Last year’s “conspiracy theory” is this year’s front page news.

“The Adams administration has announced a plan to begin tracking the carbon footprint created by household food consumption as well as a new target for New York City agencies to reduce their food-based emissions by 33% by the year 2023. Mayor Eric Adams announced the plan on Monday along with the Mayor’s Office of Climate & Environmental Justice as part of the city’s ongoing pledge to reduce the impact of climate change.”

“It is easy to talk about emissions that are coming from vehicles and how it impacts our carbon footprint,“ Adams said. “But we now have to talk about beef.”

The Arctic melting scam died more than a decade ago, but the press and US government agencies are keeping it on life support. Perhaps analogous to Joe Biden’s intellect.

“Catastrophic Shifts in Climate Feared if Change Occurs

Col. Bernt Balchen, polar explorer and flier, is circulating a paper among polar specialists proposing that the Arctic pack ice is thinning and that the ocean at the North Pole may become an open sea within a decade or two.

Although he bases his thesis on predictions in recent years by several experts in_ polar weather and_ ice behavior, interviews with a number of other specialists have shown a widespread belief that the Progressive shrinkage of the Arctic pack ice over the last century has reversed itself, at least temporarily.

Disappearance of the Arctic pack would enable the largest tankers to reach the newly discovered oil fields of northern Alaska. However, of major concern is the possibility of catastrophic climate changes.

A number of specialists believe that an ice-free Arctic Ocean would not freeze again. If so, it has been predicted that storm paths would change ‘and the food-producing areas of the Central United States and Eurasia might become deserts. Likewise, it is thought that great ice sheets would form farther north.”

NASA says Arctic sea ice is rapidly melting and that satellite observations of the ice began in 1979.

“Summer Arctic sea ice extent is shrinking by 12.6% per decade as a result of global warming.”

“This graph shows the size of the Arctic sea ice each September since satellite observations started in 1979.”

The 1990 IPCC report told a different story, which made it clear why NASA is hiding all the data prior to the peak year of 1979.

“satellite observations have been used to map sea-ice extent routinely since the early 1970s …. in 1972-1975 sea-ice extent was significantly less”

The Nimbus-5 satellite was launched in 1972. One of its purposes was to map surface ice.

“The data from the microwave instruments will also be helpful to ships operating in the Arctic and Antarctic regions,” said Dr. Nordberg. “Thin clouds, such as cirrus and stratus which are predominate in the polar regions, are relatively transparent in the microwave portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

“We plan to map surface ice and water with the microwave sensors aboard Nimbus-E and we might even be able to differentiate between the old and more recently formed ice,” Dr. Nordberg said.”

Ice extent was even lower in the 1950s.

A few months ago the press predicted a warm dry winter for California due to “climate change.” The predictions were incorrect and now the press is blaming the cold wet winter on climate change.
