I believe rbwphd@msn.com was sprinkling factlessoids, kinda like hemorrhoids only colder.

It’s obviously the cooking fires and burnoffs to flush out game so the primitive descendants owe us a big fat sorry-

You’d think it would be “good news – Saint Obama’s $20 million home won’t get washed away next week after all.” It’s never good news. Good news doesn’t sell subscriptions. Good news means all those writers the greens have paid for will have to go back to hawking $10 lattes at Starbucks.

Do you have any idea how much sea level has risen as the result of all that sea ice melting?

That’s right, 0.000 mm!

Unlike the Artic its mainly due to flow off the continent rather than sea freezing. So if we are getting warmer then likely more would flow but once in the sea it would melt quicker. So how to interpret observed changes?

They’re safe, as long as ASDA keep stocking the shelves with them.

Very interesting piece on the BBC of all places – surprised they let it on actually

About the massive amount of carbon captured and sequestered by zooplankton (IIRC) as it sinks to the floor of the Antarctic Ocean!

“Our climate models do not recognise this system …” or words to that effect….

  • How much zooplankton/phytoplankton is in the water now compared to 30 yrs ago
  • or Krill…..
  • What colour is the water – has it changed in that time
  • Are the penguins ‘suffering’ or not
  • What colour is the ice, has its albedo changed
  • Is there more/less Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Sulphur, Boron, Manganese or Potassium in the water
  • What do fishermen who work there have to say
  • How are the whales/sharks/dolphins keeping, more/less, fatter/thinner, healthy/diseased
  • What about tuna fish worldwide (they are truly *amazing* fish)
  • <there will be more such indicators>

Many will know what I’m alluding to to, how simply shovelling a few billions of tonnes of ‘dirt’ into the water would explain *all* those things we see happening around there

viz: Globally, between ourselves and Ma Nature, we shovel enough dirt into the water via rivers and ‘runoff’ to raise sea-level by 1mm per year.
Before how much (10, 20, 50%) more is blown in by the wind? Which it will be coming and coming from increasingly aridified continents – the Mediterranean Climate does *not* come without cost

I do. I think I’ll need a bigger roasting tray, some onions, carrots and a bulb of garlic I think. It could replace the turkey at Christmas!

I think people are gradually becoming aware that basically anything an alarmist says …

… is a load of agenda-driven bollocks. !

ps, not only that, but having the passages around the edge of the Arctic region open to sea traffic for longer periods, is highly beneficial to the human populations living up there.

Antarctic sea ice.. no need to be concerned at all.

Arctic sea ice is a concern when there is too much of it for too much of the year (like back in the LIA and 1979..

The drop back down slightly towards more normal Holocene levels has been a boon for Arctic sea life, with several species with last sightings or proxy evidence during the MWP, starting to return to the region.

Now we have a rampant know-not-much propagandist from the far-left msn….

This should be fun !! 🙂

Antarctic Sea ice currently (day 355) above 2016, 2018, 2021 and 2022

Arctic sea ice is currently above every year back to 2006 except 2008 and 2014.

Pay attention. We are talking about now, not September. It’s late December, and the sea ice extent is no different than in 1979 (y’know, before we set the planet on fire and boiled the oceans), and the volume is greater than the early 80s.
