Thank you Chris for your time putting this informative item together. Every piece of pushback against the madness is important.
Accurate satellite data measuring sea ice extent was gathered throughout the 1970’s as it was critical for managing the nuclear deterrent. It clearly shows that the ice extent reached a peak in 1979 – the year, strangely enough that records used for climate propaganda begin. Including this data would show there has been nothing remotely unusual going on with Arctic sea ice extent.
Raise this point and you’re met with handwaving and muttering about incompatible datasets. Funny how this hasn’t stopped alarmist academics stitching together datasets from ocean buoys and ship intakes, or tree rings and thermometers (Mike’s ‘Nature’ trick), or satellite Microwave Sounding Units and surface thermometers, or weather balloons and computer models.
Something with mentioning here: The definition of ice age is a time during which permanent surface ice sheets exist. Consequently, we’re currently living in an ice age that’s possibly receding.
Additional fun fact: One of the reason why people believe in antrophogenic climate change is that – according to some mathematical models of ice ages – the current interglacial period (the holocene) should have ended already. Ie, weren’t it for terrible influence humans have on the climate, we’d all be again hunting mammoths on glaciers by now.
Obviously, the idea that these models could be wrong never crossed anybody’s mind.
The earth has been in an ice age for at least 2 million years, we just happen to be in a relatively short lived interglacial period and what most people call an ice age is a glacial period. Taking a long term view (thousands of years) we seem to be heading into the next glacial period all be it with ups and downs along the way. The paleoclimate record shows various warm periods over at least the last 4,000 years e.g. Medieval Warm Period, Roman Warm Period etc. Our current warm period is simply the latest in a long succession of warm and cool periods, however it appears that each warm period is slightly less warm than the previous one, so the temperature trend over the last 5-6,000 years is slightly downwards.
“He adds that satellite images and recordings going back to 1993 show sea levels rising at a mere 1.2 inches per decade, and this is not significantly different to typical rises recorded since the mid-1800s.”
Chris, interesting but 1.2 inches between now & 2100 is about 27cm which earlier in the article you state was “false & easily disproven”, which is it?
Assuming the 1,2 inches per decade is correct, it would be 23.37cm by 2100, ie, 3.36cm less than 27cm. That should count as disproven.
We have tide information from e.g. Newlyn, going back several hundred years, showing little growth in sea levels. 1993 is just the blink of an eye. There are far too many conclusions being drawn from data that doesn’t cover anything like a truly representative period of time.
Climate has nothing to do with the ‘Climate Emergency’. It is just a convenient group of stuff you can’t measure and which never seems to happen where I live, used as a tool to make us feel guilty for our lives of affluence and abundance.
Once we are both anxious and guilty, as many are, then it becomes easy to sell us any old snake oil of wholesale societal change to some romanticised version of 12th century feudalism. A world where, for no particular reason, other that it is the ideology of the WEF and the Club of Rome and others, our economies and societies have to be completely trashed in order that they can be replaced with something ‘better’.
Unfortunately, the ‘something better’ sounds considerably worse to me, yet our governments plough on implementing this treason, without reference to the citizens or gaining their approval. Just ‘here’s the next step’, necessary because of the crisis we just caused. These people are dangerously insane.
Feudalism is still a Marxist term referring to an economic system where the primary means of production is land and not capital but where land is no longer worked by slaves but either by free labourers for a wage or by serfs bound to it. Whatever the usual shady entities are suspected to be really about, it’s certainly not going to be that.
The Climate Change propaganda originates with the UN and is their chosen method of forcing down the living standards of affluent western countries and transferring taxpayers’ money to the 2nd and 3rd world.
It’s a form of “levelling down” on a global scale – with a Global Elite running everything. A Global Animal Farm.
Any National Leader who doesn’t support the Climate Change propaganda will never be allowed to join the Global Elite Club and (if possible) will be removed from Office.
Quote “the jab wasn’t a vaccine, it was an intelligence test” and the same applies to climate change and EV vehicles.
Would like to see this headlined on all msm.
We’ll know we’re winning when stories such as this make it into the MSM.
