North Pole Ice

It's not up to me to disprove or approve of every piece of pseudoscientific nonsense that comes out of the global warming media. I have, as my one demented reader in the maximum security special library will know, other things to be irresponsibly alarmist about.

I do note how the media-political class now say 'climate change' rather than 'global warming' to make themselves feel a bit more sophisticated. This also keeps the story going without making them look like chumps. It is a bit like the way they insist on saying 'stem cell' rather than 'adult' or 'cord' stem cell rather than 'embryonic' stem cell, but that observation should be left for another post.

Still, I was struck by this story in the ever-rational 'Watts Up With That' site. In it, pictures and newsreel from the past sixty-odd years of the north pole are contrasted to show periodic thinning and thickening of the ice.

My only quibble would be that they don't all show the month when the ice was photographed, but clearly the North pole, and therefore the northern hemisphere, go through cyclical cold and warmth regardless of seasonal weather, which is different.

Put this information together with the understanding that Antarctica is a continent and that the peninsula, where many monitors are, has been surrounding by a warmed ocean current and winds, but the bulk of it shows cooling or no variation, and you have instantly two pieces of information that ought to show up the silliness of global warming.

There are hundreds of other pieces of information that I've put on my blog and that can be found with a google search. Those were just two. Practically all of them point away from ongoing global warming, which was in a minor way present in the nineteen nineties throughout the solar system and then stopped.

This is a time of genuine peril. Global illnesses, collapsing credit and energy, the need to shepherd new scientific understandings of things like nuclear fusion into the light of day, with money, and the need to establish limits as a society on most of our endeavours are pressing. The consequences of the grotesque conditions in which most lives are led, in part fed by global aid and global trade, and of the many wars currently burning out of control beyond the arcs of instability ought to occupy us.

I keep going on about global cooling because stupidity has taken over our nepotistic and intellectually limited political-media class. This means that needless taxes and misplaced limits are going to be imposed on industry and on individuals at precisely the wrong time. The only people who will ever obey them will be the law abiding. Then the real issues which we have avoided as a civilisation will come around and bite us.

Wake up to what you are being fed. This civilisation may well be on the edge of the abyss but that does not mean that you have to join those who have already fallen in. A bureaucratic or employment driven consensus is not science; an agreement does not create a physical fact.

This is what the inside of a global warmer's head looks like.
