One of the standard progressive responses to historical newspaper articles and photographs which disprove White House claims, is that they can’t be trusted because they are “old.”

“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”

we’re all threatened by this. I mean, the planet is in danger. Something needs to be done

Shindell and Schmidt 2004
While most of the Earth warmed rapidly during recent decades, surface temperatures decreased significantly over most of Antarctica.
NASA published maps showing the strong cooling in Antarctica
A couple of years later someone at NASA figured out that Antarctic cooling didn’t fit the agenda. so they simply changed it into warming.

Now they have taken it a step further. NASA has completely ignored the record sea ice, and has fabricated a nonsensical story about deep ocean heat melting the ice from below.
Satellites show that Antarctica is cooling, just as Gavin said 10 years ago – before politics replaced science.
