Scientists Struggle to Understand Why Antarctica Hasn’t Warmed for Over 70 Years Despite Rise in CO2
Daily Skeptic ^ | 01/29/2023 | Chris Morrison

Scientists are scrambling to explain why the continent of Antarctica has shown Net Zero warming for the last seven decades and almost certainly much longer. The lack of warming over a significant portion of the Earth undermines the unproven hypothesis that the carbon dioxide humans add to the atmosphere is the main determinant of global climate.

Under ‘settled’ science requirements, the significant debate over the inconvenient Antarctica data is of necessity being conducted well away from prying eyes in the mainstream media. Promoting the Net Zero political agenda, the Guardian recently topped up readers’ alarm levels with the notion that “unimaginable amounts of water will flow into oceans”, if temperatures in the region rise and ice buffers vanish. The BBC green activist-in-chief Justin Rowlatt flew over parts of the region and witnessed “an epic vision of shattered ice”.

He described Antarctica as the “frontline of climate change”. In 2021, the South Pole had its coldest six-month winter since records began in 1957, a fact largely ignored in the mainstream. One-off bad weather promoter Reuters subsequently ‘fact checked’ commentary on the event in social media. It noted that a “six-month period is not long enough to validate a climate trend”.

A recent paper from two climate scientists (Singh and Polvani) accepts that Antarctica has not warmed in the last seven decades, despite an increase in the atmospheric greenhouse gases. It is noted that the two polar regions present a “conundrum” for understanding present day climate change, as recent warming differs markedly between the Arctic and Antarctic. The graph below shows average Antarctica surface temperatures from 1984-2014, compared to a base period 1950-1980…

Climate Dogma meets Fact. Perhaps vaccine Dogma will too?

I don’t know, maybe climate is a complex thing that depends on more than one variable?

Facts don’t matter-—their ends justify their means——which means “if the facts don’t fit the narrative then double down on lying”.

I think these “Scientists” require more grant money to study the issue.

But they keep focusing on the one area of the Antarctic that has some ice shelf breaking off; it’s located directly above massive underwater volcanic activity. Which they don’t mention.

Not warming is a sure sign of Global Warming. We are all going to die!

We all know why.
The same reason why with “rising sea levels”, politicians and celebrities are still buying ocean front property.

Yeah, because they’re completely baffled. A little green will make ‘em smarter.

Maybe because the two aren’t really connected after all???

Just ask Swiftboat Rear Admiral John F’ing Kerry, he has all the answers.

The models are wrong simply due to the fact there’s no computing power available to include the effect of clouds.

A study by NASA showed that the massive amount of ice being deposited in Antarctica far out weighs any losses by glaciers.

The reason is simple, but it involves these obscure things called “physics” and “real science” (namely CO2 absorption spectra). Something these idiots “scientists” apparently know nothing about.

Actually, the term is in quotation marks - meaning that the author is disparaging the term. The science is being performed out of sight to not run afoul of the global warming catastrophists.

Earth has repeatedly warmed (& cooled) in the past, including an increase in CO2 — way before humans burnt stuff. When it did, poles always, always warm faster than mid regions. This is why warming decreases incidence of violent storms.

So, if the “climate experts” say that earth is warming but poles are not, perhaps it is because >90% of the thermometers are in invalid locations. Temp measurements are rigged to push global warming panic, and increase $$ to be skimmed.

“double down on lying”

Yes, this.

Some of the lying that has been done in non arctic/antarctic regions is that development around historic measurement points is affected by said development.

However, since no development occurs in Antarctic measurement points, this would be data that is consistent over time, so one could easily conclude if the most pristine measurements show no increase, maybe there is no increase in temperatures over time.

Therefore this data must be hidden, because it exposes lies.
