The science was not wrong. The political activists were wrong. Science is science. It examines evidence, poses theories to explain it, and tests those theories against more evidence.
The theory that we would all be drowning by Trump's inauguration has been falsified. We are still alive and kicking.
One percent of ZERO is ZERO. The squirrels in my backyard are also responsible for one percent of the global sea level rise.
Anyone who spends any time near the ocean will tell you that there has been no observable change relative to the land during their lifetime and probably not since reasonably accurate maps were first drawn.

Ass Gores fauxcumentary “An incontinent truth” came out 11 years ago and the weather is exactly the same, the oceans aren’t flooding the coast. I live by the Atlantic for over 20 years and the beach isn’t gone, the tide is the same. They should arrest this guy for fraud. All the extra money I was forced to pay in extra taxes because of this scam I want returned.
There’s a good chance that over the next 50 years some asteroid will hit or some super volcano will erupt or some major solar flare or other major climate changing event will occur which will either result in warming and sea level rises or the opposite.
And then either way the alarmists will use a compliant media to control the narrative - that their predictions were correct and that this intervening event simply sped it up or delayed it, depending on what that event is and does.
This reminds me of other stories from a few years ago about melting glaciers in Antarctica. After the stories appeared it was pointed out that at the time the melting was suppose to have been occurring... the average temperatures were far below freezing.
Alarmists like to make claims about the poles because it is more difficult to verify and most people are not cognizant of the actual conditions there. Also our satellites with weather reporting capabilities do not cover the poles well and ground based data is easier to manipulate.
That's the money quote IMHO. Remember a few years back, about the time the "settled science" mantra began they were sure they understood what was going on. That led to the "settled science" claim.
Well, since then we've learned that hmmm, deep ocean currents may be affecting things in unexpected ways. Oh, and water content in the atmosphere and it's effects were apparently wildly mis-calculated. Then there is the whole 11 year sun-cycle that was apparently significantly not right...
So these models and predictions that they swore were the cat's backside and were predictive... Turns out there were a number of significant, fundamental mistakes. I'm not blaming them, hey, we're human, we make mistakes. So don't try to tell me "...these models are flawless, no, really this time we mean it..." Right. You're Lucy with a football and I'm Charlie Brown.
Even if, and this is a huge if, they have rung-out the last of the fundamental glaring errors with the models... There are no-doubt many, many more modest and subtle errors and problems lurking in there. It is guaranteed, that's just part of large-scale computer modeling. I'm sure the good folks working on them - the real climate scientists - will continue to make progress and improve the models. Meanwhile, we have to acknowledge that they are useless as predictive tools. Seriously. Forecasters cannot predict the weather and minor/local interactions more than a few days out. You expect me to believe you can predict global climate 50 or 100 years from now? You have a far better chance of predicting the teams and scores in the next 100 NFL Super Bowls than you do of getting that right.
Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;
HERE IS WHERE YOUR PROUD WAVES HALT’?
GOD to Job (38)
He set the earth on its foundations;
it can never be moved.
You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.
But at your rebuke the waters fled,
at the sound of your thunder they took to flight;
they flowed over the mountains,
they went down into the valleys,
to the place you assigned for them.
You set a BOUNDARY they cannot cross;
NEVER AGAIN will they COVER the earth.
Psalm 104
The very fact that it's "models" plural means that all but one, and perhaps even every single one of them, are wrong.
I thought I just read last week that NASA not only said it ice “was not melting”, but that the ice field was actually expanding.
Who got to them?
Unexpectedly.
But....but...an earlier article claimed the “thin shelf” was set for epic melting.....

Global Warming on Free Republic here, here, and here
Political “science” at your service. Constituents that can’t add nor subtract taking as fact what shill scientists on the government dole say concerning the most complex feedback looped system in the known universe.
What a put-down to bho! Less than a couple of weeks after President Trump ditches Paris the glaciers stop melting. Bho couldn’t get that done with eight years of throwing our taxpayers; $$$ at the ‘problem’.
If it's being melted from BELOW, that means it's floating! Glass of water/ice cubes. The water level doesn't rise when the ice melts. Sheesh, these guys fail 2nd grade science!
Once it's been shown to not be doing what they claim it is, they will move on and we will never hear of this "key" glacier ever again...
