This 2015 University of California article has lots of climate propaganda key phrases, invoking fear, terror, it is getting worse, and appeals to authority.

A glacier in northeast Greenland that holds enough water to raise global sea levels by more than 18 inches has come unmoored from a stabilizing sill and is crumbling into the North Atlantic Ocean. Losing mass at a rate of 5 billion tons per year, glacier Zachariae Isstrom entered a phase of accelerated retreat in 2012, according to findings published in the current issue of Science.

The research team – including scientists from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of Kansas – used data from aerial surveys conducted by NASA’s Operation IceBridge and satellite-based observations acquired by multiple international space agencies (NASA, ESA, CSA, DLR, JAXA and ASI) coordinated by the Polar Space Task Group.

The glacier didn’t actually retreat at all from 2012 to 2019.

In 1939, all of the glaciers in Greenland were melting rapidly and facing “catastrophic collapse.”

Greenland’s largest glacier shrank rapidly during the second half of the 19th century.

But that glacier is growing now, and National Geographic says it is bad news.

According to NASA, glaciers melt when earth is cold, and grow when earth is warm.

The largest ice cap in Greenland didn’t exist 4,000 years ago, because temperatures were too warm during the Holocene Optimum.

Not even trying: the corruption of real science Bruce G Charlton University of Buckingham Press: Buckingham, UK. 2012

Briefly, the argument of this book is that real science is dead, and the main reason is that professional researchers are not even trying to seek the truth and speak the truth; and the reason for this is that professional ‘scientists’ no longer believe in the truth – no longer believe that there is an eternal unchanging reality beyond human wishes and organization which they have a duty to seek and proclaim to the best of their (naturally limited) abilities. Hence the vast structures of personnel and resources that constitute modern ‘science’ are not real science but instead merely a professional research bureaucracy, thus fake or pseudo-science; regulated by peer review (that is, committee opinion) rather than the search-for and service-to reality. Among the consequences are that modern publications in the research literature must be assumed to be worthless or misleading and should always be ignored. In practice, this means that nearly all ‘science’ needs to be demolished (or allowed to collapse) and real science carefully rebuilt outside the professional research structure, from the ground up, by real scientists who regard truth-seeking as an imperative and truthfulness as an iron law.

NOAA has released a set of maps showing that the US used to be about one degree below normal, and is now about one degree above normal. They say this is due to “climate change.”

What is actually happening is that they are tampering with the data to cool the past about one degree and warm the present by about one degree.

The US hasn’t warmed.

The National Climate Assessment shows that summers used to be much hotter in the US.

But the US population has more than doubled since the 1950s, so Biden is promising per capita emissions at the level of the 19th century. The only way this could be accomplished would be by wiping out three fourths of the US population.

As CO2 has increased, life expectancy has increased with it.  This is largely because the availability of fossil fuels finally gave people the ability to protect themselves from a naturally dangerous climate. Most people do not have the ability to survive winter without heat from burning hydrocarbons.
