“Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more, Men were deceivers ever,- One foot in sea and one on shore, To one thing constant never.”

? William Shakespeare

With temperatures of -30C and Arctic sea ice nearing its winter maximum, government climate scientists and their useful idiots in the press announce that Arctic sea ice is “near an all time low.”

In the actual Arctic, sea ice extent is increasing, more than double six months ago, and essentially identical to all recent years.

Arctic sea ice volume is increasing at what is possibly a record rate for March, and is up nearly 500% over six months ago.

The ice edge is very close to the 1981-2010 mean, everywhere except the Bering Sea where southerly winds last week pushed the ice edge back.

Most people with an IQ higher than a turnip understand that water freezes at temperatures of -30C, This apparently excludes climate scientists and journalists.

With the entire country of Canada locked in an Arctic deep freeze, one would think that Canadian journalists would be able to figure out that the Arctic is very cold and the ice is not melting.  But no indication of that to date.

10-Day Temperature Outlook

Ten years ago I wrote my first climate article at The Register.

Two authorities provide us with analysis of long-term surface temperature trends. Both agree on the global temperature trend until 1998, at which time a sharp divergence occurred. The UK Meteorological Office’s Hadley Center for Climate Studies Had-Crut data shows worldwide temperatures declining since 1998. According to Hadley’s data, the earth is not much warmer now than it was than it was in 1878 or 1941.

This was the Had-Crut graph in the article.

This is the current Had-Crut graph.

Note that the post-1998 cooling has since disappeared.

Since my 2008 article, NASA has also cooled the past and warmed the present.

The year after I wrote that article, the Climategate E-Mails were released.

“I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith’s to hide the decline.”

• Phil Jones CRU

The original context of “Hiding The Decline” was not hiding the post-1998 decline in temperatures, as this 2011 BBC article pointed out. Richard Black at the BBC angrily announced that CRU was not hiding the post-1998 decline, before he realized that isn’t what people were complaining about.

The original “hide the decline” claim is one of the most easily de-bunked in the entire pantheon of easily-debunkable “sceptic” claims. Phil Jones wrote the email in 1999, immediately following what still ranks as one of the hottest years on record, and well before the idea of a “slowdown” or “hiatus” or even “decline” in warming gained currency. So it can’t have had anything to do with hiding a global temperature decline.

But now, CRU is hiding the post-1998 decline.

And the hiatus which the BBC wrote about in 2011 has since been officially disappeared by the climate mafia.

Even though it was central to the last IPCC report

This article appeared on Real Clear Politics in 2009.  But since then, the political left has lost any remaining shred of integrity they might have had,

Deceitful manipulation of data, concealment or straightforward destruction of inconvenient evidence, vindictive conspiracies to silence critics, are par for the course in all scientific debate. But in displaying all these characteristics, the CRU e-mails graphically undermine the claim of the Warmers that they command the moral as well as scientific high ground.

Climate scientists have announced that Greenland melting is the fastest in 400 years, and accelerating.

SCIENCE: Greenland ice sheet melting faster than ever recorded — Thursday, March 29, 2018

This is quite amazing, considering Greenland gained ice last year.

Greenland’s Petermann Glacier has been growing ten feet per day for the last five years.

Greenland’s glaciers weren’t always growing though. Eighty years ago they were melting rapidly and facing catastrophic collapse.

17 Dec 1939, Page 15 – Harrisburg Sunday Courier at Newspapers.com

According to climate experts, expanding ice is melting the fastest on record, and the melt is accelerating. As far as I can tell, climate science is a profession dominated by frauds, liars, criminals and idiots.  Or all of the above.

Catherine McKenna believes she can cool Canada down below the current springtime temperature of –35C, by making heating fuels unaffordable for poor people.

Climate Reanalyzer

No surprise there. Progressives have always believed sacrifice is needed to control the climate.

What is unique about Climate Barbie’s thinking is her belief that Canada would be better off even colder than it is now.

According to the Danish Meteorological Institute, Arctic sea ice volume is growing rapidly, normal and the highest in several years.

DMI Modelled ice thickness

The extent of thick ice has doubled over the last ten years.

This is of course the exact opposite of what fraudsters at National Geographic and Newsweek are claiming.

For people on the political left, facts, science and data are simply not important. Apparently it is OK for them to simply make things up.

During the 16th century, progressives blamed witches for the weather. Now they blame Republicans.

This morning I made a video discussing how Tuvalu is getting larger, and Pacific island governments are trying to scam western countries into giving them money with their global warming guilt BS. It didn’t take long for the next South Pacific scamster to check in.

He said he had reminded the United Nations three times of the urgent need for Pacific Islands to be compensated for their land loss due to sea level rise.

Heidi Cullen’s Climate Central claims that emissions from your SUV are causing a decline in North American snow cover, due to winter precipitation falling as rain instead of snow.

Snow Cover on the Decline in North America | Climate Central

Fascinating theory, except that winter snow extent has been increasing in North America for 50 years.

Rutgers University Climate Lab :: Global Snow Lab

Annual snow cover has been increasing in North America since CO2 reached 350 PPM.

Rutgers University Climate Lab :: Global Snow Lab

Current snow cover is far above normal in North America, and climate experts are now blaming all the excess snow on global warming (of course.)

Rutgers University Climate Lab :: Global Snow Lab

According to scientists, when global warming isn’t causing a reduction in snow, it is causing an increase in snow.

But never mind the increasing snow and record snow on the ground, Wired says ski areas are suffering from a lack of snow. Particularly in California.

Last winter (2016-2017) was the snowiest winter on record in California with 63 feet of snow, and they are buried in snow again this year.
