No, the Antarctic's ice is not melting as fast as predicted : No matter how many predictions on climate change are 100% wrong, the talking points and destructive policies remain the same

Greenie leftists for years have been saying the Antarctic is melting.

Well, based on this latest news from AFP, the Antarctic ice is not melting as fast as predicted. 

Runaway W. Antarctic ice sheet collapse not 'inevitable': study

Both the North and South pole regions have warmed by roughly three degrees Celsius compared to late 19th-century levels, nearly three times the global average.

The global temperature has risen less than two degrees Fahrenheit in the last 150 years. 

There is no scientific data that show that this small rise is caused by:

• An exponential rise in coal and oil use. 
• An exponential rise in gas-powered cars, machinery, trucks, and planes. 
• An extra six million people breathing out CO2.
• Cows producing methane gas.
• Gas grills and furnaces. 
• Power plants that greatly improve our quality and length of life. 

The rise occurred because a 400-year-plus "little ice age" ended around 1860.

A small rise in temperature occurs cyclically and naturally after ice ages happen.

The ice is melting more slowly than predicted not because:

• Politicians and bureaucrats signed the Paris Climate accord. 
• The U.N. has had multiple gabfests where a huge number of politicians and rich people fly in private jets to discuss climate change. 
• Worthless pieces of paper called carbon credits are bought and sold. 
• Solar panels and wind turbines taking up huge pieces of land. 
• People are being forced to buy expensive, impractical, inefficient vehicles powered by a flammable pollutant.

Antarctica had a record cold winter in 2021.  This could not have occurred if everything that we are told causes warming actually did.

Antarctica's last six months were the coldest on record.

For the polar darkness period, from April through September, the average temperature was -60.9 degrees Celsius (-77.6 degrees Fahrenheit), a record for those months," the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) said.

For the entire Antarctic continent, the winter of 2021 was the second-coldest on record, with the "temperature for June, July, and August 3.4 degrees Celsius (6.1 degrees Fahrenheit) lower than the 1981 to 2010 average at -62.9 degrees Celsius (-81.2 degrees Fahrenheit)," according to a new report from the NSIDC.

"This is the second-coldest winter (June-July-August months) on record, behind only 2004 in the 60-year weather record at Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station[."]

There was also a global cooling period from 1940 to 1975 that disproves the theory that humans, our use of natural resources, and rising CO2 cause warming.

If we had real journalists, instead of people pushing the radical agenda, 100 years of false predictions would be properly called misinformation. Instead, the people posing as journalists don't care that the dire predictions have been completely wrong. They call it settled science.

Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are capable of swimming incredible distances, according to a new study published in Zoology, which recorded polar bears regularly swimming over 30 miles (48 kilometers) and, in one case, as far as 220 miles (354 kilometers).

Don't worry about him... He'll be just fine and enjoying dinner with his buddies before you know it.

Not too many Polar Bears in the Antarctic...

lol... Oops!

Leopard seals certainly think so.

Ain't it the truth...

Humanity exists on an active volcanic planet. There are currently 1350 active volcanoes, 44 of which are currently erupting.

The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1980 released a larger volume of ‘greenhouse gasses’ in one fell swoop than the total sum of gasses generated by the industrial revolution to that point in time. It dropped global temps by about 1% and ash remained in the upper atmosphere for years. Back to normal, though, after that.

And then we have that sun thing in the sky. And it varies the output of energy, with direct effect on global weather systems and long term climate. [See mini-ice age of 1300’s-1800’s, dropping global temps by 2 degrees Celsius]..

But my Honda.......

The Climate Change experts never mention the Tonga Volcano, one of the strongest to blow its top in 1200 years, it rattled the entire earth and set off seismometers around the globe and pumped an estimated 58 billion tons of ash and vapors into the atmosphere. Its effecting the wx around the globe.

If human activity causes warming, the period of 1940-1975 should have caused quite a bit of warming. I should think the massive movements of troops, equipment, etc. would have warmed things up. Not to mention atomic bombs and testing. Battleships firing guns, artillery, and every other thing involved in a world war. Strange.

Mt. Pinatubo was certainly an historic recent eruption, as it happened in my lifetime, some 40 years ago. Pinatubo dwarfs the famous USA eruption of Mt. St Helens two years earlier, in 1980.

A much larger event, from the early 1800s, was Mt. Tambora, the most recently known VEI-7 event and the most recent confirmed VEI-7 eruption. Mount Tambora is on the island of Sumbawa in present-day Indonesia, then part of the Dutch East Indies.

Tambora, causing roughly 5 times the impact of Pinatubo, caused the famous “Year Without a Summer” in 1816.

A large event from only a year ago, the Hunga Tonga undersea volcano, erupted in the South Pacific and is currently cooling the Southern Hemishpere.

Not surprising at all considering we allow fellows with a penis to identify as whatever they like. Facts are not important.
