Another Climate Scare Hoax Exposed - Polar IceMelt Is Slowing, Not Accelerating.

 Those of you who live less than 250 feet above sea level can rest easy. In spite of all the hysterical scaremongering about polar ice melting and sea levels rising from the Cimate Catastrophists, a new study, (one of many to produce the same result, none of which have made headline news, or even been fully eported in mainstream media, has shown that in fact polar ice ment (a yearly occurrence between May and September in the Arctic and November to March at the Antarctic ice cap,) is actually slowing.

This is welcome news for people who live neaer the coast but does not make much difference to be as my house sits 500 feet above sea level, and is a positive disaster for billionaire psychopaths like Bill Gates and others who have planned to scam governments out of obscene amounts of money for schemes to save the planet by, for example, spraying clouds of chemical dust in the upper atmosphere to shut out sunlight

Explore our archived posts below this extract to learn more about the climate catastrophe hoax. 

via Climate Depot:

A new study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters finds that contrary to many mainstream media reports, the amount of sea ice in the Arctic has not changed appreciably over the past two decades.

After the significant decrease in 2012, many researchers studying climate change claimed it was a harbinger of a permanent decline in Arctic sea ice due to climate change. Of course, sea ice waxes and wanes each year, but beginning in 1995, sea ice began a general, relatively steep decline, reaching its nadir in 2012 and then stabilizing amid yearly ups and downs.

This new research indicates that the popular reading of the situation was wrong. The measured decline slowed as early as 2005 and annual losses remained low or even flat, with the exception of 2012. If this research is correct, over the entire 20-year period arctic sea-ice loss has been slow and minimal. As the international team of mathematicians and physicists from the Universities of Exeter in the U.K. and Columbia in the United States write,

Over the past two decades, Arctic sea-ice loss has slowed considerably, with no statistically significant decline in September sea-ice area since 2005. This pause is robust across observational data sets, metrics, and seasons. … The modeling evidence suggests that internal variability has substantially offset anthropogenically forced sea-ice loss in recent decades.

Despite the authors’ claims that barely measurable sea-ice loss, a loss that is not statistically significant, is consistent with climate model projections for short periods of time ...

Official Advice - Prepare For Blackouts This Winter

The UK government is putting plans together for days of organised blackouts this winter, in what they call a "reasonable worst-case scenario" for energy shortages, according to reports in manstream media. Naturally they are blaming this on the embargo on importing gas from Russia but in reality Britain has never imported any more than a small amout of its gas from Russia.

"Disappearing Ice" Narrative Evaporating": New Data Shows Arctic Ice Cap 26% Larger Than 2012

 by Arthur Foxake, 28 December 2024

In 2007 a BBC News article titled "Arctic summers ice-free 'by 2013'," which warned readers of the supposed threat that "latest computer modelling studies indicate northern polar waters could be ice-free in summers within just 5-6 years."

   

 images via Zero Hedge

 

The BBC article's baseless claim was designed to instill climate fears across the public to ram through a radical de-growth and depopulation climate agenda across the Western world based on pseudo - scientific bollocks generated by incompetent amateur computer programmers calling themselves climate scientists.

Once you learn that scientsts are whores who will rig their experiments and syudies to produce the result the organisation funding them has asked for, that everything the MSM and political servants of elite paymasters say is an inversion in reality, and that governments,the United Nations and all the other QANGOs and bureaucracies are not your allies but are collaborating with billionaire psychopaths who want to control everything, understanding the world becomes easier. 

The ruling elites and their servants in mainstream media say CO2 is a pollutant, when in fact it is plant food. They say CO2,levels have never been higher, when in fact on a geological timescale going back 500 million years they’ve only been lower in the past 500 years. 

This kind of misinformatory jiggery pokery applies not only to global warming but to everything else they lie about, from the food pyramid (people should not be eating a diet high in carbohydrates as they’ve recommended to us,  but a low carb, high protein, high fat diet) to feminism (Western women are not oppressed as they say, but have always been the most privileged social caste in human history) to telling us diversity makes us stronger as the mass immigration they have engineered undermines our civilised societies.. 

Once you begin to see all these inversions in reality, you realize they’ve been used as a form of social control for a century. Ever since that old fraud Freud’s nephew Eddie Bernays told the ruling class the way to rule over the plebs most effectively is to create so many lies nobody knows what the truth is anymore.

Which culminates in little tragedies like the COVID global genocide, driven by the lies and hysteria of the same mythmakers, the phony climate crisis,  net zero scam, and the proxy war in Ukraine.

When President Biden and other advocates of wind and solar generation speak, they appear to believe that the challenge posed is just a matter of currently having too much fossil fuel generation and not enough wind and solar; and therefore, accomplishing the transition to "net zero" will be a simple matter of building sufficient wind and solar facilities and having those facilities replace the current ones that use the fossil fuels.

Climate Scaremongers Crank Up Hysteria Over Antarctic Ice Loss but Recent Data Shows Sea Ice Levels Similar to 1966

 

Antactic Ice - Picture credit: Science News

 

After the COVID years and another round of 'The Russians Are Coming' scarmongering the Warmageddonist movement has returned to the headlines this year as the latest in a never ending stream in the 'existential threat to humanity' series. In an unusually hot, dry June here in the UK, alarmists were whipping up fears over runaway warming causing more deaths than COVID (which actually didn't cause many deaths at all,) and how we had passed the points of no return with climate change and disaster was imminent.

An unusually cold, wet July scuppered that one.

But the Warmageddonist sect is like any other quasi religious,pseudo scientific cult and no matter how many time their forecasts of doom are debunked by events or their predictions are so far of the mark they cannot even be considered wrong, the scaremonger simply carry on as if nothing had happened and offer a new but equally whacky doomsday scenario.

 Their latest is a warning that a supposed low rate of winter sea ice in Antarctica shows the ice is melting at a much faster rate than was peviously thought and is going to drown half the worlds population. Clive Cookson, science editor of the august and level headed newpaper The Financial Times has recently written thatAntarctica “faces a catastrophic cascade of extreme environmental events… that will affect climate around the world”.

Strangely the scientific report written by a science editor and citing several peer reviewed scientific research papers overlooks that fact that sea ice is the ice that floats on the surface of the ocean which, because ice displaces its own weight of water and thus its melting does not affect water levels either way, while faithfully reporting the 'imminent disaster' narrative.   At risk of stating the obvious, there is also no mention that Antarctica sea ice was at a record high in 2014, but curiously missing from all the hysteria is the fact that reanalysed early satellite data shows similar levels of winter ice in 1966. Even more curious is that minimal investigative journalism is required to expose this information, since it is supplied by the frequently-consulted National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC).

NSIDC cites evidence that early Nimbus satellite data revealed winter sea ice extent of around 15 million square kilometres in 1966 “may have rivalled the very low level seen today”. 

Satellite monitoring of geophysical change was in its infancy back in 1966 so conclusions drawn from the reanalysed data cannot be taken as 100% accurate but they are at least a guide based on real world data unlike the data used by modern climate scientists of ignoring empirical data because it seldom gives the required answer and relying completely on output from mathematical models which are fed 'adjusted data.' 

However the NSIDC says the findings are consistent with observations that Antarctica sea ice extent is “highly variable”. Last year, a group of American geographers and statisticians examined historical observations of Antarctica sea ice extent and found “statistically significant” positive trends since 1979. Furthermore, these trends are consistent across all four seasons compared with “statistically significant decreases” throughout much of the early and middle 20th Century.

One of the sources quoted by the FT article came from a report commissioned by the Net Zero obsessed U.K. Government. Lead author Professor Martin Siegert from the University of Exeter claims he is “staggered by the amount of change we’ve seen already in the past few years”. Boggart Blog says Siegert is talking bollocks and he knows it. Meaningful records of Antarctica sea ice levels only begin in 1979, but it is more than likely that, like ice in the Arctic, it waxes and wanes on a natural cyclical basis. 

Not so long ago the Warmageddonists were predicting the end of life on earth because the coral on Australia's Great Barrier Reef was dying, which naturally they insisted was due to climate change. But now, even though they claim global warming is out of control, data from recent observations shows that the Great barrier Reef coral is recovering rapidly. The same thing happened a few years ago when the Warmageddonists were wailing and gnashing their teeth over the imminent extinction of polar bears. A few years later it was revealed by naturalists that polar bear numbers had been increasing and the species was doing very well. This blog speculated that less polar bears had been seen for a while because they were fed up of being harassed bu climate scientists they moved to more repote parts of the arctic.

But like the Great Barrier Reef coral and the polar bear population, the politically-inspired alarmists cry wolf when statistics show a drop, but quietly ignore the story move on to pick the next cherry when numbers recover. Even though carbon dioxide is well mixed over the entire southern hemisphere, the small contribution made by humans is somehow held responsible, while cyclical changes offer the opportunity for Greta Thunberg-style contributions to climate science knowledge.

 All the Antarctic ice shelves that are reportedly breaking up survived greater warming experienced during the Mediaeval Warm Period, the Roman Warm Period, the Minoan Warm Period and the Holocene Climate Optimum. What is different now? Could it be that the ice shelves have failed structurally because of the huge weight of ice that has built up behind or the millennia along with the pushing and pulling of the moon? Or is it because of, or and, the numerous aircraft landing and taking off and the seismic studies that use explosives?

Doomsters like Prof. Siegert seem to exist in a perpetual state of confuddlement around ordinary climatological cycles that were described in detail decades before the climate change circus performers put up their big tent. Now it is stating to look as if their tricks and stunts have been rumbled and more people are becoming sceptical about all these  predictions that never seem to materyialise.

 As The Kinks song Death Of A Clown puts it:

The old fortune teller lies dead on the floor
Nobody needs fortunes told anymore

If the climate scientists can't either up their game or admit they have overstated the likely effects of perfectly natural fluctuations in climate conditions, soon all that will be left of their circus is the clown show.

When President Biden and other advocates of wind and solar generation speak, they appear to believe that the challenge posed is just a matter of currently having too much fossil fuel generation and not enough wind and solar; and therefore, accomplishing the transition to "net zero" will be a simple matter of building sufficient wind and solar facilities and having those facilities replace the current ones that use the fossil fuels.

Blow To EV Lobby: Germany and Italy Block EU Big To Halt Manufacture Of Conventional Cars

Two of the European Union's most powerful member states have united to throw one of the Union's keynote green policies under a juggernaut. Germany and Italy joined forces to thwart a European Union ban on the manufacture and sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035 and have demanded exemptions to protect their domestic car industries which earn €billions in export revenue and provide hundreds of thousands of jobs. A revolt by the two countries forced EU leaders to delay a key vote on new regulations which would outlaw the building of Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) cars in twelve years time.

The draconian measures which amount to a prohibition of car ownership for people on low to median incomes were drafted last year and would prevent the sale of new cars unless they are "zero emissions". Electric cars, aside from all the attendant technical problems, are prohibitively expensive to buy new for most people and replacement batteries after five or so years use will cost almost as much as buying a new car.

Though the policy has not yet been ratified by member states, Germany and Italy, along with allies, is seeking an exemption for cars running on so-called e-fuels, such as kerosene made from waste, biodiesel and synthetic petrol, which are being developed by some manufacturers.

The action has forced EU officials to delay a vote that was sheduled for Tuesday (7 Marc 2023) because the laws cannot pass without Berlin's backing and have led to a split within Chancellor Olaf Scholz's coalition government, with his FDP partners agitating for the EU's plans to be loosened while Germany's loonytoon Greens are demanding even more stringent anti - car measures.

FDP Bundestag member Volker Wissing, transport minister in the coalition Government, said: "It is contradictory when the EU Commission calls for stronger climate protection targets on the one hand, but on the other hand makes it more difficult to achieve these targets through overambitious regulation."

Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission president, is  expected to meet Chancellor Scholz over the weekend in a bid to to resolve the row as diplomats commute between countries hoping to avert a damaging split in EU unity over net zero lunacies that are putting fotunes in the already overstuffed pockets of financiers, corporate investors and peddlers of dodgy 'science.'

Matteo Salvini, Italy’s deputy prime minister, cheered the delay and added: “The voice of millions of Italians has been heard."

The last-minute hold-up is highly unusual, with the upcoming vote previously seen as a formality, but could be a harbinger of more serious trouble for the electric car industry because in the second half of 2022 sales plummeted as costs rose due to lifting of subsidies, soaring energy costs, lack of support infrastructure and shortages of components.

Buyers Going Cold On Electric Cars As Costs Rocket

 


Several articles questioning the feasibility of the UK governments policy to ban the sale of new Internal Combustion Engined (ICE) cars after 2030, as part of their 'net zero' drive, have appeared in the pages of Britain's most popular news websites recently. The authors have gone to great lengths to the problems and issues with EVs, problems that writers in alt_media have highlighted for years, some providing excellent technical analysis, some displaying  wide knowledge of mining and processing the minerals essential to battery manufacture and others like myself focusing on the nonsensical economics behind the case for electrification of personal transport. Unlike these amateur (in the truest sense,) efforts the mainstream journalists rarely follow through with any analysis or conclusions, are they hoping to prepare the way for a change in Government policy?

A good example of this dawning sense of reality, wrtiten by Howard Mustoe appeared in The Telegraph today:

Motorists are rapidly losing interest in electric cars as the cost of power surges and petrol and diesel prices continue to fall, the AA has suggested.

The proportion of car buyers considering purchasing an electric model this year has slumped to less than a fifth compared with one in four a year ago, its research found.

It came as the boss of Stellantis, which owns Vauxhall, warned that the middle classes cannot afford the cost of electric cars without the support of state subsidies.

Carlos Tavares, chief executive of Stellantis, said: “The most significant problem of electrification is the affordability for the middle classes.

“That's what we are now fighting against – how fast can we reduce the costs to bring the EV [electric vehicle] to the level of affordability that people can pay for without subsidies.”

The up-front cost of plug-in vehicles has become unaffordable for many as rampant inflation makes models even more expensive. For example, a Volkswagen Golf costs from around £25,000, while a similarly-sized all-electric VW ID.3 starts at about £36,400. Prices for Nissan's battery-powered Leaf start at £29,000, while its combustion engine model Juke starts at £20,700.

At the same time, falling prices at the pump means many drivers are holding onto petrol and diesel cars for longer.

As it is; next year there is a Government quota for 22% of car sales to be EVs which will increase up to 2030 when the sale of conventional ICE cars will be banned. At which point comparisons of EV and ICE cars will become irrelevant as there will be no ICE cars available. The logical conclusion is that unless there is a rapid and significant change in technology, pricing and electric supply in the UK and if current Government car policy remains unchanged; the UK will see a massive decline in private car ownership and usage. It is difficult not to conclude that this is the unspoken and unstated objective of the net-zero powers that be.

If this happens it will be a monumental social change, much of the UK has grown up as the ‘Top Gear’ generation with cars at the cornerstone of life. Much of Holiday, Leisure tourism and social life centres around the car. Without a car life in many rural areas becomes quite difficult. There is little sign that this or a possible future Labour Gov will change this EV car policy, in which case it will lead to an incredible seismic shift for the worse in the lives of most ordinary people. but the whole of the Green Lunacy fad often seems to be an attack on the less well off.so much for all that political pontificating about equality and inclusiveness.

  After years of unchallened hype about EVs being the future of road transport and how it is necessary to shift from ICEs to battery driven cars it seems the public and the media have at last realised how an EV can easily morph into a wonky proposition and why, after electric cars first hit the road 30 years before the first petrol car was driven, electrics have never been able to compete.

The battery guarantee is three years for the most affordable models, or eight years in case a Tesla (providing it does not incinerate the car's occupants sooner). And yes, "we" know the price for the battery replacement is half of the whole car price but for used electrics the price of a new battery pack is often greater than the value of the car,.

  Owners need a driveway and a garage with a charging point and WiFi - or a lot of spare time.

And when - during the winter - the temperature drops below - 10 °C, the driving range of the car halves. The range also halves if the temperature is 0 °C outside, and "we" drive with the cabin heater on.If the driver is prepared to risk hypothermia the range only drops 25%.

If the temperature outside is - 10 °C and "we" drive with the cabin heater on, the range is only 25%, and "we" better stay at home?

"We" also need to make sure to live within few kilometres from some fast chargers, and the routes to all our destinations do include one or more fast chargers.

There are too many shadows lurking from behind an EVs. It would be nice to drive a car that don't spew noxious fumes, but what if the battery fail after three years? That's from £ 15 to 20K. What if "we" find all the few chargers on the motorway either busy or out of service? What if we are caught in a winter blizzard? What if run out of power on the motorway - can't "we" have the equivalent of a Jerry can? The number of "what ifs" is still uncomfortably high for "us" to buy an EV and be happy and relaxed.

And now the cost of running them is rising and governments are looking for ways to plug the hole in revenue that will be left by the loss of taxes on fuel etc. those costs are only going to rise even more.

But don't get me wronmg here, I am not anti - EV per se: I think they have a great futures as buses and taxis, for urban delivery vehicles and as city runabout for those who can afford a very expensive second car.

Amazing Increase in Global Sea Ice Confounds the Net Zero Warmageddonists

 

posted by Arthur Foxake 28 November 2022

 

 For years now we have been assailed by stories from Climate Change alarmists about the catastrophic consequences of disappearing sea ice which was melting rapidly due to man made climate change. Sea levels would rise, low lying nations and islands would be swamped under salt water, there would be mass extinctions of plant and animal species and it would be impossible to get a pizza that was not soggy. 

 SHOCK! HORROR! According to a new study based on satellite data, in 2022 there is more Artic sea ice that at any time in the past 30 years. So why after all those dire predictions of doom and devastation has Arctic sea ice cover come roaring back so quickly over the last few years? Nobody knows – apparently not one scientist on the planet can tell you, writes Willis Eschenbach in a short essay for the climate alarmism watchdog site Watts Up With That? 

 It might be noted, of course, that there was always a plethora of 'peer reviewed' scientific papers to back up warning of the many catastrophes that never happened or explanations of how human activity was to blame whenever there was a cyclical blip in regular climate patterns, and mostly these related to how humans were hellbent on destroying all life on earth. Ice melting at the Poles is still one of the crucial supports for the entire Net Zero political agenda.

The above graph shows changes in Arctic sea ice cover during the satellite era. Values are anomalies from the 1991-2020 average. Eschenbach notes that since around 1990, people have been talking about how human-emitted carbon dioxide is reducing the amount of Arctic sea ice. When it started dropping very fast, there was talk we’d passed a ‘tipping’ point from which the ice would never recover. Over this time, noted Eschenbach, predictions of an ice-free Arctic ocean abounded.

Obsessions are hard to shake off and the obessive doom-mongering of the climate alarmist industry is no exception. Despite the recent recovery in sea ice and the increase in numbers of Polar Bears which were predicted to be extinct by now, there is still talk of tipping points – mostly an invention of so-called ‘attribution’ computer models – being passed. In his recent Frozen Planet II agitprop series, the BBC's old far in chief, Sir David Attenborough made a number of model-produced references to the Arctic being free of summer sea ice by 2035.

So why did the Antarctic ice pack, unlike the Arctic pack, start increasing quite rapidly around 2008? Nobody knows, the mathematical modellers say (and we must never forget that all the evidence for catatrophic climate change presented by 'scientists' comes from mathematical models based on 'adjusted data' rather than from information gathered in the real world. Why did the Antarctic differ from the Arctic by plateauing from 2010 to 2015, but then mirror the Arctic by dropping rapidly, and then turn around and start rebounding? You guessed it – nobody knows. 

Why has global sea ice followed this pattern, while CO2 continues to rise in the atmosphere, he asks. The politically-motivated alarmists constantly tell us the ice will soon all disappear. According to Eschenbach, not one climate scientist on the planet predicted these large changes in sea ice.

The study's author concludes:

Here’s the strangest part. Despite the failure of the many predictions of an ‘ice-free Arctic’, despite the falsified claims that we’ve passed a ‘tipping point’, despite the fact that the reasons for the curious and unexpected changes in the polar sea ice cannot be explained by anyone and the changes weren’t predicted by anyone – climate change scientists still insist that they can tell us what the global temperature will be like in the year 2100.

Of course, there are many sceptical scientists who seek answers to the cyclical nature of global ice outside the restrictive confines of ‘settled’ climate science. As the Daily Sceptic has often reported, short-term movements of ice are affected by often incalculable atmospheric heat exchanges, ocean currents and many other natural climatic variations.

The geologist Professor Ian Plimer recently noted in an essay published by Quadrant, there have been six major ice ages and each started when there was far more CO2 in the atmosphere than now. Taking the longer view, Plimer said that we are currently in an ice age initiated 34 million years ago, the current interglacial started 14,400 years ago in the Northern Hemisphere, and we were at the peak of this interglacial 4,000-7,000 years ago in the Holocene Optimum.

Two American geologists recently found that over half of the Arctic’s glaciers and ice caps that exist today did not exist or were smaller 3,400 to 10,000 years ago. At the time, atmospheric CO2 ranged between 260 to 270 parts per million, compared to the current 410 ppm. At the peak of this interglacial Arctic warming, temperatures were noted to be several degrees warmer than today. Change in the size of glaciers and ice caps over the last few centuries “is only a partial return to a former period of much greater warmth”, the geologists suggest.

Political tactics designed to scare entire populations into abasndoning the prosperity civilisation has brought and the great majority of us delivering ourselves into states of existence similar medieval servitude in compliance with the demands of the Net Zero agenda, while the obscenely rich business and financial elites grow even more rich and powerful, pay little attention to bothersome things like facts.

Global warming ran out of steam a couple of decades ago, and the latest satellite data for November is almost certain to extend the current eight year, one month pause in the warming trend (which was a minor blip at the end of a sixteen yeear pause. Instead a ‘highway to hell’ message is broadcast ad nauseum, with predictions of famine drought, floods, wildfires, hurricanes and deadly heatwaves, based almost solely on output from mathematical models fed with invented data attributing bad or ‘extreme’ weather to the activities of humans.

Despite the overwhelming evidence from the past that global temperatures can rise and fall rapidly, an entire climate industry, backed by almost unlimited transfers of wealth from often poor to rich people, has sprung up forecasting the impending Warmageddon if there is a rise of a few parts of a degree centigrade.
