Scientists have determined there is no measured data to “indicate thicker than present ice after 4ka” at a West Antarctic study site near the Thwaites “Doomsday” Glacier. Any ice melt observed today is thus “reversible”… and natural. The Thwaites, Pine Island, and Pope Glaciers in the Amundsen Sea region of West Antarctica are all situated […]

The observed incapacity for southern elephant seals (SES) to withstand late 20th and early 21st century extreme cold and expanding sea ice conditions suggest coastal Antarctica (Victoria Land Coast, VLC) climate is colder and icier today than any time since the last glacial. A new study even suggests the last glacial (CO2 ~190 ppm) may […]

Independent analyses from multiple independent sources indicate Arctic Siberia was 3 to 5Β°C warmer than today during the peak of the last glacial, or when CO2 levels were below 200 ppm. Measurements from Antarctica’s ice sheet are almost invariably used to characterize both the global-scale atmospheric CO2 levels and climate for the last 10s to […]

New climate science videos now in English – made in Germany: ‘World Climate News’ YouTube channel.Β In the first video: Alarmist sea level rise scenarios looking more unlikely…some Antarctic regions will see cooling… The German Die kalte Sonne site, and then later Klimanachrichten now presents its climate and energy news videos in English at its […]

Chart by Mrs. Heller, a.k.a. Kirye Despite all the claims of a “rapidly warming planet”, we know Antarctic sea ice extent has seen a rather impressive upward trend over the past 40 years, which tells us cooling is more likely at play. Here’s southern hemisphere sea ice extent chart (up to 2017): Antarctic sea ice […]

New studies affirm Antarctica has not been cooperating with either the global warming or “polar amplification” narratives. “The Antarctic continent has not warmed in the last seven decades, despite a monotonic increase in the atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases.” – Singh and Polvani, 2020 Image Source: Singh and Polvani, 2020 Antarctica Peninsula “cooling period over […]

Scientists struggle to keep their stories straight regarding the anthropogenic CO2 impact on polar climates. It is claimed that anthropogenic CO2 emissions from burning fossil fuels are responsible for amplifying warming (“polar amplification“) and ice melt in polar climates, consistent with pronouncements pertaining to anthropogenic global warming. However, Antarctica’s Larsen Ice Shelf station indicates a […]

The German Klimaschau here presents a new video, this one featuring a new study on the Antarctic Ice Shelf published in Nature Geoscience: Ice sheet “has grown” According to a University of Cambridge press release dated May 13, 2022, “The eastern Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet has grown in area over the last 20 years, due […]

There are four main reasons why Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf may be melting. None of them involve human forcing or CO2 concentration changes. Scientists have recently completed an exhaustive 20-year study of the “most significant causes of melting” of the Larsen C Ice Shelf in the Antarctic Peninsula. They have concluded the 4 main […]

Today we look at the polar ice caps, which the global warming wingnuts claim is the canary in the coal mine and predicted earlier they’d melt and collapse. For example, Al Gore warned the Arctic ice would disappear by 2014. While CO2 has gone up, Arctic sea ice has RISEN over past decade But we […]

Defying climate models, the sea ice surrounding Antarctica steadily increased during the 37 years from 1979-2015. Even after many decades of studying climate processes and a supposed “consensus” that hemispheric-scale sea ice should decline in a rising CO2 concentration world, climate models cannot simulate the causative mechanisms for sea ice variability. “Over recent decades Antarctic […]

A new study (Gao et al., 2022) suggests Antarctica’s sea levels (Ross Sea) were more than 16 meters higher than today ~5,000 years ago and still 5.5 meters higher ~3,000 years ago. Penguins thrived with the warmer climate and diminished sea ice. Image Source: Gao et al., 2022 “Since 1.5 kyr BP, with further contraction […]
