I’ve by no means seen both the Arctic or the Antarctic ice pack. I’ve, nevertheless, commercially fished for roe herring within the Bering Sea, setting purse seine internet in “brash ice” off of Nome, Alaska. Brash ice is the broken-up stays of the pack ice. It appears to be like like this:
Because of this, polar ice has been a long-time curiosity of mine. So let me invite you to take a wander with me by the present state of the Arctic and Antarctic ice packs. First, listed here are the modifications within the Arctic sea ice cowl:
Determine 1. Modifications within the Arctic sea ice cowl anomaly throughout the satellite tv for pc period
Since round 1990, folks have been speaking about how human-emitted CO2 is busily decreasing the quantity of Arctic sea ice. When it began dropping very quick round 2015, there was speak that we’d handed a “tipping level” from which the Arctic ice would by no means get better. And over this whole time, predictions of an “ice-free Arctic ocean” abounded.
However then … round 2018, the Arctic sea ice rebounded.
Why did it instantly begin dropping so quick post-2015?
No one is aware of. Not one scientist on the planet can inform you.
Why the fast turnaround and rebound beginning in 2018?
No one is aware of. Not one scientist on the planet can inform you.
Having seen these mysteries, how concerning the Antarctic sea ice? Right here’s that knowledge:
Determine 2. Modifications within the Antarctic sea ice cowl anomaly throughout the satellite tv for pc period
Extra mysteries. Why did the Antarctic ice pack, not like the Arctic pack, begin growing fairly quickly round 2008?
No one is aware of.
Why did it once more differ from the Arctic by plateauing from 2010 to 2015?
No one is aware of.
And why did it then mirror the Arctic by dropping very quickly from ~ 2015 to ~ 2018, after which, once more just like the Arctic, flip round and begin rebounding?
No one is aware of.
Lastly, right here’s the worldwide scenario.
Determine 3. Modifications within the world sea ice cowl anomaly throughout the satellite tv for pc period.
It was principally flat from 1981 to 2008, rose till 2010, stayed stage till 2015, dropped till 2018, after which rebounded virtually all the way in which again to the 1990-2000 common.
And never one local weather scientist on our benighted planet can inform you why … besides a few issues are for sure.
First, along with not with the ability to clarify the latest radical sea ice modifications looking back, there wasn’t one local weather scientist on the planet who predicted these giant modifications in sea ice.
Second, it’s extremely unlikely that the reason for the latest gyrations is CO2.
Determine 4. The rise in atmospheric CO2.
As you possibly can see, the rise in atmospheric CO2 has been regular, robust, and unchanged … however the ice cowl has been going up and down like a drunken yo-yo.
Right here’s the strangest half. Regardless of the failure of the various predictions of an “ice-free Arctic”, regardless of the falsified claims that we’ve handed a “tipping level”, even though the explanations for the curious and sudden modifications within the polar sea ice can’t be defined by anybody and the modifications weren’t predicted by anybody … local weather scientists STILL insist that they’ll inform us what the worldwide temperature might be like within the yr 2100.
You might be free to imagine these failed serial doomcasters if you want.
Me … onerous go. I’ve seen too a lot of their predictions crash and burn.
Warmest regards to everybody,
