Share this…FacebookTwitterIf Al Gore had been an activist in the 1940s, he would have certainly predicted an ice-free Arctic by 1960, or at least by 1980. And of course, as usual, he would have been wrong. Al Serial-Exaggerator Gore gets exposed again Back in the 1930s and 40s, the globe had been warming at a […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterBy Kirye and Pierre Gosselin Before looking at Antarctica Peninsula, we first take a look at Greenland, which also is considered by the global warming alarmists to be part of the most threatening tipping points. If the ice on Greenland ever melted, like they warn it will, sea levels globally would rise some 6 […]

She claims it is changing dangerously fast and how this is supposedly unprecedented. But a […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterA wealth of new research in glacier and sea ice extent show modern Iceland is 2-4°C colder than all of the last 8000 years except for a slightly colder late 19th century. Even the 1700s were warmer with less ice than today in and around Iceland. A new study (Geirsdóttir et al., 2020) now […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterOnly a few thousand years ago, when CO2 levels were both stable and low (~265 ppm), the (1) Arctic had far less ice and more vegetation than it does now and (2) the massive rate of ice melt in Antarctica rendered modern melt rates negligible by comparison. A new study (Cherezova et al., 2020) […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterFor years scientists have been using biomarker evidence (IP25, PIP25) to reconstruct the Arctic’s sea ice history. The evidence shows modern (20th-21st century) Arctic sea ice is at its greatest extent since the Holocene began. Scientists (Wu et al., 2020) have determined that from about 14,000 to 8,000 years ago, when CO2 lingered near […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterArctic sea ice is not as unstable as alarmists like to claim it is. This year saw the Arctic approaching a new record low minimum, and the alarmists began setting off the alarms with abandon. Yet the melt stabilized in late July, and a new record failed to materialize. Chart: NSIDC Boulder When looking […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterDuring the last Grand Solar Minimum (17th century), global surface temperatures dipped to the coldest of the last 10,000 years – about 1.4°C colder than today. Dr. Zharkova, an astrophysicist, has determined another imminent drop in solar activity will lead to a 1°C cooling in the coming decades. From 1645 to 1710, the Sun […]

The reality, it turns out, is not shocking at all. Greenland ice doomed? According to Spiegel, the Greenland ice sheet is already doomed (that is unless we skip the usual democratic process and just […]

He also spoke of the wide disagreement […]

Share this…FacebookTwitterUsing biomarker evidence (for example, the Early Holocene presence of sea creatures unable to survive below fixed warmth thresholds) and glacier melt extent measurements (for example, sea shells buried 6 km inside a glacier), scientists have been colloborating on a growing consensus that much of Arctic Svalbard was about 7°C warmer than today during […]

Share this…FacebookTwitter Image: NASA (public domain) By Die kalte Sonne Do you remember the wild story that cold winters in Central Europe are supposedly a consequence of the Arctic turbo-heating? A great sideshow hypothesis in those years when winters were suddenly colder than expected. A study by Dai & Song 2020 has now brought the idea […]
