Real Climate Science

• 30+% concentration ice extent is near or at the minimum for the year
• There will be a huge increase in the amount of 1+ year old ice next spring
• The Northern Passage will not open up this year
• Alarmists will continue to deny reality, and pretend they don’t see any of this

Frowned upon? Like eating between meals or talking loudly on your phone in a restaurant. I’m guessing that Jesse didn’t actually say a prayer for the family of Chris Lane.

How about stealing $750,000 from your constituents, and getting your hand slapped by a paid-off judge?

This guy has concluded from the facts that we are in an interglacial and that CO2 has risen, that future generations are going to live in a hellish world – and 657 readers recommended the comment. It takes many years of being beaten intellectually senseless to become this stupid and angry.

Ice melts above the freezing point, regardless of whether temperatures are rising or falling. Twenty thousand years ago, Chicago was buried under a mile of ice and sea level was 350 feet lower. It is safe to assume that ice will continue to melt, until Earth starts the next ice age cycle.

Scott N from Austin believes that CO2 in the air makes it hot. I suggest that he  tries turning off the fossil fuels, and heats his home with CO2 next winter.

There has been no change in California sea level during the lifetime of most of its residents.

Josh Willis of NASA says that that sea level will rise two metres the rest of the century.

Mark Twain said :

“There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact.”

Leading scientists insist that Antarctica is melting down and will drown us all, while Antarctic sea ice grows to record highs.

Antarctic sea ice extent for August 19 is 18.70 million square kilometers (7.22 million square miles), a record or near-record high level

(Look for some morons to post comments here saying that the colder interior of Antarctica is melting down, even as the warmer oceans freeze.)

Temperatures have been cooling this century at a rate which will wipe out all claimed 20th century warming, but the IPCC needs money and they decided to just make up some fake numbers, so that they can continue to steal from taxpayers.

The panel shifted to a wider range for the potential warming, dropping the plausible low end to 2.7 degrees, after a wave of recent studies saying higher estimates were unlikely. But those studies are contested, and scientists at Stockholm are likely to debate whether to stick with that language.

The US Navy is forecasting an increase in extent over the next week. By mid-September, there could be twice as much ice as last year.

In the tropics, water vapor causes 97% of the greenhouse effect. The New York Times has eliminated all water vapor from the atmosphere, and made CO2 the primary greenhouse gas.
