Real Climate Science

I shall return just once, to point out how wrong you’ve been about the sea ice, in September

• “Griff”  July 29, 2018

Just like Christine Ford, climate scientists are 100% certain global warming is opening up the Northwest Passage.

There are exactly zero ships in the Northwest Passage, and the ice blocking the Northwest Passage in the Beaufort Sea was the thickest on record for September.

And the problem isn’t just the Beaufort Sea.  My Northwest Passage voyage was cancelled because of too much ice in the Canadian Archipelago.

Last week, the Fairbanks Daily Miner announced that the completely blocked Northwest Passage was open for business. They also said Amundsen required three years to get through the passage.

Reality isn’t big among journalists.  The passage is closed this year, but Amundsen said it was open in 1903, during NASA’s official coldest years on record. He said he could have made it through in one year – had that been his intent.

This graph pretty much sums up the relationship between leftists and reality.

Meanwhile, the New York Times says the “old ice is disappearing.”

This is impressive, because nine years ago experts said the old ice was effectively gone. Apparently it has gone lower than zero since then.

Almost all of the current ice has survived for one year, and is now multi-year ice.

There is nothing happening in the Arctic. The usual barrage of lies by climate scientists and the press is happening in climate controlled offices at much lower latitudes.

Undaunted by reality, the CBC continues promoting the same old lies.

I make a tweet about sea ice in the Beaufort Sea which includes a circle showing the area I am discussing, and get accused of being massively dishonest – because some alarmist doesn’t want to talk about that part of the Arctic, and because he thinks 2003 was five years ago.

Twitter feels threatened by history.

Susan Ford doesn’t remember where or when the attempted murder and rape occurred. She has no corroborating evidence or witnesses, didn’t tell any of her friends, and left her friends in the house with drunken rapists and murderers.

She didn’t bother to warn her friends, try to get her friends out of the house, or even bother to call them up the next day to see if they were OK.

But 35 years later her therapist has “notes” which no one bothered to check, and she took a lie detector test which no one bothered to check. And according to the press, she was a credible witness.

You really can’t make this stuff up.  The left lies about everything, and then brainless Republicans sit back and let it happen facilitate it.

Climate scientists expected to find melting ice in extremely cold Antarctica, but discovered that the Ross Ice Shelf was actually growing. And they need more money to study this surprising phenomenon.

Ross Ice Shelf Bore in Antarctica Reveals Freezing Ice, Not Melting, Though More Study Needed

The Ross Ice Shelf has been retreating for hundreds of years, and retreated 30 miles before 1930.  But now scientists see the ice growing.

At the peak of the ice age scare, the National Science Foundation said the Ross Ice Shelf was collapsing, and it had “nothing to do with a warmer climate.”

Climate science has nothing to do with science, and everything to do with fulfilling political expectations of the left.

This is the first year in the Danish Meteorological Institute record, with thick ice in the Beaufort Sea all the way to the Canadian Coast at the end of September.
