Warmist hysteria over purportedly ‘catastrophic’ ice melting in Greenland busted

If “global warming,” already twice re-branded as “climate change” and now “climate catastrophe,” were a genuine phenomenon, those promoting the scare would not need to hype naturally-recurring cyclical phenomena as evidence of irreversible change. Yet, over and over again, we hear that, for example, drought in California is permanent – until last year’s record rains……or that “the end of snow” is at hand.

This photo of a dog sled team going through some meltwater on ice in Greenland has made headlines….but it’s just a snapshot of one place, with summer approaching. Nothing really all that unusual is going on.

Yawn. Again with the globetastrophe/climageddon/climalarkey scam. I saw that pic someplace the other day as "proof" that we're doomed. Uh, it's summer in Greenland as well. Do any of the assclown wonder why it was named "GREENland"? Do the assclowns believe that the giant redwoods have stood there forever? Just glanced out at Pevine a few miles west of me and there's still snow on it. Mt Rose same. Still lots of snow in the Sierras. Again for the warmunists out there:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

I could be, possibly, maybe, perhaps, too late.

Ah yes, enter the “Warmists”. How many “ists” we got now?

So where are the “Coldists”?

The Theater of the Absurdists.

Don’t leave out the ‘dumbassists’.

If “global warming” will melt all the damn libtard snowflakes, I say full speed ahead.

Don’t leave out the ‘dumbassists’.

"About 10^23 virus infections occur each second in the oceans; in surface waters they eliminate 20-40% of prokaryotes daily. Viral lysis converts living organisms into particulate matter that becomes carbon dioxide after respiration and photodegradation. "

There's your Gorebal Warning right there...

Oh now you're getting all scientific and stuff. 🔬🔭

Is that...

Dum Bassists?

...or is it...

Dumb Assists?

[rktman]

Would NOT degrade Bassists.

One tipoff among many for me, is that the wealthiest among us are still building the most luxurious, expensive dwellings they can dream up, as very close to the shoreline as zoning will permit. Rising sea levels? Bullhockey!

Great Post!

Case in point. A semi-hysterical pin on Pinterest:

WOW! I'm a mere 4 days. Humans can ruin just about anything huh. Proud human! 😁👍🌞❄ Ignore the 2 feet of snow Steamboat Springs got the past couple of days.

Okay, so the chart legend shows that both red and white is ice- white with no melt , red with melt. Looks like about the same area is still ice, just most of it with some level of melt- on the surface as described by the chart comments.

First blush makes you think Iceland is ice free.... Smoke and mirrors in exchange for science.

Yesterday, there were no clouds overhead, today it was 100% overcast, extreme weather I tell you!

In April, I highlighted the significant ice in Greenland from Polarportal website in a four-page discussion on earth warming. I revisited the site approximately 24 times since to view the dramatic summer melt that exceeded anything observed since 1981. If one integrates the ice buildup since Sep 1 01, 2018 through Aug 20, 2019 one sees a large net loss.

There are problems with what ‘experts’ at NBC are saying about this being a CO2- caused event. Salt water has limited space to accommodate added gases. In fact, the warmer the water the less CO2 that can be accommodated. Global warming works against CO2 adsorption.

Second, since the discussion began one week ago re: purchasing Greenland, we've noted lots of interest in acquiring this mineral rich real estate. Minerals typical form from volcanic action. The world is replete with volcanoes associated with the Ring of Fire and Greenland is ripe as a volcanic site – especially deep sea volcanoes that go undetected yet pump out 2000 oF heat at a tremendous rate.

We know very little about oceans below 15,000 foot depths. The US Navy even lost the USS San Francisco submarine causing $1 billion damage and one seaman's death because lack of sea knowledge at less than 600 ft ocean depth.

Thanks for the input.
