AGW Causes everything including a freezing Antarctic – ‘What a theory! Nothing disproves it and everything proves it!’

AGW Causes everything including a freezing Antarctic.

Anthony CoxWhen the Man-Made Global Warming (AGW) scare was beginning an honest devotee Steven Guilbeault of Greenpeace said that anything proved AGW; Guilbeault stated:Global warming can mean colder, it can mean drier, it can mean wetter, that’s what we’re dealing with.What a theory! Nothing disproves it and everything proves it!There have been plenty of examples to this all embracing approach since. Most recently the record breaking sea ice in the Antarctic has been in the news. It’s a real slap in the kisser for all the alarmists; how can the planet be burning to a crisp when we’ve got more ice than we can ever use in our Scotch?But credit where credit is due, the alarmists have come up with a new paper which proves all that sea ice is due to AGW. That’s right! More ice is firm evidence of more warming. The paper is by Bintanja et al and is in Nature, where else?Bintanja et al’s theory is that melting of the Antarctic Sheet ice [ice on land] at its base, basal, is happening and this basal melt-water is flowing into the ocean trapping hot water underneath creating an inversion whereby the trapped colder surface water freezes which gives the erroneous impression that things are colder whereas it is AGW heating which sets the whole damn thing off.It’s a pity for Bintanja that another paper shows that instead of basal melting there is basal freezing. In fact Bell et al conclude this basal freezing is expanding the Antarctic ice sheet.Who to believe?Well, the air temperature in the Antarctic hasn’t risen since 1979:And Antarctic sea surface temperature has fallen since 2006, which would explain the extra ice:And if we look at ARGO OHC measurements in the Antarctic we see there is no warming at any level in the ocean: Who are we going to believe: the guys who show that it’s the cold which causes more ice in the Antarctic or the other ones who reckon the extra ice is because it’s getting warmer.
