The Oft-forgotten Crisis Revisited

[XLFD]

Some of our readers are old enough to remember back before the current Covid-19 crisis when all we had to worry about was the climate change crisis.  It started out as global warming, a phenomenon which replaced the orthodoxy starting in the 1970s of global cooling.  Global warming started gaining some momentum beyond the fringes of climate science after a vice president latched onto the ideas and profited off it by making predictions that would never come true, citing climatologists whose predictive models were extremely inaccurate.

Rather than forego the alarmism that was the main tenet of global warming, along with advocating for global responses and anti-capitalism policies, scientists allowed marketing folks to change the crisis into climate change when the calamities of a burning world and submerging coastlines were far from realized.  This allowed the media and the well-funded, crisis-friendly scientists to blame missing ice caps on climate change, and growing ice caps on climate change too.  

Many people were beginning to lose faith in climate change, so those still wanting to keep the crisis afloat for their globalist agenda decided to effectively jump the shark when they decided to repress all scientists, all former vice-presidents, and all data in order to put a Swedish schoolgirl at their forefront to humanize the face of climate change.  

As rational people asked "How dare you?" to the climate change pushers, most people realized the crisis had run its course.  Unsurprisingly, the next crisis came almost immediately thereafter, where the climatologists were replaced by doctors and global warming was replaced by global pandemic.  Climate change is still used at times to explain a stray hurricane or some wildfires, but it's pretty much been put deep into the toolbox of the crisis-peddlers as the new power-grabbing toy of a supervirus proves to be more useful.

So you might not hear about the latest climate news where Antarctica has had their coldest winter of all time in 2021 since they have been able to record it (1957).  The Washington Post reported that the average temperature during their winter (coinciding with our summer) was -61.1 degrees Celsius, shattering the old record by 0.5 degrees (or 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit) reached back in 1976. 

The WaPo, as a member of the mainstream media, called the phenomenon “impressive and unexpected".  In order to reconcile the contradictory South Pole result with its ongoing claims of an overheating planet, they added: “both Antarctica and the planet continue to rapidly warm” — right before admitting another bitter pill for them: “The extreme cold over Antarctica helped push sea ice levels surrounding the continent to their fifth-highest level on record in August.” 

They also begrudgingly reported multiple -100 degree days and that Russia’s Vostok Station dipped to minus-110.9 degrees (minus-79.4 Celsius) just days ago, which according to the WaPo was just one degree (0.6 Celsius) from the world’s lowest temperature on record during October.

The WaPo could not resist the urge to try and balance the very cool news with the alarmism that they have spread for several decades, making a claim that for the whole planet, it was a very warm summer-- making the top five warmest June-August periods ever in 2021. 

Yet satellite data shows this has clearly not been the case. June-2021 came in 0.01°C below the mean of the 1991-2020 reference period, and July and August came in at +0.20°C and +0.17°C, making the summer mean on average a modest 0.12°C warmer than the 1991-2020 period: 

The Washington Post’s suggestion that Antarctica “continues to warm rapidly” is also contradicted by recent studies showing the entire South Pole continent has in fact cooled since data recording began in the 1950s, as seen here, here and here.

The WaPo should get some kudos for reporting the new record cold for Antarctica's winter, because you won't be seeing this readily acknowledged by any of the scientists invested in climate change alarmism.  But maybe they should verify what these same 'scientists' tell them when they use them as fact-checkers to try to cool off news like this which seems to go against the climate crisis narrative.  It's unfortunate they just can't restrict their fake science news to the virus crisis, which continues to work for them, for now.

I like this article and agree entirely with your assertions. Too many are fooled by fakery and the slight of hand used by pseudoscience to convince the gullible and naive.

Well done X. I don't know when people will wake up and see that the left is a repressive ideology that wants to control all things Globally. What is really scary is that boneheads like Bill Gates are promoting Geoengineering which is the business of trying to restructure the Earths atmosphere, a very dangerous business to say the least. The more people who educate themselves on how the left is trying to dominate us the better our chances are of defeating left's fascisism. Even the supreme demon himself is stuggling with climate change whether it be real or not.

Thanks Sidney and Willy, I appreciate your feedback.  What neither of us appreciate, I'm sure, is the current politicization of science, which is bound to happen once your major universities accept Marxism as the norm, research is sponsored by leftist organizations, and contrary data and science is dismissed or diminished if it does not fit the narrative.  

Be suspicious of studies that cannot be duplicated and or verified empirically and be wary of scientists that are not willing to argue against science or experimental results that are contrary to theirs.
