Al Gore vs. Reality on Planetary Ice Caps and Global Warming

It appears that reality is not cooperating with the myth that man-made CO2 is causing global warming. Recent satellite images show that both the Arctic and the Antarctic sea ice have dramatically increased in size and thickness.

Despite Al Gore’s 2007 apocalyptic predictions that in just 7 more years the Arctic ice cap will be “completely gone,” it has instead dramatically increased by 43% in size since 2012. The North Pole ice cap grew by 1.715 million square kilometers, an area the size of Alaska, in the last two years. In solidarity, the South Pole ice cap has also reached record-breaking levels, and now stands at 20 million square kilometers, the highest level since records began.

Al Gore (2007): "The [Arctic] ice cap is falling off a cliff. It could be completely gone in summer in as little as 7 years from now."

Nope. Temperatures today are the same as they were in early 1996. There has been NO measured global warming for 17 years 11 months according to the satellite records.

None. Nada. Not any.

Scientific observations show that there’s been no increased global warming for the last 17 years. None of the hysterical weather predictions and doomsday climate scenarios Al Gore and his minions promised us ever materialized.

Knowing that Al Gore and his creepy pseudo scientists are always wrong - IF they said, "look we did it, we reversed global warming" then we'd have global warming... Because they're always wrong.

Al Gore is a con man who is working for the mid east countries. He received over $100 million in bribes to undermine his country.

Yep, he's a typical democrat...

I suggest you argue it out with the snow and ice data center.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Been there, done that. They (the NSIDC) are fighting to maintain their funding and their influence over national policy.

They are also provably dead wrong.

Just like his pappy, Albore Sr., a consort of the traitor Armand Hammer...found a nice niche for himself in the oil business, became rich while pimping for the communists. America, what a country!

So, Robert, I like your analysis. Have you given thought to how the Mediterranean haline flow affects the global weather patterns, and how solar energy drives that salt-water flow?

It has been intimated that the Med’s haline outflow could act as a fluidic switch, pushing the Gulf Stream eastward to dump its moisture content on the North American Shield. The sudden albedo increase would cool the whole planet, not just northern Europe.

This is my candidate as the most likely counter-intuitive way that sunlight on Northern Africa can trigger the next Ice Age.
