and keep Manhattan safe and dry.

      But this doesn’t proof that sea level rise ain’t happening as most leftie lunatics live in coastal states.
      And it is Impossible that 10s of millions of people can be so blind and stupid for so long.

      • Bob G says:

        Arn, the same people that think they can’t outrun a sea level rise of a few inches every 100 years….. which has been happening since the end of the last ice age…. also think a trace gas called CO2 controls the climate.. you could quadruple the level of CO2 and it would still be a trace gas. in other news, I’m just a schmoe from Central Minnesota but I predicted this all summer …we’re going to see record crop yields this fall (because the temps were even and the precipitation was timely and adequate) and sure enough it happened. still wondering where the climate crisis is. https://youtube.com/shorts/5KuGwR8u1CE?si=LIusiA-QE0ZgnNP8

        • Mike Peinsipp says:

          Its here and he is called EDDY MINIMUM.

          And if the Beaufryt Gyre reverses…the movie “The Day After Tommorrow” will become reality…FAST!
          Dont laff cuz they found a mammoth frozen solid stanfing up in Siberia. Guess how that could happen….YEP instant COLD of -85F at 40K feet pushed down by reversing winds. Add winchill and you get 100 MPH at -85 equals FLASH FROZEN of FIVE TONS of Meat!

      Jimmy Dore had this on Wednesday:

      – Just a schmoe from the Ohio River Valley

      • conrad ziefle says:

        So that guy on Dore could have saved himself a hell of a lot of time and just read Tony’s blog.

        • Disillusioned says:

          At least he and a few of his ilk are at the beginning of their disillusionment. I went through that 16 years ago. Where did the time go? Sheesh

    • Mike Peinsipp says:

      Fact. Tony shows those pics that prove it. New Your harbor water level is NOT going up…the Mud Spit called Mahattan Island is SINKING!
      Put a couple billion tons of crap on a mud pile and watch it sink!!!

  7. Bob G says:

    off subject … did you read in the Babylon B that left wing nutcase congressman Eric swalwell wants to have the new White House ballroom demolished in 2028 if the Democrats take power? oops never mind it wasn’t in the Babylon B. which is a satire publication. apparently swalwell was serious and it was reported widely. no doubt Chinese spy Fang Fangs ex, Eric, was concerned about the private funding and he would much rather build a new ballroom using taxpayer funds and instead of naming it the Trump ballroom he would prefer to name it the Bill Clinton Erection. lol. seriously …today’s Democrats sure seem to hate America. no doubt the lefties led by Swalwell would prefer to spend taxpayers money building a ballroom in Iran or maybe Bolivia. definitely not Argentina though

    • arn says:

      If they’d call it Ballsroom and paint it all in rainbow-colors Swallowell would be all for it.

      Funny note – he was the one to criticize Trumps ” trade wars” on China before the Fang Fang story came up,
      and calling him racist while calling for the expulsion of all Russian students
      after the Ukraine got serious.

      But I must give him credit for being more of a slimey fake ass than Newsome.
      Dude knows better than anyone else which butthole to kiss,what new opinion to have and how to exploit situations in his favor whenever possible.

    • conrad ziefle says:

      I live in his district. Wish we could get someone decent to run against him. I think I will campaign for them next round. The silly ass needs to have it handed to him.

  8. Bob G says:

    CAT 5 hurricane currently located dead center in Western Jamaica. I just checked the wind speed at Kingston Jamaica. 24 mph. wind speed at Montego Bay Jamaica 46. hhhmmmmm.

    • Jehzsa says:

      I’m sure leftists will find a explanation for that…you know…because it’s the strongest, meanest, most destructively apocalyptic hurricane ever…

    • stewartpid says:

      Bob …. I was watching throughout the storm and the max winds I found at 10 metres / 30 feet were peaking at 120 kph or around 75 mph barely a Cat 1.
      Melissa is a significant rain event and flooding at the coast but the winds don’t look to be any record breaking stuff and only of concern to those living in shacks or trailers.
      The wind speed calculate from satellite data is very inflated and the climate crooks have been doing this for almost a decade ….every Cat 4 or 5 comes ashore with max Cat 1 winds … funny how that happens.

      • Bob G says:

        I’ve seen some photos of heavy damage. I’ve seen no photos of buildings that are no longer there. isn’t that supposed to happen when you have a cat 5? there’s nothing left but a slab?

        • conrad ziefle says:

          My guess is that you could probably lean against some of those buildings, and they would have fallen down. I doubt that any, but the ones owned by large hotel corporations, were built to hurricane standards, or even common building code standards.

  9. Bob G says:

    check out images of damage from hurricane Andrew 30 years ago. in some neighborhoods all buildings are gone. that’s what a CAT 5 looks like

  10. Bob G says:

    Big surprise. (not).. wind power not as efficient as predicted. https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/10/green-calculations-wrong-again.php

    • conrad ziefle says:

      These Marxists love these distributed albatross structured low density energy projects, which are reminiscent of medieval life, upon which their philosophy is based. Marx failed to understand the importance of the development of science, which negated his theory of the historical trajectory of society being forever a struggle of the have-nots vs the ruling class. Today, I would say it is a struggle of the unaccomplished vs the accomplished, which puts PhD graduate students (some, who have studied silliness) demanding that accomplished electricians and carpenters pay more taxes to support their entitled asses.

    • Bob G says:

      maybe we should question all the states high temperature records before 1950. at a quick glance it looks like 36 of our 50 states set their high temperature records prior to 1950. I live in Minnesota and our high temperature record is almost 100 years old and it’s 114. in the last 50 years I don’t think we’ve had a high temperature higher than 106, 107… maybe a 108.

      • Bob G says:

        Minnesota’s official high temperature record is 114 from almost 100 years ago. I did a little quick research. it appears that the hottest it’s been in Minnesota in the last 70 years was 110, for one day, in southwest Minnesota.. it doesn’t get as hot as it used to. but it appears that it doesn’t get as cold at night as it used to.

  11. Bob G says:

    you’re 10 lb cat is changing the climate and we’re all going to burn up. OR…. is that 10 pound cat saving us from the next ice age? lol. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/associated-press-publishes-absurd-video-targeting-pet-ownership/

    • arn says:

      They’ll never get away with this nonsense.
      Noone on earth is so crazy to buy this crap as
      out of all global animal biomass pets are at best a totally irrelevant 0.01%…oh wait.

      You will own nothing – not even pets – but you will love it.

    • conrad ziefle says:

      If the 10 lb cat is a problem, then how much more is a 150 lb climate fanatic? And how much easier it would be to corral them, instead of the cats?

    • Disillusioned says:

      And the same with cattle. Beef prices are skyrocketing, as the Cabal are doing everything they can to decimate cattle ranching in America. That won’t stop my consumption of beef. No matter high beef gets, I will find a way to eat healthy proper human food. I eat the fattiest beef I can get, real butter (as much as I want), thick bacon and pastured eggs, *with salt (this is exactly the opposite of what the Cabal – and everyone’s doctors – have told us all, since the Ancel Keyes scam – that it is supposed to make us ill).

      Is it killing me? Is it making me ill? No; in fact, the opposite is occurring. I am aging in reverse. Since I gave up eating plant toxins and heavily added back saturated animal meats and fats, I have lost weight. I am pain-free, my blood pressure is lower than when I was in my 20s. I am 67 and off of all medications. Skin conditions have disappeared. Brain fog went away. All those things we blame on “getting older” went away. I have more energy; I feel better than when I was in my 30s. (And I don’t care how high my cholesterol is. That’s just as big of a boner as anthropogenic global warming).

      Speaking of cats (and dogs) – just like today’s humans, they are now fatter, sicker, getting all the human diseases and dying faster than they used to. Why? Could it be that we are ALL eating grain/vegetable-heavy Big Agra gruel?

      Well, we have the study, “Pottenger’s Cats”. It’s a 90-year old study, it lasted 10 years. Half of the cats were fed raw meat. The other half were fed kibble and cooked meat. If you don’t want to read the whole book, ask your favorite AI to brief you about it. Find out what happened.

      Anecdotally, there are people today who feed their pets fish, beef, pork, chicken, turkey, eggs, etc., and never feed their furry loved ones BigAgra kibble. They report that their pets live twice as long as their previous pets that were fed kibble and canned pet gruel. They are not overweight, they get no diseases, have no skin problems, no digestive issues – on and on it goes – the same illnesses we humans have been getting (and which we also heal up from after we give up the “healthy” human gruel). It is so simple. It is miraculous. It works for everyone.

      Giving up all food that was BigCabal-planted and farmed, and eating food that had eyeballs – whether raised on a ranch or harvested in the wild – was the best thing I ever did for my body and my health. If it grew out of the ground, it is no longer food for me (it made me sick, very slowly). It causes inflammation, bloating and gas – yes – GAS! It makes methane! It makes us all sick, very slowly, over time. When I gave it up, I got healthy, very quickly. In combination with the food I replaced it with, I healed my body very quickly.

      • Bob G says:

        interesting post. I cannot disagree or agree. my personal experience is …in my family, on Mom’s side and dad’s side and on my Ex-Wives mom and Dad side health and longevity seems to be a complete roll of the dice. doesn’t matter if you’re fat or thin, I can’t see a pattern… it’s just completely random and good luck explains a lot of it in my humble opinion. but I can easily add that climate has not affected my family’s lifespan whatsoever unless you go back more than 100 years when probably some froze to death before fossil fuels saved their lives and the lives of their descendants.

        • Disillusioned says:

          Bob, I am glad you and your family are so healthy. Nobody can really agree or disagree. It is personal, it is something one must experience to understand. One cannot disbelieve something that they have personally experienced.

          Almost everyone our age eating the Standard American Diet (SAD) filled with “healthy” plants, and who is also avoiding/limiting animal fat and fatty meat, has ailments of some kind, and is on medications. If you and your family are pain/disease free and on no medications whatsoever, then that’s great!

          But if one has ailments one wishes to be rid of, they can take a test. It doesn’t have to be diabetes, cancer or heart disease. It may be a bum knee, an eczema patch, slightly elevated blood pressure, tinnitus, gout, trouble sleeping, etc., something irritating one wishes to be rid of. One can write these things down, and then make a commitment to do a 90-day challenge, such as eating fatty beef, butter, bacon and eggs (anything that once had eyeballs) and to avoid the all the rest like it is poison for that 90 days. And, then see what changes occur.

          The first week or so, it could be like getting off of heroin or alcohol. After that, things usually smooth out. Literally. One of the first things I found out was that I didn’t need fiber, and that my bowel problems went away after I got off of that crap.

          I confess, I had to keep the coffee, and have been on/off of it since. Luckily it has very few defense chemicals in it (much less than teas), so is the safer plant derivative hot drink. The rest of the plant kingdom I avoided. And I still avoid. (This is a far cry from what I once was – a vegetarian, and a juicer.)

          You are correct that some people have stronger immune systems. But we ALL must fight off plant toxins if we are eating them. They wear on us all. Some fortunate bodies may hold out longer before experiencing health issues. But there is nobody I know of who hasn’t experienced miraculous health changes with the 90-day challenge. Everyone gets off of at least one medication (if not every one of them, like I).

          For Thanksgiving, I had turkey, ham and deviled eggs, and I avoided all of the plant-based dishes. I ate until I was comfortably full; my only meal of the day. Everyone else had the starches, the pies, ice cream, puddings, cookies, etc.

          I felt great the next day. Everyone else was dragging. That should say something in and of itself, whether or not all we should be eating all of that other stuff.

          To try the 90-day challenge, one has to have their “why.” If there is absolutely no “why” for you, you are blessed – and truly an anomaly.

          I know what plant toxins did to my body, and what they have done to so many others. Hospitals and nursing homes are full of victims of plant toxins, with every ailment and disease known to man. Plant toxins cause inflammation. And inflammation causes diseases. For me, there is no food that tastes so good as being completely pain-free and off of all medications.

          My one exception is a one-off: air-popped popcorn with melted Irish butter and Parmesan cheese – once a year, on my birthday. Then it’s back to real health food – from an animal that had eyeballs. 🙂

  12. I used to classify the climate hoax as an academic fad, like canals on Mars. But in view of its material damage to Western economies and the multiple deaths de-industrialization will bring, it has more in common with eugenics. Not surprisingly, it is promoted by the same bad actors. All I can say to its protagonists is;’How dare you’.

    • conrad ziefle says:

      I’m waiting for the Europeans to wake up and fight back against their governments. I don’t have many years and probably won’t see it. It would take one day, just one day and all their traitors would be running, I don’t know where-maybe Venezuela, or China?

  13. arn says:

    Here some interesting statements from Prof. Wiesendanger in terms of Covid.

    ” … a former dutch health minister stated that the health ministers of NATO countries had to follow NATO Covid -guideline ”

    just in case people thought that NATO is for self defense and not a soft occupation -system to disenfranchise and control member countries .

    Another interesting comment:” The BND(german CiA) knew pretty much from the beginning that Covid is a 80- 95% Wuhan Lab Virus.”
    . and that Stasi Merkel deliberately ignored this.

    Can be found on Epoch Times Channel Deutschland.

    • conrad ziefle says:

      I’m glad they have a channel Deutschland. Long live the AfD!

      • arn says:

        I didn’t know until now,
        (I used to watch the US Version when Larry Elder was there)
        but I don’t know if there is an English translation for their vids,
        as this video has some quite interesting details.

        And AFD – let’s see how long it’ll take before the AFD becomes verboten Germany.

        A high end criminal who was involved in fake negotiations in Ukraine during Nulands Fuck-the -EU revolution and right after that joined the protests for a violent and illegal takeover,
        unleashed a massive tirade against the AFD a few days ago.
        Such a disgusting behavior wouldn’t be noteworthy if this criminal hadn’t been rewarded by his globalist masters with the position of the german president for helping to fullfill the Heartland Theory.

      • Disillusioned says:

        Yes. I think the globalist politcal left will keep trying to connect the AfD or any conservative/right wing politician or organization with Nazism. I grew up believing the propagandist lie that Nazis were far-right. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned the two are polar opposites.

        • conrad ziefle says:

          I remember in high school challenging our civics teacher, that the Nazis and Communists seemed very similar, so why were they considered opposites? His answer was that the spectrum was like a global, when you went far enough right, you wound up on the left. I assume that this opposite of the two was first proposed around WW2, so that it made it acceptable to fight with the Bolsheviks against Hitler, and it then became very convenient for the Marxists to continue the myth into the Cold War so that any attempt to crush them could be labelled “fascist”. The weak argument for it, I think, is that the Nazis were nationalists, and the Marxists are internationalists, so any attempt at national sovereignty can also be painted “fascist”. It turns out very convenient for the Marxists to declare these two to be right and left. Also, the Nazis classified their enemies based on race and religion, while the Marxists declare their enemies by wealth class, which, if you think about it, are largely racial ( not all wealthy people are white, but the majority are), religion (any non-atheist or Muslim). So without declaring it directly, the Marxists have morphed to the Nazi position. Note: I think that the Nazis are fascists, but not all fascists are Nazis. For example, the leadership of the CCP are also fascists, although the poor Chinese proletariat might not understand that.

        • Disillusioned says:

          Good points. The Left now love to brandish the “Right Wing Nationalist” slur for any conservative who wishes to preserve America and who loves the American flag, baseball, Mom, apple pie and a simpler time. The first time I heard it used, I knew exactly what they were implying.

          The inference is screaming ‘Nazi’ without actually saying it. It is one of their newer propagandist manipulations in their bag of deceptive dirty tricks.

        • Disillusioned says:

          And, if the conservative just so happens to have had Caucasian parents, then the slur may be, ‘White Nationalist’. There need not be any proof that the victim of the hate rhetoric had ever said anything racist, at all. The evil bastards simply say it – banking that their idiot viewers will pick it up and run with it.

    Yahoo has a story about sea levels rising like crazy. I commented that a Danish engineer did a study which was reported about a month ago that sea level hasn’t risen at all the last 40 years. somebody replied that sea level has risen at least 8 in the last 50 years.. I replied to that and my reply was rejected by Yahoo. here’s my reply: yes that’s the standard line but it’s not true. realclimatescience.com. yep that’s all I wrote. why was it rejected? apparently listing Tony’s website is offensive. apparently some speech is free and some speech isn’t.

    • Jack the Insider says:

      I have noted on other blog sites that are powered by Disqus that any talk of climate change or posting of links or stories related to discrediting the Global Warming narrative is quickly marked as spam and deleted. The work around then is to take a screen shot of the comment or link and repost as a jpeg. The Disqus AI Bot is not smart enough to decipher the content of picture files.

    Good Thanksgiving Eve morning one and all! for about 40 years we’ve been told heats going to kill us, rising sea levels are going to kill us, hurricanes and tornadoes are going to kill us. here’s a wake up check on that. I’m in South Central Minnesota and we have about 4 inches of new snow on the ground which is on top of icy frozen slush, (so the schools are closed) it’s about 20° not including wind and the wind is a steady 22 mph, gusting to 35. if we didn’t have fossil fuels to keep our homes warm we’d all be dead. if you went outside today without boots and a jacket you’d have hypothermia within 20 minutes. one more thing… it’s not winter yet. lol
