Record ice in Antarctica is more proof that Obama is a failure. Despite claiming to control the weather with both his genius intellect and the power of his superhuman Nobel prize, it's been apparent he is not succeeding.
And we’ve all noticed it for some time now.
No matter the circumstances, every weather event is blamed on global warming in an attempt to cover up Obama's nefarious plot failure.
Cold temperature? Global warming. Hot temperatures? Global warming? Snow? Global warming. Drought? Global warming. Hurricanes, tornadoes or the lack thereof? Global warming. There was even an attempt by a ditzy news anchor on CNN—is there any other kind on CNN?-- to blame a meteorite on global warming.
It’s gotten so bad that I’m surprised that global warming hasn’t been tied to white men and rape.
Oh that’s right. It has been.
And now in another attempt to explain the unexplainable, to deny what is obvious—that global warming just isn’t happening (at least not how its evangelists would wish)—scientists have come up with a new theory why record ice at Antarctica could be yet ANOTHER weather event where cooling temperatures are an indication of global warming.
“CEO of the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems CRC, Tony Worby,” reports ABCNews in Australia, “said the warming atmosphere is leading to greater sea ice coverage by changing wind patterns.”
The cool part—ha, ha cool part-- is that an old-time actor, one you thought was dead and gone, plays a prominent role in this global warming passion play.
"The extent of sea ice is driven by the winds around Antarctica, and we believe that they're increasing in strength and part of that is around the depletion of ozone," said Worby.
Ah, yes, our old friend the ozone hole-- the last greatest threat to the earth since Mikkos Cassadine targeted Port Charles with his diabolical weather machine in an attempt to keep the ratings going at General Hospital-- is making a comeback.
Yes, the big ozone hole above Antarctica that was supposedly going to melt the entire world-- because it was already too late to save the whales, or the darter snail, or the cheery woodland owl-- is actually warming the world again, while also helping generate record ice right below the hole that’s gonna melt the world in conjunction with global warming that is producing record low temperature and lots and lots of snow.
Right?
Right.
It should be noted that General Hospital, as well as the news report noted above, are written, produced and broadcast by the network ABC.
Coincidence? Or some more evil afoot?
How about both?
Earlier this month ABC news reported that the ozone hole was “Back and Big.”
Five days ago the Associated Press reported that the ozone hole was “recovering,” but yet out of the woods.
Environmental whackos and their friends in the media seem to understand that if you repeat something long enough even a well-worn lie can appear to become the truth.
“It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned,” said Hitler’s master of propaganda, Josef Goebbels, “that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise.”
That’s one reason why we are willing to suspend our disbelief to watch a show like General Hospital, or Gilligan’s Island or American Idol or NBA basketball.
As the soap opera General Hospital moves into its 50th year, the ozone hole is not far behind in age. Yet despite dire predictions about the demise of mankind due ozone depletion it’s clear that the plot line scientists sold us in the 1970s with regard to ozone was about as credible as those featured on General Hospital.
But as any good TV executive would tell you-- the only thing that matters in TV are the ratings. If the ratings are good, the suspension of disbelief follows as a matter of course.
That’s why the next great threat scientists will tell us about will be…global cooling… as a result of global warming...as a result of the genius of Barack Obama combined with the power of his superhuman Nobel prize.
Get ready for it.
It'll bear that stamp of authenticity we all look for in science and politics: "As Seen on TV."
That’s all well and good but it’s the arctic that matters. The melt off that happened last year directly resulted in the ultra cold “vortexes” (lows) that occurred last winter, also due to a warm water area off of Alaska. Both of these look to be changing this year so with any luck the insane cold that hit last winter should be gone.
Dead wrong!
It is NOT the “Arctic that matters.”
The Arctic sea ice at this time of year (its yearly minimum in mid-September) lies in a small “cap” roughly centered on the north pole - extending from the north Pole down to latitude 79 - 80 north. At this time of year - at its yearly minimum of 4.5 to 5.0 million square kilometers - the MAXIMUM height of the sun above the horizon is “only” 8-10 degrees above the horizon: About what you can see each evening 30-45 minutes before sunset. And that little bit of sunlight is MAXIMUM - which occurs at noon. Every other minute of the day, the sun is lower, dropping completely below the horizon of course at 6:00 pm each evening, and rising again at 6:00 am the next morning.
Nope - No “24 hours of sunlight” at this time of year. That only occurs in mid-summer.
Now, the record all-time HIGH of the Antarctic sea ice ice that was recorded yesterday? That “too big so we will ignore it” 19.6 million square kilometers of Antarctic sea ice that the CAGW religion wants everybody to ignore?
THAT sea ice lies between 58 and 59 south latitude today: THAT sea ice is receiving - reflecting actually - 5 TIMES the solar energy on every square meter that is hitting the Arctic sea ice edge! At its minimum, the Antarctic sea ice is also between 3.5 to 4.0 million square kilometers - BUT! - the Antarctic sea ice surrounds the 14.0 million square kilometers of the Antarctic land mass (all ice-covered) and the 3.5 million square kilometers of Antarctic shelf ice. So - EVEN AT ITS MINIMUM sea ice extents! - the Antarctic sea ice reflects 2.0 times the energy that the Arctic reflects.
You want some even "better" news?
At today's rate of increase - a steady increase in Antarctic sea ice since 1992 - the Starits of Magellen and CApe Horn at 56 south latitude will be blocked to all sea traffic for 2-3 months every year by icebergs and sea ice within 10-12 years.
Oh, by the way, the antarctic measured continental air temperatures have been steadily decreasing since 1979: The only area where Antarctic temperatures have increased slightly is the tiny section of the peninsula extending west from western Antarctica. The remaining 87% of the land mass? Getting colder every year!

DANG!
