Don’t forget Lockdowns, my sceptical friend. We have Lockdowns to thank. A much needed climate reset. There’ll be another one when all our badness requires it.
You’re both wrong! It was the masks, stopping our deadly CO2 from escaping!
By Jove, jeepy, I do believe you’ve got it!
When I first read that I thought it said “baldness” and I was (not) about to complain to the editor about being persecuted.
I considered baddity
Me too
They want to steal our money and tell us how to live to “save the planet.”
People are so gullible they disserve what they get I suppose.
And while reading this, the BBC news has an item on measuring CO2 emissions from “nodding donkey oil facilities – minor in the extreme, but hey, it keeps them all scared.
Find me a weather forecaster who will put his house on it raining or not raining a week on Tuesday.

Embedded in there: Catastrophical ice-free summer in the artic will have happened by 2016. Tipping point! Loads of frozen methane going to be released!

Turns out we’re dead, Jim! Why haven’t we noticed?
Is it time to re-run the 1960s scare stories about us all freezing to death? It would be fun if someone more IT literate than me couyld research and put up a series of images and recordings of those times. Ho ho ho for Christmas!
Indeed. Search for “1963 winter freeze” in YouTube; no shortage of footage there. It was only my fourth winter, and can’r remember much about it – perhaps it did not seem unusual then!
It was unusual enough to allow a friend and I to ride our bikes across the frozen River Thames at Hampton Court!

I heard earlier on the radio news that we have to declare the Great Barrier Reef as an ecological red zone due to the desperate state of everything around the area.
But don’t I remember hearing about how the reef has bounced back from bleaching as part of its natural cycle? It’s all good, so how come we’re being told it’s a catastrophe?
Just like the Corona pandemic, climate change is a series of localized events freely jumping all around the globe in order to exploit whatever look as it could be exploited. As soon as a geographical area ceases to be useful for the narrative, it silently vanishes again.
The Pseudo Scientific Fraud, that demands compliance. But we do not live in a scientific dictatorship. Science is not decided by a show of hands form a bunch of government funded data adjusters that progressives like to call “climate scientists”. If something cannot be falsified, then it is NOT science. If a theory does not fit with observations then it is WRONG, and that is what we see. Rising levels of CO2 but not much in the way of warming. Fortunately for the pretend to save the planet people they can still pull the wool over most eyes because most people are busy with work and family life and have no time to investigate every issue. They depend on investigative journalists for that, but there are very few of those left and most News is simply activism ———But if there is one issue they should investigate it is this one, as it is about to steal all freedoms and prosperity for political purposes masquerading as science and “saving the planet”
Antarctica 80% or so of the world’s ice by volume – increasing, above the 20 year average (cue Attenfraud et al to drop charges in crevices, remote detonate them to get the ‘calving’ money shot for the sheeple on the BBC).
Arctic 1% world ice volume by weight, way above past yearly means, but was to disappear in 2014, 2016, 2020, now 2030….don’t forget that in 1972-4 US ‘scientists’ wrote furious letters to Dick Nixon to carpet bomb the Arctic with ash or nuke parts of it and save us from the coming ice age.
Greenland, roughly 15% of world’s ice volume by mass, also increasing, contrary to the doom reports issued during every single summer when there is indeed some melting ice faithfully reported by the Fake News. I guess melting ice in a summer season due to many factors including wave and current motion is deemed ‘the science’.
Fail, fail, fail. Climate bullshit and Pharma. The only $2 Trillion plus industries where you can lie, kill, deceive, and be applauded for saving the world and hang plaques and prizes on your wall.
“It’s a mystery. Why has Arctic sea ice cover roared back so quickly over the last few years?”. Isn’t one answer: as climate is essentially cyclic in nature, why wouldn’t it? The mystery would surely be if it didn’t.
