We continue to see media reports about the imminent collapse of the Arctic ice, despite the reality that the ice is not disappearing. Here's an example of what the media is reporting, and why it is not credible.
Climate Science Integrity In A Death Spiral
Check out this spectacular piece of work in the Sunday Times
THE Arctic ice cap has melted so much that open water is now just 350 miles from the North Pole, the shortest distance recorded, scientists say.
Let’s look at the fraudulent science one piece at a time.
The amount of ice has increased by 60% since 2012, shown in green below. Scientists cherry picked one spot which lied along a boundary between high an low pressure system, where the winds blew persistently towards the pole all summer. Most of the Arctic saw a huge expansion in ice.
Next they quote Wadhams saying the Arctic will be ice free in 2015.
His credibility melted away quite suddenly in 2013.
Then they claim that the ice used to be five metres thick
Unfortunately for these crooks, we have actual records showing that the ice was only two metres thick in 1940 – the same as it is now according to numbers derived from PIOMAS and UIUC.
The whole Arctic scam is a complete fraud. There has been a massive increase in extent, area, thickness and age of the ice over the past three years. The loss of ice from 1988 was due to winter winds which pushed huge volumes of ice out in the North Atlantic, and have since reversed – and the ice is growing back. These scientists are either incompetent, dishonest or both.
Temperatures near the North Pole were below normal every single day of the melt season this year, and first or second coldest on record.
