| CO2 Coalition Science and Research Associate Vijay Jayaraj reports on recent revelations that both Arctic and Antarctic sea ice are growing, not shrinking, as has been claimed by the “experts.” Below is a portion of his reporting.
Both the North and South Poles are defying expectations, piling on more ice despite, as reported in hyperbolic headlines, “record-breaking” global heat.
In the post-2010 era, the September minimum extent of Arctic sea ice occurred in 2012, which was also the lowest since satellite measurements began in 1980. But since 2012, ice has been increasing or oscillating well above that year’s mark.
As in the Arctic, Antarctic temperature and ice coverage are refusing to cooperate with predictions of doom by the climate bedwetters. Data from Vostok and Concordia stations in East Antarctica indicate extremely cold temperatures in early May, with minimums of minus 106.6 degrees Fahrenheit at Concordia on May 12.
As recently as 2023, Concordia station recorded one of its lowest temperatures for the current decade, a brutal minus 117.76 degrees. Similarly, at Western Antarctica’s Byrd Station, a likely all-time low of almost minus 50 degrees was recorded as recently as 2023. These numbers may be surprising, but they are in tune with the unpredictability of climate – and of nature in general.
Let’s just admit it. Things are not as “straightforward” as crisis-obsessed scientists are making it out to be. The climate system is complex, and the science is not settled. Our understanding of climatic dynamics is in its infancy. And to suggest that changes –whatever the direction – in polar ice presages a catastrophe is infantile.
