Share this… Facebook TwitterScientists 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 […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterThere 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 […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterA new study details how a much warmer climate than today led to the disappearance of glaciers and ice caps during the sub-300 ppm CO2 Early to Middle Holocene. The Arctic’s modern ice extent is among the largest of the last 10,000 years. Glaciologists Larocca and Axford (2022) have synthesized a comprehensive […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterThese much warmer Greenland temperatures imply that the elevation of the ice sheet was 400 meters lower than it is today from about 6,000 to 10,000 years ago. Scientists (Westhoff et al., 2022) report that the two largest Greenland melt events in the last few hundred years occurred in 2012 and in […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterMore evidence surfaces showing Greenland isn’t cooperating with the global warming narrative. The notorious “Climategate” e-mail exchanges between activist scientists like Drs. Phil Jones and Tom Wigley revealed how grave a concern it was in 2004 that “GREENLAND HAS BEEN COOLING SIGNIFICANTLY” since the 1950s. “…a warming trend occurred in the Nuuk […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterIf decadal- and century-scale glacier advance and retreat is strongly indicative of a region’s climate, glacier behavior in Iceland saps the narrative that says anthropogenic CO2 is a climate driver. Per a new study, many of the northern Icelandic glaciers in existence today had “disappeared” from about 10,000 to 6,000 years ago. […]

Share this… Facebook TwitterClimate alarmists hate this inconvenient fact: hundreds of temperature reconstructions show that the northern hemisphere was much warmer over much of the past 10,000 years (Holocene) than it is today.

Share this… Facebook TwitterScientists admit that 3 different Greenland Summit (GISP2) temperature reconstruction “strategies” produce 3 different paleoclimate temperature results. The reconstructions chosen as the most “robust” are therefore the ones that align best with the authors’ presuppositions. In a new study published in Quaternary Science Reviews scientists (Döring and Luenberger, 2022) report they reject […]

Schimmelpfennig et al., 2022 “…the glacier was smaller than its 2000 CE extent for a total of ∼7.4 kyr during the Holocene.” Image Source: Schimmelpfennig et […]
