Guest writer Kenneth Richard provided in a comment an abbreviated list of locations across the globe that have not seen any warming over the past 60 years and more.
Yet many authorities at these locations are rushing blindly to curb rapid warming they falsely believe is taking place. Maybe they ought to look at the data for once before wasting billions trying to prevent something that isn’t even there.
For example the North Atlantic, an important region concerning global climate, has not warmed since the 1870s!

Greenland as stable as ever
Greenland, a major concern of climate alarmists because it stockpiles enough ice to raise global sea levels some 6 meters, also hasn’t warmed in since the 1880s, as the following chart from Mikkelsen et al 2018 shows:
Antarctica: no warming in 200 years
The big sea level kahuna of course is Antarctica. If that huge block of ice ever melted completely, sea levels would rise some 60 meters! And thus submerge vast areas of lowlands worldwide (never mind it would take thousands of years at extremely higher global temperatures).
Yet According to Schneider et al 2006, there hasn’t been warming there in 200 years!
Antarctic temperatures in fact had been heading sharply south at the time the paper was published.
Himalayas: no warming in 300 years!
Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research Director Hans-Joachim Schellnhuber once embarrassed himself by claiming the massive Himalayan glaciers would melt by the year 2030. But the following chart tells us that it might take just a bit longer:
According to a study by Thapa et al, 2015, the Himalayas recently have been cooling and the temperature there now is like it was 300 years ago! Don’t worry, when the year 2030 comes around, we’ll be sure to check to see if the ice is still there. In the meantime, do your best bearing all the suspense.
And so it goes region after region. So the next time the media and climate alarmists issue panicked warnings of rapid warming and melting ice caps, we need to ask ourselves: What the hell are they raving about? Are they okay?
The following is only an abbreviated list of places that have not cooled in a long time, and Kenneth says there are hundreds more like these. Many are from the results of very recent papers. Click on the links provided for the charts.

If you live there, send them to your lawmakers and ask why they are wasting so much money preventing something that isn’t even happening.
Thanks to Kenneth Richard for compiling this handy list.
