“In autumn 2014, large pieces of trees were discovered for the first time from glacial slope sediments in the foreland of the Pasterze glacier. These are far larger than previous finds and are impressive evidence of the former tree population. The tree trunk, several metres long and broken into two pieces, was discovered in September 2014 by two employees of the Grossglockner mountain railway/glacier railway. Initial analyses by Andreas Kellerer-Pirklbauer (University of Graz) and Kurt Nicolussi (University of Innsbruck) show that it is around 6,000 years old.”

I asked Gemini to draw a graph of Arctic sea ice extent since 2007, and it plotted values for 2025 and 2030.  Then it acknowledged that was scientific malpractice.

venice.ai claims that arctic sea ice extent has declined since 2007, and they say that this year’s minimum is  “3.25 million square kilometers”

Ice extent has not declined since 2007 and this year’s minimum so far is 4,311,000 km.sq. according to NSIDC and 4,760,000 km.sq. according to OSI.

“Top Climate Scientist: Humans Will Go Extinct if We Don’t Fix Climate Change by 2023

A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all of humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.In a recent speech at the University of Chicago, James Anderson — a professor of atmospheric chemistry at Harvard University — warned that climate change is drastically pushing Earth back to the Eocene Epoch from 33 million BCE, when there was no ice on either pole. Anderson says current pollution levels have already catastrophically depleted atmospheric ozone levels, which absorb 98 percent of ultraviolet rays, to levels not seen in 12 million years.”

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, …. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

In 1974, the National Academy of Sciences showed that the 1930s were very warm in the Northern Hemisphere, and there was almost 0.75C cooling through the end of the 1960s. But the warmth from 1890 to the mid-1950s has since been erased.

“So, if we could reduce the ocean blip by, say, 0.15 degC,
then this would be significant for the global mean — but
we’d still have to explain the land blip.

It would be good to remove at least part of the 1940s blip,
but we are still left with “why the blip”.”

Experts say Fort Lauderdale is drowning, but satellite imagery doesn’t provide any support for that idea.

“It’s a scary thought: Sea levels rising by as much as 2 feet, swallowing up land, homes and everything else not on high ground.

It could happen as soon as 2060, experts say.”
