Article is two years old, but.......? Is this the right assessment, or is he a Donald supporter? Updated NASA Data: Global Warming Not Causing Any Polar Ice RetreatJames Taylor, Contributor, President of the Spark of Freedom Foundation. May 19, 2015
Note: Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.
Updated data from NASA satellite instruments reveal the Earth’s polar ice caps have not receded at all since the satellite instruments began measuring the ice caps in 1979. Since the end of 2012, moreover, total polar ice extent has largely remained above the post-1979 average. The updated data contradict one of the most frequently asserted global warming claims – that global warming is causing the polar ice caps to recede.
The timing of the 1979 NASA satellite instrument launch could not have been better for global warming alarmists. The late 1970s marked the end of a 30-year cooling trend. As a result, the polar ice caps were quite likely more extensive than they had been since at least the 1920s. Nevertheless, this abnormally extensive 1979 polar ice extent would appear to be the “normal” baseline when comparing post-1979 polar ice extent.
Updated NASA satellite data show the polar ice caps remained at approximately their 1979 extent until the middle of the last decade. Beginning in 2005, however, polar ice modestly receded for several years. By 2012, polar sea ice had receded by approximately 10 percent from 1979 measurements. (Total polar ice area – factoring in both sea and land ice – had receded by much less than 10 percent, but alarmists focused on the sea ice loss as “proof” of a global warming crisis.)
A 10-percent decline in polar sea ice is not very remarkable, especially considering the 1979 baseline was abnormally high anyway. Regardless, global warming activists and a compliant news media frequently and vociferously claimed the modest polar ice cap retreat was a sign of impending catastrophe. Al Gore even predicted the Arctic ice cap could completely disappear by 2014.
In late 2012, however, polar ice dramatically rebounded and quickly surpassed the post-1979 average. Ever since, the polar ice caps have been at a greater average extent than the post-1979 mean.
Now, in May 2015, the updated NASA data show polar sea ice is approximately 5 percent above the post-1979 average.
During the modest decline in 2005 through 2012, the media presented a daily barrage of melting ice cap stories. Since the ice caps rebounded – and then some – how have the media reported the issue?

www.disclose.tv/news/inuit_elders_warn_nasa_and_the_world_the_earth_has_shifted/139159 not so quick rebel squad leader... another explanation for earth's climate changes... Inuit Elders Warn NASA And The World: The Earth Has Shifted!Indigenous Inuits have another explanation for the changes in Earth's climate, NASA redirects their evidence. Several Inuit elders have informed NASA of their testimony that the changes in temperature on Earth are due to a natural occurrence- the planet has tilted slightly on its axis. The Inuits of the Arctic regions have been watching the sun all of their lives and have taken note of the changes in its positions at all points during the day. They claim that due to the tilt, the sunlight now hits Earth from a higher angle and accounts for their longer daylight as well as the environmental changes such as wind and drift shifts. Moreover, the Inuit elders claim the night sky has been altered and positions of stars have shifted due to the new angle. Their observations are backed up by other Inuit groups from the Arctic regions whom have made similar notes. NASA have a different approach to the issue. According to the NASA official website, they do not deny the alterations described by the Inuit or the possibility of a tilted Earth. Their stance is that these changes are happening because of global warming rather than global warming is the result. The International Business times, April 12th edition 2016, reiterates NASA's claim that this phenomenon is due to global warming. However, on NASA's website it also claims that the shift is an occurrence that had happened much time over the millennia, even at times when human presence was not releasing carbon dioxide or other pollutants into the atmosphere. The Inuits intended to warn NASA that the climate change was a natural process of a shifting Earth, not global warming. The space agency has in turn distributed articles through its channel using their information as evidence of its own agenda, that the tilted earth, resulting from global warming and climate change, have effected their lifestyle. www.disclose.tv/news/inuit_elders_warn_nasa_and_the_world_the_earth_has_shifted/139159

I'm still right because the tilt of the earth on its axis does contribute to climate change. Most people don't realize that the earth actually wobbles like a spinning top which means the axis does not always point in the same direction. It basically goes around in a small circle with a complete wobble taking approximately 40,000 years to complete. This wobble has an effect on the climate because the sun hits the earth from different angles depending on which direction the axis is pointing. It's a natural occurrence though which has nothing to do with greenhouse gasses or people.

Another thing that contributes to climate change is the size and shape of the earth's orbit around the sun. The orbit doesn't always stay the same and when the orbit gets larger or changes shape the planet can get cooler, It would get hotter if the orbit becomes smaller.
Then you have the fact that the intensity of the sun changes over time. When the sun gets hotter, the earth gets hotter, and when the sun gets cooler the earth gets cooler.
And there are other factors involved, like continental drift, volcanic activity, and ocean currents, all of which can have an effect on the earth's climate. All of these things working together are what cause the climate to change. This is why the earth is constantly going back and forth between ice ages and desert. There have been times when the earth was 90% covered with ice, and there have been times when the earth's land masses were 90% desert. Usually we are somewhere in between the two like we are now. We are actually having very mild temperatures right now so people should be enjoying it instead of running around yelling and screaming about doom and gloom.

Btw, I have never disputed the fact that the climate changes, nor have I ever disputed the fact that we are in a warming cycle right now. What I do dispute is that idiotic man-made greenhouse gas theory that has no basis whatsoever in any scientific fact. There is not a single piece of scientific evidence to support it. It is total nonsense that was created by a bunch of political activists and politicians so they could expand the government and gain power. Man-made global warming is a political issue, not a scientific one.

Read more: theedgeofreality.proboards.com/thread/7125/sky-vindicated#ixzz4j5bO10zp******** For whatever reason, I have been seeing topics addressing the difference between (natural) climate changes vs. global warming. If a person doesn't pay attention, it's fairly easy to get "sucked in" by wording differences, and "go" with the "alarmist" theories. So the question for the discerning citizen, is why make a mountain out of a molehill? Is it really ONLY about large amounts of money deferred? How many times have people like US bemoaned the way we (as humans) take for granted this planet? We are rightfully concerned about pollution and other such topics..... My concern is the "reasoning BEHIND CRYING WOLF". We seem to be regularly disbanding old stories and myths ("sticks and stones may break my bones, but ....."; SO UNTRUE). Let's change THIS one up too! 🙂 We ARE smarter. Let's act like it. And don't assume that there is a huge difference between the cares of the "common man" and the wealthy.

It's not just about money. It's about power. The global warming scare gives governments (and political activists) a perfect way to grab huge amounts of power. They claim that global warming is caused by pollution from factories and businesses which gives them a perfect excuse to file lawsuits and pass ever-increasing legislation. They claim it's such s big threat it's going to destroy the planet and it must be acted upon immediately. That naturally scares everybody so nobody will oppose it, and anybody who does oppose it is criticized and accused of being "in favor of pollution." That silences any opposition. And the best part of it is that there won't be any noticeable effects of it until a hundred years from now so they don't even have to come up with any evidence. It's a perfect political scheme. The only problem is that not everybody is gullible enough to fall for it and since the internet now exists the news media does not have a total monopoly over information like they used to so that people like me can point out the fact that there is not one single piece of scientific evidence to support it. Imagine how successful the global warming alarmists would have been if life were still the way it was when they first came up with the idea back in the 1970s...before the Internet had been invented. By now we'd all be living under a totalitarian regime like they had in nazi Germany.

ARCTIC CLIMATE REPORT The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulate, at Bergen, Norway
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone.
Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm.
Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.
Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable .
Oh...................
I must apologize.
I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post - 95 years ago.
This must have been caused by the Model T Ford's emissions.....

There were a lot of reports like that from back in the early 1900s.They were creating a panic back then just the same as they are now. Hitler even used it in Germany to expand his power. It was even part of the reason the Volkswagen Beetle was invented. Of course all that early global warming hype came to an end when the temperature cooled down in the 1940s.

Hey NPR: Take your global warming nonsense about kids and blow it out your F-150 tailpipe By Todd Starnes Published July 21, 2017
The folks at National Public Radio are touting a study that says making babies may be to blame for global warming.
“A recent study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the biggest way to reduce climate change is to have fewer children,” NPR declared.
It’s bad enough that the global warming crowd wants us to use recycled toilet paper and battery-powered cars, but now they want to tell Americans what they can and cannot do in the bedroom.
“I know this is a sensitive topic to bring up,” study co-author Kimberly Nicholas told NPR’s Morning Edition. “Certainly it’s not my place as a scientist to dictate choices for other people. But I do think it is my place to do the analysis and report it fairly.”
The study reportedly found that having one fewer child reduced carbon emissions.
“I think the decision to become a parent is a really personal decision,” she told NPR. “I think the way people relate to it in terms of climate change depends on their view about climate change.”
In addition, the study urged people to consider living car-free, avoiding airplane travel and eating a plant-based diet.
Meanwhile, Bill Nye, the alleged Science Guy, told the Los Angeles Times that older people need to “age out” before climate science can advance.
And by “age out” – he means kick the bucket.
“Climate change deniers, by way of example, are older. It’s generational,” he said. “We’re just going to have to wait for those people to ‘age out,’ as they say.”
In other words, the global warming crowd would be willing to sacrifice your grandmother to save a polar bear. Sorry, Nanna.
So let's review - the liberals believe the only way to save planet earth is to stir-fry lawn clippings, kill off granny and drive one of those effeminate cars that you have to plug into a wall outlet.
I feel a raging microaggression coming on, America.
So for the sake of our great nation, I call upon my fellow countrymen to gas us their F-150’s, barbecue some burgers, grab the Mrs. and put on some Barry White baby-making music.
And if the NPR chatterboxes give you any grief, just tell them to take their global warming nonsense and kindly blow it out their tailpipe.

Auntym,
An inuit friend of mine told me about the shift. He said the ducks started migrating two months ago which is unheard of.
Trees are already yellowing here. A mini ice age is coming. Early winter... 😳
Also i read an article from European scientists that said the reason why the sea ice was melting was because of increased salinity of the North Atlantic- not rising temperatures.
