Another fake global warming scare is busted as scientists 'surprised'

A favorite technique of the propagandists of the Global Warming scare is to find cute and cuddly creatures that they can claim are “threatened” by global warming. For years, an iconic picture of a polar bear on an ice floe was used to frighten children into clutching their stuffed teddy bears and demanding Mommy and Daddy act to save them.

But the bloom started coming off that rose when a scientist who had made population estimates that allowed the bears to be classified as threatened admitted that the estimates were: “A guess to satisfy public demand” but wrapped in the prestige of settled science."

The scam took an even heavier blow when NASA admitted there was no measurable retreat in polar ice last year

But that hasn’t stopped other cure species from being held up as hostages to carbon. Along with polar bears, another favorite creature is penguins, so cute in their version of tuxedos.

Ever eager NASA published a warning less than two years ago: “Climate change may shrink Adélie penguin range by end of century.”

Climate has influenced the distribution patterns of Adélie penguins across Antarctica for millions of years. The geologic record tells us that as glaciers expanded and covered Adélie breeding habitats with ice, penguins in the region abandoned their colonies. When the glaciers melted during warming periods, the Adélie penguins were able to return to their rocky breeding grounds.

Now, a NASA-funded study by University of Delaware scientists and colleagues at other institutions reports that this warming may no longer be beneficial for Adélie penguins. In a paper published June 29 in the journal Scientific Reports,

A thriving "hotspot" of 1.5 million Adelie penguins, a species fast declining in parts of the world, has been discovered on remote islands off the Antarctic Peninsula, surprised scientists said Friday.

The first bird census of the Danger Islands unearthed over 750,000 Adelie breeding pairs, more than the rest of the area combined, the team reported in the journal Scientific Reports.

The group of nine rocky islands, which lie off the northern tip nearest South America, in the northwest Weddell Sea, housed the third- and fourth-largest Adelie penguin colonies in the world, they found.

The fact is that creatures adapt to their environments. And another fact is that estimates of wildlife populations are not an exact science, especially in the remoter areas of the world.

It is funny how the cure for every crisis is socialism/communism.

Global warming stopped being science when they started selecting the evidence to match the pre-determined conclusion. There is no such thing as “settled science”; another lie of the left. The scientific method is an on-going process where nothing is settled.

More ‘settled science’ that isn’t.

[I want the USA back]

Liberals have gone into science to push their leftist agenda. They are not true scientists, but thanks to political correctness, everyone is afraid to say anything.

More ‘settled science’ that isn’t.

Settled Science is indisputable.

So let’s tie this article into https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/oct/12/penguin-catastrophe-leads-to-demands-for-protection-in-east-antarctica.
The colony had experienced a similar event in 2013, when no chicks survived. In a paper about that event, a group of researchers, led by Yan Ropert-Coudert from France’s National Centre for Scientific Research, said it had been caused by a record amount of summer sea ice and an “unprecedented rainy episode”.
The unusual extent of sea ice meant the penguins had to travel an extra 100km to forage for food. And the rainy weather left the chicks, which have poor waterproofing, wet and unable to keep warm.

So the ice is killing chicks. We need global warming now!!!

Flat earth theory was “settled science”. How’d that turn out?

I have a map of the earth/world on my wall and it is flat.
Are you telling me I’ve been lied to all these years?

Atlanta Science Fair is March 10 - 17 during Womyn’s month.
It will be interesting to see the mix of true science, of bogus science, and of other.

I’m betting “other” wins. There seems to be an emphasis on

Science is your friend. Color pictures of science with friendly colors. Don’t be afraid of science. Give it a warm hug.

Where an anyone find a comprehensive list of all the global warming predictions and statistics that have been debunked?

Now, a NASA-funded study by University of Delaware scientists and colleagues at other institutions reports that this warming may no longer be beneficial for Adélie penguins.

Mentally banging head on keyboard and not bothering to read past that sentence. How much must I bear from these people???

DOOMAGE!

Whatever the problem is, we can solve it with more governmental control and more subsidies for research. Not necessarily in that order.

Of course, finding all those problems in the first place takes money, too.

We’re quite sure we can find more problems if you give us more money.

"“A guess to satisfy public demand win unconstitutional federal funding” but wrapped in the prestige of settled science."

There! Fixed it.

“Ever eager NASA published a warning less than two years ago: “Climate change may shrink Adélie penguin range by end of century.”

Any scientist making this kind of prediction should be immediately fired and credentials rescinded!! Pure stupidity!

[SgtHooper]

“...had to travel an extra 100km to forage for food.”

Wow, circling the globe a few times!? Balderdash!!
