Real Climate Science

A DMI employee accused me of making up a fake DMI map yesterday after I posted a graphic showing how Arctic sea ice thickness and volume has increased since 2008.

Here was the original map

Here was my map. I masked out the thin ice because as every climate alarmist knows, thin ice isn’t important. The map I created is the one alarmists normally say they want to see.

Ruth then made an incredibly stupid tweet where she agreed with me about the importance of thick ice, but thought she was disagreeing with me.

Then, every moron on the Internet jumped in, including Jim Hunt

And finally Ruth went on this tirade, where Ruth said everything – except admit she was wrong.

There was nothing wrong with my graphic. It showed exactly what I said it showed, which is also exactly what climate alarmists say they want to see. Then a DMI employee made a idiotic baseless accusation and piled on one ridiculous tweet after another.

But the funniest tweet of the day is her last one, where she begrudgingly admits that Greenland gained ice this year.

This sort of ridiculous behavior is exactly why I have zero confidence in government climate people. She made a scurrilous and incorrect accusation and then refused to retract or apologize.

In 1971, National Geographic published this map of late summer Arctic sea ice extent.

Here is their current map.

The image below overlays the current NSIDC map (green) on the 1971 National Geographic Map (red.) There is less ice in the western Arctic than 1971, and more ice in the Eastern Arctic

But what is really interesting in the map above is the position of the NSIDC median ice edge line, which extends far outside the 1971 area. This is because NSIDC ignores all of the pre-1979 data, when sea ice extent was very low.

In the 1950’s experts thought the Arctic would be ice-free within a generation.

In order to create their fake linear trend graphs, they start right at the peak in 1979, and ignore all the prior data. Junk science doesn’t get any worse than that.

In September, 1928 an inland storm surge in Florida killed thousands of people at Lake Okeechobee, and desperate Democrats were resorting to bald faced lies.

DEMOCRATS IN DESPERATION RESORT TO BALD UNTRUTHS

24 Sep 1928, 1 – The Times Recorder 

September 1 used to be a very hot day in the US, but temperatures have plummeted over the past century.

On this date in 1953, half of the Eastern US was over 100 degrees, including West Point, New York.

West Point had three September days over 100F in 1953, and none since.

Based on current trends, it now appears the Arctic will never be ice free. The planet is saved.

Good thing we listened to the experts and #FakeNews press – who said the Arctic would be ice-free nine years ago.

Some were even more conservative and said the ice wouldn’t be gone until 2013.

The NOAA/EPA graph is being touted by Democrats as proof that people who tell the truth about climate need to be jailed. It is intended to mislead people into believing that heavy rainfall events are due to your SUV.

Besides the utter insanity of Soviet mentality Democrats demanding compliance with their cult, the EPA graph itself is fraudulent. Had they extended their graph back to the start of records in 1895, the trend would have been the exact opposite.

Cherry picking starting points of graphs is standard operating procedure for criminals on the left.

The animation below show the huge increase in 1+ meter thick sea ice in the central Arctic since 2008.

Sea ice volume is up 20% since 2008, and is also higher than 2007 and 2016.

The really sad thing for climate alarmists is that there will be a huge increase in the amount of Multi-Year Ice in three weeks, which will get very thick during the winter.

Current forecast is that the Arctic will be ice-free on November 2, 2018 at 3;59 PM.

Climate experts insist that sea ice is at a record low, and the ice is disappearing. Because they are paid to generate propaganda – not do science.
