Time Magazine says Making America Great Again is evil, but getting incredibly rich while losing week after week and hating America is brave.

NASA polar propagandist Walt Meier claims Antarctic sea ice is at record low levels due to global warming.

(CNN)For what appears to be the first time since scientists began keeping track, sea ice in the Arctic and the Antarctic are at record lows this time of year.  “It looks like, since the beginning of October, that for the first time we are seeing both the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice running at record low levels,” said Walt Meier, a research scientist with the Cryospheric Sciences Laboratory at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, who has tracked sea ice data going back to 1979.

Walt pulled his usual trick of ignoring pre-1979 satellite data. At the peak of the global cooling scare, Antarctic sea ice was nearly gone. The image below was from the Nimbus-5 satellite in January, 1976.  There was almost no sea ice left around Antarctica.

Now compare vs. current levels. There is probably five times as much ice now. The ice will retreat over the next ten weeks, but its extent will not likely get lower than it was in January 1976.

From the same National Geographic article in 1976, all of our top government climate experts said Earth was rapidly cooling.

National Geographic : 1976 Nov, Page 578

This graph from the 1990 IPCC report showed the low extent in 1976. I have asked NOAA for the source of this data, but they say they have been unable to locate it.

The next graph overlays the 1990 IPCC data on the post-1979 data at the same scale on both axes, and shows that Antarctic sea ice bottomed out in late 1976, with an anomaly of -2.6 million km².

NSIDC currently shows the Antarctic sea ice anomaly as -1.9 million km².

When Antarctic sea ice extent was at a record high not many months ago, Walt also blamed that on global warming. Heads I win, tails you lose.

A warming climate changes weather patterns, said Walt Meier, a research scientist at Goddard. Sometimes those weather patterns will bring cooler air to some areas. And in the Antarctic, where sea ice circles the continent and covers such a large area, it doesn’t take that much additional ice extent to set a new record.

I’m looking forward to President Trump putting an end to this scam. Enough is enough.

This is a standard propaganda technique used by CNN and other members of the criminal press corps(e.)  They set up the debate as scientists vs. skeptics, as opposed to actual scientists vs. people paid by the government to generate global warming propaganda.

Michael Kanuch says that Greenland is melting at a record rate.

Greenland is actually gaining ice at a record rate.

Greenland wasn’t always gaining a lot of ice like it is now. In 1939, the glaciers of Greenland and Norway were nearing “catastrophic collapse“

NOAA claimed record heat in numerous locations is September, like these ones in Africa and the Middle East.

This is a remarkable feat, given that they didn’t have any actual thermometer readings in those regions in September. In fact, NOAA didn’t have any thermometer readings on about half of the land surface.

Satellite temperatures showed that September was close to normal in those regions which NOAA declared to be record hot.

Not only is the land data fake, but much of the ocean data is fake too.

Tom,

The issue Ray alludes to is that in addition to the issue
of many more drifters providing measurements over the last
5-10 years, the measurements are coming in from places where we didn’t have much ship data in the past. For much of the SH between 40 and 60S the normals are mostly made up as there is very little ship data there.

Cheers
Phil

The global surface temperature record is garbage. This is the 21st century, and it needs to be replaced by satellite temperatures which show little or no warming this century.
