Life has thrived on earth for at least 540 million years.
The Washington Post says earth is close to the coldest of the last 500 million years, and says this provides “a warning on the consequences of human-caused warming”

This is the conclusion of researchers at NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).”

There has been no trend in Arctic sea ice extent for over seventeen years.

NASA’s leading experts predicted the Arctic would be ice-free sometime between 2012 and 2018.
“NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally said: “At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012, much faster than previous predictions.”
Could all Arctic ice be gone by 2012?
Antarctic sea ice cover is close to average since 1981, and is more than 1.5 million km² higher than winter 1966. The press describes this as “record winter low” and “permanent shift.”

“in August 1966 the maximum sea ice extent fell to 15.9×10 km ± 0.3×10 km .”
Extent has been higher than last year almost every day this year, by an average of 548,658 km².

“Provide an additional $570 billion in Foreign Military Financing to ensure Ukraine has the tools to defend itself.”
On June 25, 2009, John Kerry said the Arctic would be ice-free by 2014.
“You have sea ice which is melting at a rate that the Arctic Ocean now increasingly is exposed. In five years, scientists predict we will have the first ice-free Arctic summer”
His forecast didn’t do very well.
So in 2014 he announced that “the science” was absolutely certain.
“And let there be no doubt in anybody’s mind that the science is absolutely certain”

Now Kerry says the First Amendment is an impediment to government controlling the flow of information.
Asia is leaving the rest of the world in the dust for both electricity generation and CO2 emissions. The west is voluntarily self-destructing, in order to facilitate their worship of greenhouse gases.
Google Gemini boldly asserts that there has been an increase in hurricanes due to the burning of fossil fuels. There is zero evidence to support any of this propaganda.
“there is strong scientific consensus that the increasing intensity and frequency of hurricanes are linked to climate change, which is primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels.”
There has been no trend in the Arctic sea ice minimum, mean, or maximum extent since 2007, but Google Gemini boldly asserts that there has been a decline.
“Arctic sea ice extent has significantly declined since 2007.”

At the Nobel Prize ceremony on December 10, 2007, Al Gore predicted an ice-free Arctic by 2014. Since then there has been no trend in the minimum, mean or maximum extent.
