The ice does not care what people talk about.

Be patient Kassy....

Did you click the helpful link I provided just upthread?

If so, what did you make of it?

It is about cherry picking on the internet (which the ice does not care about).

It’s clickbait what they do with climate news, media have to use clickbaiting (they are in very poor shape and extreme events are very juicy bait). But my opinion is it’s a disservice and I just wanted to point that out, that it assists denier’s narratives like the example Jim Hunt brought (goddard aka Tony Heller?). Others here think the more alarmist the better? Ok I disagree.

I agree with you nadir.  People want honesty, and the best practice is to give it to them.

In general terms this whole topic is broadly concerned with "cherry picking [Arctic data] on the internet".

However the far end of the link I am patiently directing your attention towards offers rather more than that.

Cheers Mod!

It may well make sense eventually to spin out some of this to "politics", but in here the focus is definitely on the ice.

However 2 months ago I moved to a village with a "local" pub, and I'm just heading over there try out their menu for the first time.

More (much?) later.

Sure. Sorry it was slightly delayed, for some reason I thought the thread was not in "my" domain, obviously wrong. And thanks for the personal reminder.

You learn something interesting every day. Hopefully.

I discovered that the kitchen at my local closes at 20:30. I arrived at 20:40. The bar lady rushed out to see if they could do me a plate of chips at least, but sadly everything was turned off and they were already washing up.

In the meantime, has nobody bothered to follow my helpful link? Or if someone did, was the import of the words of wisdom at the far end not immediately obvious?

According to a climate scientist at DMI, in the context of "Steve Goddard":

Quote
I gave up on that man years ago. He's had it explained to him over and over again. I can only conclude it's wilful ignorance now.

The graph was never supposed to be an outreach tool. It was put together by some colleagues for their own information and to compare with model/satellite sea ice results.
 
Can't put it back in the box now though. Too many people check it every day (and get very annoyed if you play with it)

How many times has "the graph was never supposed to be an outreach tool" [DMI T2 >80N] been republished on the ASIF over the last 10 years or so?

NP HH. In "normal" circumstances I am fully in agreement with you.

However I do make exceptions, in exceptional circumstances. Like now for instance.

I'd be grateful if you could find the time to watch Mr. James O'Brien's short video just above, and then let me (and anybody else who might be interested) know what you make of it?

Except for the annoying British pronunciation of 'Putin', there's nothing controversial in what the man said, I believe. Is he some right-leaning commentator who acknowledges AGW and criticises the British government of its greenwashing and inaction? Is that what makes this interesting?

Mr. James O'Brien is generally considered to be "left of centre"! Certainly as far as UK MSM celebrities are concerned.

What makes this interesting is that, amongst other things, Nigel Farage's legal eagles have recently slapped a SLAPP suit on Frances Coppola. See the political thread op cit. above once imparting more detail on this interesting information rises to the top of my long TODO list.

Lots of the "usual suspects" are crawling out from under their dank slimy bridges. Malcolm Roberts and Bjorn Lomborg soiled my XTwitter timeline this morning, for example.

However, sticking with the Prime Suspect for now:

Steve Milloy has also been promulgating Arctic "junk science" over on XTwitter, in this case regarding surface melt and mass balance of the Greenland ice sheet:

Quote
'Hottest month ever' left Greenland with snow accumulation higher than the 1981-2010 average.

The Arctic is supposed to be warming the fastest. But not during the 'hottest month ever'? With incredible North Atlantic warming?

Climate is ho-ho-hoax

     The acolytes of nihilism ("there is nothing but me & now") are working to keep us on the climate disruption trajectory.  Material from PragerU has been approved for use in Florida public schools, including K-5th grade.  There is a Sci. American story about this malfeasance at  https://climatecrocks.com/2023/08/08/in-florida-along-with-slaverys-good-points-a-climate-denial-curriculum/

     The PragerU video linked below has a "Global Issues" tag which could presumably qualify it for use in science class indoctrination for 1st graders.  If I described how pernicious this slop is you would think I was exaggerating, so I won't bother.  See for yourself.  WARNING: 9 minutes of anti-science/climate denial/Holocaust-cheapening agitprop: 

      Does anyone else find it odd that the heroine in the PragerU climate disinformation cartoon is the only character drawn with what is essentially a pubic hair patch?  I put nothing past these people.  The tobacco dealer's marketing to young kids with the Joe Camel penis and scrotum face cartoon character was no accident.  The cigarette manufacturers paid big bucks to psyops consultants to figure out how to addict new customers.  Those of us who have endured Trump for the past 8 years long ago realized that there is no bottom to the vortex of evil.  We can't ignore the propaganda war or destructive disinformation if we want to survive this crisis.


     Answers to the oh-so-patiently-wise climate change rebuttal fronm Anias's parents to their needlessly overwrought daughter are all over the place for anyone interested enough to read or watch.  A good debunking of the "climate changed before humans so it can't be our fault" myth is available from Climate Adam at

      As noted by Box and Anna Gilbert in their "Biggest Loser" video series comparing Greenland to Antarctic contributions to sea level rise, until we get to zero additional GHG emissions, the ASI and all us passengers on planet Earth are on a one-way trip to Loserville, population Us.

However he appears to have a new one up his voluminous sleeve. Providing empirical evidence that the IPCC's global warming “predictions” are correct!!!

To cherry-pick the last 10-15 years of Arctic SI extent minima reminds me of many folks, especially in mainstream media, cherry-picking the Antarctic Sea Ice extent minima of the last 6 years to make a point and write catastrophist articles about it.
I guess that’s why scientists have to use minimum 20-30 year span to make serious claims about climate change trends.

WUWT's Great White Arctic Sea Ice Con
« Reply #579 on: January 22, 2024, 07:39:09 PM »
According to Jim Steele, reprinted at Watts Up With That yesterday:

Quote
As the natural Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation shifts to more northern hemisphere cooling, a decrease in the flow of warming tropical Atlantic water entering the Arctic, a rebound in insulating Arctic sea ice will occur that will simultaneously decrease Arctic temperatures.

People who understand these natural climate dynamics that affect the Arctic, always and quickly understand the bogus global warming crisis is driven by natural Arctic warming oscillations.

https://GreatWhiteCon.info/2024/01/jim-steele-and-anthony-watts-embrace-bad-arctic-science/

Also according to Jim and Anthony, the Arctic temperature anomaly chart below is dated "November 2022"

Ron Clutz is waxing lyrical about how much sea ice there is in the Arctic at the moment.

"Snow White" disagrees of course. How long do you suppose it will be before Ron release "her" comment from his "moderation queue"?

Rog (Tallbloke) Tattersall has "reposted" Ron's extract from an Arctic icebreaker's bilge.

Perhaps surprisingly, Rog is giving "Snow White" a fair crack of the whip on his blog. Where Ron delights in continually accusing "Snow" of being a heavily disguised "troll"!

Tony Heller has just performed an astonishing feat of acrobatic agility.

He has just jumped an entire Fram Strait full of sharks!

"Snow White" commented:

For Tony’s next astounding acrobatic accomplishment he has boldly undertaken to walk a tightrope from the mightiest of the Great White Con Ivory Towers, here on the shores of Santa’s secret summer swimming pool, to the tip of USS Skate’s tallest communications antenna.

With NO SAFETY NET!

Chris Martz, the new kid on the “skeptical block”, proudly proclaimed on XTwitter:

Quote
There’s more sea ice heading into the summer in the Arctic this year than there was in 1989.

That is of course a porky pie:

Toby Young has form on Arctic sea ice decline denial, but in this instance he's kicking up a fuss about something else:

According to his article in The Spectator magazine today:

Quote
On Sunday, the BBC did something unusual. It invited Luke Johnson, a climate contrarian, to join a panel with Laura Kuenssberg to discuss net zero...

The other two people on the panel – Chris Packham and Layla Moran – are members of the climate emergency camp, so there was no pretence of ‘balance’. At one point, the exchange between Johnson and Packham became heated and when the latter invoked the recent downpour in Dubai as well as extensive wildfires in the ‘global south’, as evidence of the effect of anthropogenic global warming, Johnson challenged him to come up with evidence that extreme weather was caused by carbon emissions.

‘It doesn’t come from Toby Young’s Daily Septic [sic], which is basically put together by a bunch of professionals with close affiliations to the fossil fuel industry,’ replied Packham. ‘It comes from something called science.’

"Snow White" felt compelled to quibble!

https://GreatWhiteCon.info/2024/04/does-toby-young-have-close-affiliations-to-the-fossil-fuel-industry/

Quote
According to Companies House Toby Young is associated with Luke Johnson as well as Daily Sceptic Editor Will Jones. They are all directors of Skeptics Limited.

Isn’t it strange that Toby didn’t mentioned that fact in his Spectator article or on XTwitter?

Isn’t it strange that the BBC platforms a “climate contrarian” associated with the Daily Sceptic?

Isn’t it strange that The Spectator isn’t discussing what Layla Moran had to say?

“Let’s imagine that the science is right. What if we don’t do anything?

When you talk about colder, and poorer. That would be catastrophic, and I’m sure nobody wants to vote for that”.

In other news from Companies House, Toby Young and Luke Johnson are also directors of The Free Speech Union Limited.

So are Professor Nigel Biggar and Douglas Murray:

Who would've thunk it?

According to the Daily ToryGraph:

Quote
In a statement, the BBC said: “We received complaints from people unhappy Laura didn’t challenge a comment made by panel member Chris Packham regarding the Daily Sceptic.

“During a discussion with the panel about various issues including climate change, broadcaster and conservationist Chris Packham claimed that the Daily Sceptic, whose editor-in-chief is Toby Young, is ‘basically put together by a bunch of professionals with close affiliations to the fossil fuel industry’.

“We acknowledge we would ideally have asked him to present his evidence on this, but in a fast-moving live programme it’s not always possible to pick up on every point made by our guests.

“We’ve removed any posts on X with this part of the discussion.”

The BBC has also removed the programme from iPlayer.

Evidently lots of people have been complaining to our beloved BBC about Chris Packham’s recent outburst on live television, so I thought I’d follow the herd. Here is the text of the complaint I typed into the Beeb’s online form earlier today:

Here's a copy of the now cancelled "Daily Septic" moment on the BBC.

In all the circumstances the moderators may of course choose to consign this missive to the memory hole here as well.

Andrew Neil has still neglected to retract, correct or apologise to the UKMO for his public smear.

Hence please see the #UKMOGate and #DailySeptic hashtags on X (formerly Twitter)

Any and all "Likes" and/or "ReXweets" would be much appreciated.

The sibilant Daily Septic suggestion is an interesting one. It might turn out to be Packham’s greatest contribution to civilisation.

The Arctic Gods move in mysterious ways.

A BBC "Climate and Science Journalist" has just got in touch with me. She'd heard of the "Daily Sceptic", but not the "Daily Septic".

I took the liberty of introducing her to "Snow White's" updated magnum opus:

After a brief interlude on the melting season thread, here's today's addition to the Arctic edition of "Snow White's" Daily Septic fact check:

https://GreatWhiteCon.info/2024/04/reuters-fact-checks-daily-septic-arctic-sea-ice-nonsense/#Apr-29

According to an interview with Prof. Julienne Stroeve of UCL on the BBC World Service "More or Less" radio programme:

Quote
If you cherry pick a few days in early 2024, from the 7th to the 11th of January, the Arctic sea ice was at it’s highest level since 2004, but if you pick any other dates in January that’s not true.

And if you cherry pick the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th of January there was less Arctic ice compared to the same dates in 2012, the year when the Arctic went the closest that it has so far to being ice free in the summer.

Julienne goes on to explain to Toby Young and Chris Morrison that:

Quote
There is no correlation between the winter sea ice extent and how much will melt out in the summer, and we have seen this time and time again.

And also patiently explains weather in general and the GAC in particular to the daily sceptics.
