The ozone hole scare of the 1980s and the banning of CFCs was the template for the subsequent alarm promoting Net Zero. Yet the ozone hole is now back as large as ever, even after a 35-year CFC ban.
The dramatic recovery in Arctic sea ice is continuing into the New Year, with it standing as of January 8th at its highest level in 21 years, defying the alarmist narrative.
The retreat in Antarctica sea ice was well underway thousands of years before any increase in carbon dioxide, scientists have found, demolishing the claim that rising CO2 is responsible for the ice loss.
Don’t expect to see reported in mainstream media the startling new evidence of dramatic cooling in West Antarctica of 2°C over 20 years, says Chris Morrison.
Antarctica sea ice is at a "mind-blowing" record low winter area of 17 million sq. km, according to the BBC. What isn't mentioned, however, is that it was even lower in 1966.
According to the FT, Antarctica "faces a catastrophic cascade of extreme environmental events... that will affect climate around the world”. In fact, the extent of Antarctica sea ice is about the same as it was in 1966.
In the 11 years to 2019, the ice shelves around Antarctica grew in overall size, with overall shelf size increasing by 5,305 km2, reports Chris Morrison in the Daily Sceptic. So much for that global warming scare story.
The Thwaites 'Doomsday' Glacier is exhibit A in the case for climate panic. Yet according to new scientific findings, the ice around it is up to eight times thicker than it was 8,000 years ago.
The BBC has run a story claiming that, according to modelling, Antarctic ocean currents are heading for collapse, but somehow failed to mention the data showing the continent is not currently suffering ice loss.
The BBC recently ran a headline claiming Antarctica sea ice had hit a "new record low", but inexplicably missing was the fact that since 1979 the trend in the ice extent is "near zero" and not statistically significant.
