For the past hundred years, the public has been warned of an existential threat that the Arctic ice would soon be gone and coastal cities would be devastated.
This is from 1922 in the Washington Post by the Associated Press.
The Arctic ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer
The only time the media deviated from saying that the ice was melting fast was in the 1970s, when they said we were under an existential threat that there was a coming ice age.
Somehow, all the things we are constantly told cause warming, including coal, oil, humans, cars, CO2, and cows, did not cause warming from 1940 to 1975. The Earth cooled a little.
I would love to see an explanation from scientists, educators, politicians, entertainers, and bureaucrats why all the things we are told cause warming didn't do so for 35 years. It must have been magic.
Sadly, journalists don't really care about the tens of millions of jobs that will be destroyed if we get rid of the fossil fuel industry, so they never ask questions. They also don't give a damn about the devastation to the poor, middle class, and small businesses because the policies they support cause higher inflation.
In the past week, CNN and others have run propaganda about how dangerous the next 30 years would be because of climate change. They predict that oceans will rise 10 to 12 inches, or 4/10 of an inch per year, after rising less than 1/100 of an inch per year for the last hundred years. The piece is devoid of facts.

There is someone who could make it rise higher and a lot faster. It may be getting to that time.
Not a flood, but a fire next time....
From MarketWatch today: “Climate change happening faster than globe can adapt, latest U.N. report warns”
It’s obviously too late, and we should just enjoy whatever little time we have left. It’s good to be free from this worry. Let’s all burn a tire in celebration.
Though I’m not wanting to depart just yet, not skerred if we gotta go.
So the WGS84 standard existed 100 years ago? Incredible hubris to push this. Perhaps not an unrealistic expectation that millenials will buy it.
so, its taken a century for water to rise one inch.
that’s nice.
combiningsuper-fortune, to my fortunate life of 69 years, so far, imight just see the next 1/4 of an inch rise in tjd water.
I sure hope that the good people of Tampa and Sarasota sell their beach homes cheap....we are head’n that way soon.
They could ALL be underwater, they need to sell quickly and cheaply.
“Ice melting has caused a one-inch rise in oceans over the last hundred years”
That’s a lot of water no longer available to make the oceans rise more.
Obama is so afraid that he bought property on Martha’s Vineyard that he’s going to use for Scuba diving training.
Sea level changes all the time because Earth is a dynamic system. Again, for the idiots, sea level is constantly changing.
Do the globull warming folks think average people are really stupid?
Or do they think Caliph Baraq gets free flood insurance as part of his POTUS retirement?
Hmmmm. 98% of the time I’m having is good.
Gonna love those palm trees in my northern Wisconsin yard.
Maybe some of that will evaporate, fall as rain and refill the Ogallala aquifer. Problems solved.
Guess there aren’t many old timers around that can tell the story of when NYC was covered by glacial ice. Melted, no doubt, by too much dinosaur farting.
Let me know when Obunghole sells his waterfront mansion at a loss. Then I’ll think about worrying.
