Real Climate Science

“The world’s climate is changing. Of that scientists are firmly convinced. But in what direction and why are subjects of deepening debate.

There are specialists who say that a new ice age is on the way—the inevitable consequence of a natural cyclic process, or as a result of man-made pollution of the atmosphere. And there are those who say that such pollution may actually head off an ice age.

Sooner or later a major cooling of the climate is widely considered inevitable. Hints that it may already have begun a evident. The drop in mean temperatures since 1950 in the Northern Hemisphere has been sufficient. for example. to shorten Britain’s growing season for crops by two weeks.

As noted in a recent report of the National Academy of Sciences, “The global patterns of food production and population that have evolved are implicitly dependent on the climate of the present century.”

He had to leave his office one day last week to take his fully vaccinated daughter to the emergency room with some “very strange medical issues.” But they wouldn’t see her because she tested positive for COVID-19. She is feeling better today and he has determined from this episode that the “vaccine apparently worked.”

“Except over a small area, it is generally understood, the glaciers of the world are retreating to the mountains. The glacier on Mount Sermiento in South America, which descended to the sea when Darwin found it in 1836, is now separated from the shore by a vigorous growth of timber. The Jacobshaven glacier in Greenland has retreated four miles since 1850, and the East glacier in Spitzbergen is more than a mile away from its original terminal”

“In March, a NASA-led research team announced that Jakobshavn Isbrae, is … thickening and advancing toward the ocean”

Following the study’s publication, additional analyses show Jakobshavn grew thicker by 22 and 33 yards (20 to 30 meters) each year from 2016 to 2019.”
