Less than three months ago, NOAA published this :

“NSIDC reported that the 2024 Antarctic maximum was 77,000 square miles (200,000 square kilometers) above the 2023 record-low extent, but it was 598,000 square miles (1.55 million square kilometers) below the average maximum extent from 1981-2010. In that sense, it’s continuing a pattern that began around 2016, with most winters from 2016-2022 having below-average ice extents. In another sense, however, it’s nothing like those years; like 2023, the 2024 winter maximum was so far outside the range of observed variability that some scientists speculate that the Southern Ocean sea ice may have entered a wholly new state.”

December 30 Antarctic sea ice extent has increased 36% over the past two years, and is higher than 1979, 1980, 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2005, and all of the past eight years.

“Comparison of archival and recent photographs shows a marked increase in Namib Desert vegetation over the past 90 years of CO? increase, while regional climate models predict increased aridification with climate change.”

Grok says that Polar Bears are threatened by declining sea ice, and Grok also says Polar Bears have shown they can adapt to low sea ice conditions.

“ice cover in the Arctic Ocean was greatly reduced some 6000-7000 years ago. The Arctic Ocean may have been periodically ice free.”

There has been no trend in the Arctic sea ice minimum, mean or maximum extent for 18 years.

The press says climate skeptics are getting millions of dollars to discredit the consensus, while having to self-fund themselves out of their own pockets.

“Much of his government funding has dried up. He has had to put his own money, more than $100,000, into keeping his research going. He feels intellectually abandoned. If none of his colleagues comes to his funeral, he says, that’ll be evidence that he had the courage to say what they were afraid to admit.”

“Since the late 1980s, when oil, gas, coal, auto and chemical companies formed the Global Climate Coalition, industries have poured millions of dollars into a campaign to discredit the emerging global warming consensus.”

“A study by the Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) reported that global investment in climate change plateaued at USD $359 billion in 2012”

“The radical left’s fear mongering about climate and our future is… destroying America’s economy, weakening our society, and eviscerating our middle class. It’s really hurting us.”

“Conservative leaders, think tanks and intellectuals must be fearless in calling out the lunacy of what you’re seeing, and what you’re being led into. The world is not ending.”

“We have to defeat the climate hoaxsters once and for all.”

“KGB ideological subversion refers to a strategy outlined by Yuri Bezmenov, a former KGB agent who defected to the West. This strategy was designed to undermine the internal stability of countries, particularly those in the Western bloc, to make them more susceptible to Soviet influence or control. Here are the key aspects based on Bezmenov’s descriptions:

Crisis (up to 6 weeks): This is a short, intense period where the destabilization culminates in a crisis, potentially involving a political coup, economic collapse, or social upheaval, leading to a significant change in power dynamics.”
