Even CO2 levels of 300 ppm can’t keep us safe. We are doomed to die a fiery death.

The world’s leading climate scientists tell us that we need to reduce atmospheric CO2 to 350 ppm to stop the polar ice caps from melting. But will that work?

310 ppm is obviously too high.

300 ppm is also too high

In grade school, we learned about geographical maps – and political maps.

In 2004, NASA showed Antarctica in a long-term cooling trend. But Gavin forecast the future.

Antarctic cooling, global warming? …. the continent and in the interior appear to have cooled slightly …… we fully expect Antarctica to warm up in the future.

Sure enough, in 2007 NASA flipped the long-term trend from cooling to warming.

Did Antarctica suddenly heat up between 2004 and 2007? No.

two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, ’cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees

Before its closing in 2002 Homestake Gold Mine was the oldest, largest and deepest mine in the Western Hemisphere, reaching more than 8000 feet below the town of Lead.

Turns out there hasn’t been any polar amplification after all.

Let’s begin with a key concern: What is your opinion about the Antarctic ice melting due to global warming and the threat it would pose in coming years.

I would the say the situation is not as critical as it is made out. But, at some places in the Antarctica, we do find the ice breaking away and falling but its only in isolated spots. At the German base, we don’t really see any rise in temperature, in fact, it might be the other way round. So at this base we don’t see any global warming effect at all. But, this is a big discussion because you never know how accurate the measurements taken much earlier were because technology was not as advanced as it is now. It’s too easy to say that Antarctica is warmed by 1-2 degrees but, I’d infer, that is not really true.”
