The 1995 IPCC report showed that hurricane wind speeds were declining.

This contradicted claims made by Hansen and others in 1988.

“Global warming may increase the strength of hurricanes, posing a lethal threat to low-lying areas already facing inundation from rising sea levels, atmospheric scientists said Tues-day. At a major conference on global climate change, experts said warmer water temperatures could increase the power of hurricanes by 40 percent to 50 percent. They said while maximum hurricane winds peak at 175 mph now, they could reach 220 mph by the middle of the next century.”

According to the 1995 IPCC report, Greenland and Antarctica were much warmer 120,000 years ago.

“The lack of comprehensive sea ice data prior to the satellite era hampers estimates of hemispheric-scale trends over longer time scales. Rayner et al. (2003) compiled a data set of sea ice extent for the 20th century from available sources and accounted for the inhomogeneity between them (Figure 4.10). There is a clear indication of sustained decline in arctic ice extent since about the early 1970s, particularly in summer ….. Continuous long-term data records for the Antarctic are lacking, as systematic information on the entire Southern Ocean ice cover became available only with the advent of routine microwave satellite reconnaissance in the early 1970s.”

Between 1990 and 2001, the IPCC rewrote the Arctic sea ice satellite record, and changed a trend of ice increasing to ice decreasing.

“The American Navy Joint Ice Center has produced weekly charts which have been digitised by NOAA …..  Since about 1976 the areal extent of sea-ice in the Northern Hemisphere has varied about a constant climatological level but in 1972-1975 sea-ice extent was significantly less.

The current IPCC report says snow cover is declining due to human influence.

“Over recent decades, widespread loss of snow and ice has been observed, and several elements of the cryosphere are now in states unseen in centuries (high confidence). Human influence was very likely the main driver of observed reductions in Arctic sea ice since the late 1970s”

Here is another trick used by the press. Instead of fact checking their own false claim that sea ice is melting, they “fact check” another claim by mischaracterizing it.

SNAFU!: The Southern India famine of 1876–78

It has been clear since the 1980s that the 1877-78 El Niño was intense. “Now we have a lot more data,” says Singh. “This event was the strongest El Niño that has occurred since the 1850s.” Sea surface temperatures remained high for 16 months. That makes it bigger than the huge El Niños of 1997-98 and 2015-16. A nexus of impacts But that’s not all. In 1877 a second climate cycle, the Indian Ocean Dipole, was active – meaning the western Indian Ocean was warmer than the east. This typically weakens India’s monsoons. “It was the strongest Indian Ocean Dipole on record,” says Singh. The Atlantic Ocean was also unusually warm from 1877 to 1879. “Following the El Niño, it peaked to the most extreme temperatures on record,” says Singh.
