Arctic Ice Cap Growth is Making Al Gore Look Like a Damn Fool

Global Warming Takes a Vacation and Warming Nuts are Worried about Getting Paid

We out here, living in “Realville,” of which Rush Limbaugh is the self-appointed mayor, have been asking, “Where’s the warming?” since 1998. And believe me, in New England this summer, we really mean it.

After 16 years and hundreds of billions of dollars spent worldwide, I think we have a right to know.




Well, the pro-warming “scientific community” has been quietly asking the same question and desperately seeking an answer.

Professor Ka-Kit Tung of the University of Washington says, “Every week there is a new explanation of the hiatus,” ranging from air pollution to sunspots to volcanoes, etc.

And this appears to be the buzzword that has caught on in the warming community – “hiatus.” Global warming is on hiatus, is it? I guess it’s taking a well needed holiday.

But because of this 16-year “hiatus,” the public, who are fitting the bill, and many more scientists, are beginning to question the whole “man-made” warming claim.

And that’s why warming advocate scientists are so desperate to explain this “pause.” They’re losing the PR battle, and if they lose that, they’ll lose the politicians, and if they lose the political class, say bye-bye to their funding.

But fear not, Professor Tung has found the culprit. It’s the ocean.

Apparently the man-caused “heat” is being trapped deep under the ocean surface. Yes – that’s what’s happening – despite everything we know about heat – that it always rises – it’s now being pulled down to the depths of the ocean.




Okay, I’m good with that. Oh, and did I forget to mention, it’s only happening in the Atlantic Ocean.

So why the panic over the hiatus anyway? So the globe is taking a breather. Well, it’s because “Climate Models,” computer simulations, didn’t predict it. They showed steady warming over the same period. The fact is that these computer “models” couldn’t predict the 16-year hiatus, but they expect us to trust the “simulations” going forward. Funny thing about facts, given enough time, they always come out.

Isaac Held, a Senior Research Scientist at NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory says, “No one has ever expected warming to be continuous, increasing in a straight line.”

Actually, they did. The computer models told us so. Interesting how their excuses are changed, ever so slightly, to accommodate their ever evolving theories.

So the computers didn’t account for the heat being magically pulled down to the deep ocean. But scientists like Meehl Trenberth still insist that is where the heat is going, despite having no reliable equipment to measure it. I guess we’ll just have to take his word for it. I don’t think so.

Nate Cohn at New Republic writes that this minor inconvenience of having no data is not a problem. He reports that, “Meehl and his colleagues turned to computer models. Their approach was straightforward: Look at naturally occurring hiatus decades in climate models, and see where the computers put the heat.”

Let that sink in for a second. The computers told us there would be warming, yet there is none. Now these scientists believe the heat is in the deep ocean – because heat always does that; it sinks. But they can’t measure it, so they plug some more “garbage in” to the computer and it will tell us where the heat went. Is that right? Is that actually right?! This is what they expect us to believe?

Okay, this is so stupid, it’s no longer funny. These people aren’t scientists – they’re an embarrassment. They’re frauds, and they’re desperate to hold on to the myth they created.

Next year I hear the scientists will introduce a new product to the world – the first scientific calculator that always gives you the answer you want.

Point to be made here:

The author of this piece is grossly misrepresenting a key principle of thermodynamics here. It is not heat that rises, but hot AIR. Because air expands and contracts with heat (Charles's Law), hot air at the same pressure is less dense than cold air and thus rises upward (convection). That does NOT apply to water. In fact, at temperatures less than about 40 degrees Fahrenheit, cold water is actually slightly LESS dense than warmer water (hence why ice floats).

Heat, on the other hand, radiates in all directions. He should have learned these principles in eighth grade.

That being said, his points about the lack of reliable data are spot on. It seems, especially this year with the recent cold weather, that the continuing breathless “warmest on record” claims are now being based on the temperatures of the oceans. They haven't been reliably measuring ocean temperatures nearly as long as those on land (especially populated places); in fact, until infrared satellite usage became widespread circa 1980 (which just so happened to be the tail end of a stretch of very cold weather), there wasn't much observation of the ocean at all outside a few buoys.

I also note that the lack of warming since 1998 is almost precisely when the Internet started becoming mainstream. Perhaps with everyone now able to witness and track climate data as it's being compiled, getting caught fudging the numbers became a much bigger risk.

Arctic Ice Cap Growth is Making Al Gore Look Like a Damn Fool

This is not looking good for Al Gore whose prediction in his film An Inconvenient Truth is the opposite of what is really happening now. In fact that film is fast turning into a retro-comedy that people will find more amusing than informative.

From Daily Mail – the best online news website on the planet:


The speech by former US Vice-President Al Gore was apocalyptic. ‘The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff,’ he said. ‘It could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now.’

Those comments came in 2007 as Mr Gore accepted the Nobel Peace Prize for his campaigning on climate change.

But seven years after his warning, The Mail on Sunday can reveal that, far from vanishing, the Arctic ice cap has expanded for the second year in succession – with a surge, depending on how you measure it, of between 43 and 63 per cent since 2012.

To put it another way, an area the size of Alaska, America’s biggest state, was open water two years ago, but is again now covered by ice.

The most widely used measurements of Arctic ice extent are the daily satellite readings issued by the US National Snow and Ice Data Center, which is co-funded by Nasa. These reveal that – while the long-term trend still shows a decline – last Monday, August 25, the area of the Arctic Ocean with at least 15 per cent ice cover was 5.62 million square kilometres.

This was the highest level recorded on that date since 2006 (see graph, right), and represents an increase of 1.71 million square kilometres over the past two years – an impressive 43 per cent.

Other figures from the Danish Meteorological Institute suggest that the growth has been even more dramatic. Using a different measure, the area with at least 30 per cent ice cover, these reveal a 63 per cent rise – from 2.7 million to 4.4 million square kilometres.
