On August 15, 2008 I wrote my first article about climate junk science.

It was in response to a barrage of nonsensical predictions.

“there will be no sea ice left in the summer in the Arctic Ocean somewhere between 2010 and 2015. “And it’s probably going to happen even faster than that,” said Fortier, who leads an international team of researchers in the Arctic”

This week in 1958, a submarine surfaced at the North Pole, and the New York Times wrote:
“Some scientists estimate that the polar ice pack is 40 per cent thinner and 12 per cent less in area than it was a half-century ago, and that even within the lifetime of our children the Arctic Ocean may open, enabling ships to sail over the North Pole, as the submarines ‘Nautilus and Skate recently sailed under it. A ship bound from New York to Tokyo would save 2,500 miles by turning left outside the Nar- rows and sailing past Greenland in- stead of through the Panama Canal.”

Last year many of those ships got stuck in the ice, and the press blamed it on climate change.
The scamsters never stop.
