Greenland Ice sheet Meltdown Scare–Except It’s Not True

By Paul Homewood

The Washington Post has joined in the Greenland heatwave scam:



The same heat dome that roasted Europe and broke national temperature records in five countries last week has shifted to Greenland, where it is causing one of the biggest melt events ever observed on the fragile ice sheet.
By some measures, the ice melt is more extreme than during a benchmark record event in July 2012, according to scientists analyzing the latest data. During that event, about 98 percent of the ice sheet experienced some surface melting, speeding up the process of shedding ice into the ocean.
The fate of Greenland’s ice sheet is of critical importance to every coastal resident in the world, since Greenland is already the biggest contributor to modern-day sea level rise. The pace and extent of Greenland ice melt will help determine how high sea levels climb and how quickly….
The Danish Meteorological Institute tweeted that more than half the ice sheet experienced some degree of melting on Tuesday, according to a computer model simulation, which made it the “highest this year by some distance.”
But the peak of this melt event is likely still to come Wednesday or Thursday.

Paul Homewood rebuts:

Meanwhile, back in the real world, temperatures at Nuuk in the west, and Tasiilaq in the east are peaking at 7C and 11C respectively. The warmest spot is further north in Ilulissat, where it will reach 16C today.





But there is nothing remotely unusual about these temperatures:

Indeed, the temperature at Nuuk is actually below average for July:



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuuk

The ice sheet surface mass balance is running well above that of 2012:

And there is no mention of the fact that the ice sheet grew substantially last year, and also the year before:



The simple fact is that the Greenland ice sheet melts every summer, particularly when the sun shines. Indeed, if it did not it would carry on growing year after year.
Inevitably there are some days when the weather is warmer and sunnier than normal, and others when it is colder. To pick an odd day or two is ridiculous and dishonest scaremongering.

State Agency Claims Climate Change is Rapidly Accelerating in Golden State
Democrat Deceit: Climate change science is political science

By Katy Grimes, November 14, 2022

Gov. Gavin Newsom continues to tout the need for drastic climate change regulations and policies. “Every Californian has suffered from the effects of record high temperatures, dry winters, prolonged drought, and proliferating wildfires in recent years,” a new climate change report says. But where is the actual science backing these statements and subsequent policies?
The latest edition of “Indicators of Climate Change in California,” recently produced by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment, reports:

“The results are stark. California has warmed by an average of 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit since 1895 and drought conditions were comparable to the most severe drought periods on record at the end of 2021. Glaciers have essentially disappeared from the Trinity Alps in Northern California, and, in 2020, wildfire smoke plumes were present in each county for at least 46 days.”
Climate change is rapidly accelerating in California, the state report by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment says, whose mission is to “protect and enhance the health of Californians and our state’s environment through scientific evaluations that inform, support and guide regulatory and other actions.”
They warn:
“California is experiencing a climate crisis that is increasingly taking a toll on the health and well-being of its people and on its unique and diverse ecosystems. Every Californian has suffered from the effects of record high temperatures, dry winters, prolonged drought, and proliferating wildfires in recent years. California’s biodiversity is threatened as alterations to habitat conditions brought about by a changing climate are occurring at a pace that could overwhelm the ability of plant and animal species to adapt.”
Yana Garcia, Secretary, California Environmental Protection Agency explains the report:
“This report also shows why we must continue to act quickly. This summer, California adopted nation-leading regulations banning the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. The forthcoming 2022 Scoping Plan builds on such policies to provide a path to achieving both California’s 2030 climate goals and state carbon neutrality no later than 2045, a goal codified by AB 1279…”
“Since 2004, California has steadily reduced its greenhouse gas emissions, and the indicators in this report present 41 reasons why we’re not taking our foot off the accelerator.”
The report claims “Human influence has warmed the atmosphere, ocean, and land, leading to measurable, widespread, and rapid changes in our climate.” But they don’t provide any evidence how humans have warned the ocean and land. Most forthright scientists agree that the sun is what warms the ocean and land, and controls climate.
At least they admit droughts are naturally occurring: “Although a naturally occurring feature of California’s climate, drought conditions have become more frequent and more intense.” (emphasis ours)
The agency operates the “Climate Change Indicators Program” which:

• Develop a set of indicators that track climate change and its impacts on California’s weather, water and other physical systems, ecosystems, agriculture and public health.
• Prepare periodic reports on the information generated by the climate change indicators that CalEPA programs and other state and local agencies can use in decision-making for mitigating and adapting to climate change.

The report also dubiously conflates wildfires with climate change, and the resulting health issues from smoke.

Within their reports under OEHHA’s strategic plan, the following principles guide OEHHA in carrying out its mission, “credibility in scientific findings and reports.”
The bottom line is that the agency provides what the governor needs to continue to command and control the state and its people under the fear of “catastrophic” climate change, as well as to justify ongoing federal funding.
It’s also how Newsom justifies “working to hold greedy oil companies accountable for raking in record profits while fleecing Californians at the pump.” He announced a special legislative session on December 5 “to put windfall profits of oil companies back in taxpayers’ pockets.”
As the Globe reported last week, high gas prices are largely a result of his and Democrats’ own policies by deliberately creating shortages: “Gov. Newsom will start banning gasoline, diesel and even hybrid cars and trucks in 2026, well before California has an electrical grid that can handle the increased energy demand while keeping our light on, or before there are more affordable electric vehicle options for families.”
In June, Gov. Newsom signed into the state budget policies to make it easier to bring clean energy projects online by “speeding up the environmental review process of new clean energy projects, and helping the state move away from electricity generated from fossil fuels.”
“The Governor also announced that he will work with the Legislature to enshrine carbon neutrality into state law, increase the state’s ambition towards our 2030 climate goals and accelerate our clean energy targets, while supporting carbon sequestration from our natural and working lands and advancing safe and equitable engineered carbon removal. He will also work to finalize the state’s historic investments under the $53.9 billion climate commitment, with a focus on equity and community resilience, while expanding opportunities for climate innovation and manufacturing here in California.”

That statement means absolutely nothing, other than to announce the governor’s spending.
In his California Blueprint, Newsom says California’s “investment” of $53.9 million climate commitment will “Protect Californians from the extreme effects of fires, drought, and heat.”

As for the “extreme heat” Gov. Newsom continually refers to, the Globe recently reported, in 1973, the hottest temperature in Sacramento was 107 degrees. By 1975, it was back up to 113 degrees. In fact, between 1972 and 1992, over 20 years, every summer in Sacramento was in the triple digits, and there were four summers hotter than 110 degrees. In 1996, it was 110 degrees in Sacramento. In 2002, it was 110 degrees. In 2006, it was 111 degrees. In 2017 it was 110 degrees. In 2020 it was 112 degrees in Sacramento. Last summer in Sacramento 2021, temperatures reached 109 degrees. The point is, every summer in the Sacramento region, temperatures are hot – 104 up to 113 degrees.

Another $6.1 billion will provide “Affordable, convenient electric vehicles for all.” This is expected “to decarbonize California’s most polluting sector and improve public health.”
Missing from the report is how the state plans to provide the increased electricity, when currently we are nowhere close to being able to provide reliable electricity because of unreliable alternate energy sources (wind, solar).
In October, Gov. Newsom, Oregon Governor Kate Brown, Washington Governor Jay Inslee, and British Columbia Premier John Horgan “doubled down” and signed a new Statement of Cooperation, another climate agreement – the Pacific Coast Collaborative – “recommitting” the Western region “to climate action.”
“In California, we punch above our weight when it comes to climate action – but our actions can only do so much without the rest of the world at our side,” Gov. Newsom said. He called climate change “the issue that unites all of us, not just here, but around the rest of the globe.”
Newsom called what is taking place, “the Great Awakening,” noting that “something is happening… the extreme heat, extreme drought, the extreme weather… we have all experiences this whipsaw back and forth.”
This showed us that the driving force behind climate change policies and spending is not the California Governor, but something much larger.
As President Joe Biden just attended the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Egypt, he told us that this really is a redistribution of U.S. wealth: “A climate crisis is about human security, economic security, environmental security, national security, and the very life of the planet,” President Biden said.
United Nations climate summits are held every year, ostensibly for governments around the world to agree steps to “limit global temperature rises.” And California, since Jerry Brown’s governorship, is bearing the brunt of the costly regulations, while not moving the carbon needle at all.
Notably, more than 400 private jets were flown in for the UN EgyptClimate by delegates. They were accused of hypocrisy, but obviously don’t care.

  "The International Disaster Database, a nonpartisan organization that tracks deaths from climate-related causes—such as extreme heat, floods, storms, and drought—shows that such deaths have been plummeting as CO2 emissions have been rising. How is this possible? Because of the fossil fuel energy that emitted the CO2, which has empowered us to climate-proof our environment with heating, air-conditioning, sturdy buildings, mass irrigation, and weather warning systems. Fossil fuel energy has not taken a naturally safe climate and made it unnaturally dangerous; it’s taken our naturally dangerous climate and made it unnaturally safe. Fossil fuels are not an existential threat. They are an existential resource because they increase something much more important than the level of CO2 in the atmosphere: the level of human empowerment. Increased life expectancy, income, health, leisure time, and education are all tightly linked to increased access to fossil fuels.

To put this into context: either you could go vegetarian for the rest of your life, or you could reduce your emissions by the exact same amount by spending a little more than $3 a year using the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, the first mandatory market-based program in the United States covering several states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Given all of this, it seems downright mean-spirited of the Manchester University scientists to try to shame people for having a summer barbecue.

Carbon tax shows new signs of life in Congress The Hil: Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle are introducing competing bills that aim to put a tax on carbon. The push to regulate greenhouse gas emissions come as both Democrats and Republicans face pressure from their constituents, and in some cases the fossil fuel industry itself, to regulate carbon emissions that lead to climate change.

  Flashback: ANALYSIS: CARBON TAXES INCREASE GLOBAL CO2 EMISSIONS. PERIOD. - 'Not only does the logic show that carbon taxes in the West will invariably increase global CO2 emissions, but so does the empirical evidence...adopting carbon taxes in the West will actually raise global carbon emissions by offshoring economic activity from relatively environmentally-friendly places, like the USA and Germany, to places with lax environmental laws, like China. Open Markets & Offshoring, or How Carbon Taxes Raise Global CO2 Emissions. Wealth is like water: it flows to the lowest possible point, and continues to do so until the level is equal. This is why consumers chase cheaper goods, why investors look for undervalued companies, and why multinationals offshore to cheaper markets. This last point—offshoring—is why Western carbon taxes will actually increase global emissions.'
  
• Activists glue themselves to Capitol Hill sites to urge ‘climate action’
• China Still Expanding Coal Power Capacity “China still has quite a big demand for electricity. The government now supports regions with poor wind and solar resources to use coal-fired power … it’s a more practical measure, as gas is still too expensive,” said Xiao.

Challenges to the CO2 Global Warming Hypothesis: Peer Review Abused to Axe Skeptical Paper

COP FLOP: None of UN’s criteria for climate summit success none were achievedWilliam R. Hawkins: With fossil fuels generating some two-thirds of world energy production (59 percent of U.S. energy, with nuclear providing another 20 percent), all the talk about transitioning away to other sources must be flexible. Hence the term at COP26 was expanded to “unabated” fossil fuels, which means projects that do not deploy technology to absorb the carbon they produce.
China did not sign that statement ending government financing of unabated fossil fuel projects. ... While the United States listed actual objectives, China only listed aspirations. For example, the United States set a goal to reach 100 percent carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035 whereas China only said it would “phase down coal consumption during the 15th Five Year Plan and make best efforts to accelerate this work.”

Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry: ‘We need to disabuse ourselves of the hubris that we can control Earth’s climate & prevent extreme weather events’Dr. Curry: "Under the auspices of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, we’ve oversimplified a very complex problem. The causes of climate variability and change are complex, and any predictions of 21st century climate change are associated with deep uncertainty." ...
"The planet has been warming for more than a century. So far, the world has done a decent job at adapting to this change. The yields for many crops have doubled or even quadruped since 1960. Over the past century, the number of deaths per million people from weather and climate catastrophes have dropped by 97%. Losses from global weather disasters as a percent of GDP have declined over the past 30 years."

WaPo: ‘How climate change & extreme weather are crimping America’s pie supply’
WaPo: For months, supply chain issues and labor shortages have been putting the squeeze on Mike’s Pies...But another powerful factor — climate change — is heightening those challenges. Its impact is less visible but more enduring, and its consequences are playing out right as the food industry is struggling to avoid holiday season shortages. Many of the ingredients in Mike’s Pies’ pies — wheat, berries, honey, soybean oil, among numerous others — have been hit hard by climate and weather effects, including droughts, wildfires and power shutdowns around the world. ... “We’re seeing more dramatic weather shifts, [and] these factors influence dairymen in these parts of the country,” said Galloway, who buys most of his milk from Wisconsin.

“There is no place to run and hide from extreme weather events,” said Michael Swanson, Wells Fargo’s chief agricultural economist. ... One of the contract packagers the company works with was shut down for six weeks because it couldn’t get plastic bags, fallout from last winter’s polar vortex in Texas, which triggered a global plastics shortage.

Tropical cyclone activity below-normal in 2021 across Northern Hemisphere & US tornadic activity also below-normalMeteorologist Paul Dorian: "Tropical cyclone activity across the Northern Hemisphere has been below-normal in 2021 in much the same way as it was last year. Specifically, while the Atlantic Basin featured above-normal tropical activity in this year and last, the Pacific Ocean experienced below-normal conditions in both years leading the way to below-normal levels across the hemisphere as a whole. In terms of tornadoes, it has been another below-normal season in the US with no EF-5’s recorded."



New Study: There Was Less Arctic Sea Ice In The 1700s-1800s Than From 2002-2006Paleoclimate data indicate there was less Arctic sea ice during the pre-industrial period than in modern times, or when CO2 concentrations were 100 ppm lower than today (280 vs. 380 ppm).
Scientists (Diamond et al., 2021) assert that during the 18th and 19th centuries Arctic sea ice extent minimum (September) values averaged 5.54 million km². Though modern sea ice losses are often characterized as dangerously low, satellite data indicate the 2002-’06 five-year average minimum sea ice extent was 5.92 million km², which is 0.38 km² above the 1700s and 1800s or pre-industrial (PI) levels. ...
Several other studies also affirm the sea ice losses observed via satellite in recent decades are not unusual or unprecedented when compared to past centuries.

Climate Depot's Marc Morano: "The UN climate summit's failure is good news for humanity, science, and a rational energy policy. Despite the tears over the UN's latest climate failure, the would-be planet savers will continue to strive to regulate and control every aspect of human endeavors from the food we eat, to the energy we use to our transportation to our housing and our economies. While we can savor the moment of this failure by the UN climate forces, we must remain vigilant in defeating the climate agenda."

UK Guardian climate activist turns against Green New Deal: ‘Muddled, top-down, technocratic: why the Green New Deal should be scrapped’ – ‘It’s completely unworkable’Aditya Chakrabortty: The project itself – supposedly a stark, bold, urgent idea – is a conceptual fog. Like some kind of policy peasouper, it nestles densely around arguments of ecological limits, social justice and economic transformation, allowing only a glimpse of their outlines. That suits many on the left, as it serves to obscure all their disagreements and so keep the peace just a little longer. ...
For AOC and today’s US left, it is about jobs (albeit “green” ones, a term far easier to deploy than to define) and infrastructure; for Lucas, Labour’s Clive Lewis and others currently pushing a green new deal through parliament, it includes citizens’ assemblies and a shorter working week. It is both “a green industrial revolution” in the north of England and debt cancellation for the global south; both low-carbon Keynesianism and nationalisation of the energy industry. It is, in other words, a big duffel bag stuffed with pent-up progressive demands and jumbled up with highly dubious history and tiresome war metaphors.
