Arctic Sea Ice, Polar Bears and Great Barrier Reef Return to the Headlines in Misinformation Blitzkrieg

It's 'whack-a-mole' time as alarmists revive classic climate tropes such as ice-free Arctic summers, starving Polar bears and the disappearing Great Barrier Reef, none of which are true.

Massive Increase in Greenland Surface Ice Sheet Suggests Possible Overall Gain in 2022

Whisper it quietly, but the Greenland ice sheet may have made a net gain in size in the year to August 2022 after another year of massive winter gains and a short summer of ice loss.

Epicenter of Obliteration: Arctic Ice

“Obliteration” is intentionally Machiavellian, and over-reaching, but the hard truth is that obliteration (extinction) could really, truly happen, assuming certain things happen, or not, depending….
In such case, in order to gain a full understanding of Arctic ice loss as it relates to obliteration, query the world’s foremost Arctic expert, Peter Wadhams, professor of Ocean Physics, University of Cambridge.
All of which brings to fore a fascinating fact: How many people have traveled under the ice of the North Pole?

“Ground Zero” Moves to Antarctica

Peru’s Quelccaya Ice Cap (alt. 17,950 ft.), the world’s largest tropical ice cap, will likely lose another 400-600 feet of ice before the final presidential nominating debates in March/April 2016. All of which brings to mind, wouldn’t it be interesting to ask the prospective presidential nominees this question: What are the implications of Antarctica suddenly becoming “ground zero” for global warming?

Climate Holocaust Within a Geological Instant

The planet has warmed by 0.85C since the industrial revolution, or since 1880, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is the baseline for measurement by the scientific community. That doesn’t seem like much; it’s such a small number, less than one.
But, remarkably, the increase of 0.85C happened within 150 years, whereas historically it normally took much, much longer for the planet’s temperature to increase by that amount. Ostensibly, it’s speeding up by quite a bit.
