I started this thread over six years ago knowing that AGW was a farce and that things were actually cooling. Since then the AGW crowd has become the CC crowd because of the lack of warming. Here is an article I missed last summer confirming my knowledge.

I love bringing up alarmists failures...

Why Arctic sea ice will vanish in 2013 | Sierra Club Canada

"Humans have benefited greatly from a stable climate for the last 11,000 years (roughly 400 human generations). Not anymore. We now face an angry climate -- one that we have poked in the eye with our fossil fuel stick -- and have to deal with the consequences.
We must set aside our differences and prepare for what we can no longer avoid: massive disruption to our civilization."



"I really hope I’m wrong folks but I just don’t see it any other way. Time will tell…but, in any event, we need to have that ‘adult discussion’ ASAP. As you can see around you the times they are a-changin’ and, as I wrote in my last blog, oil profits won’t protect you from Climate 2.0."


Yup... you were wrong... and I don't even have a PHd and could have told you that you were going to be.

Hmm, looks like a lot of ice...or maybe not:


Have a look at daily data:


Definitely not a lot of ice. For the last month it's been skirting, and even below the 95% range of the long term average.

Meanwhile at the other end of the world...



See the date in the bottom right hand corner? Normally people use the word 'meanwhile' to mean in the intervening time, not the past. The Antarctic just reached it's minima for the season.

Suffice it to say, the image Locutus posted isn't really terribly out of line with what has been happening in the Arctic, hence why I posted those graphs of Arctic sea ice extent.

But more interestingly, what do you think of what's happening at the South Pole? The growth of the sea ice is associated with surface warming of Antarctic waters. But you don't have to take my word for it, read skeptical scientist Judith Curry's results on the matter:
http://www.pnas.org/content/107/34/14987.full.pdf
The observed sea surface temperature in the Southern Ocean shows a substantial warming trend for the second half of the 20th century. Associated with the warming, there has been an enhanced atmospheric hydrological cycle in the Southern Ocean that results in an increase of the Antarctic sea ice for the past three decades through the reduced upward ocean heat transport and increased snowfall.​
Curry is a Mark Steyn supporter by the way, in case you think she's part of your big banking conspiracy.

Think the past winter was bad? Get ready for mini Ice Age

Scientific speculation is intensifying that a new mini Ice Age is looming.

The last mini Ice Age struck the northern hemisphere about A.D. 1450 and lasted 400 years. It was dubbed the "Little Ice Age." In Canada, it had a huge impact on everything from crop yields to changing ecosystems.

"The Little Ice Age decreased the number of frost-free days and altered the composition of forests," report York University geographers Celina and Ian Campbell.

It was brought on by a seemingly minuscule average cooling of one to two degrees Celsius, climatologists report. But its impact was huge. Historians called it the "General Crisis" owing to its enormous impact: Crop harvests declined "disastrously."

Recent meteorological and other developments have prompted some researchers to predict another mini Ice Age is likely starting to take shape.

According to Habibulla Abdusamatov, an astrophysicist with the Russian Academy of Science, the northern hemisphere has been cooling since the 1990s and 2014 sets the stage for a full mini Ice Age by 2055.

According to the National Oceanic Centre, the North Atlantic is cooling rapidly because the northward circulation of warm, subtropical waters has declined sharply, impacting on the Atlantic Ocean circulation system.

yes, 'speculation', but we sure as hell ain't warming.

.Damn that magnetosphere and it's current altering current.

The Antarctic ice increase doesn't have the same punch it used to now that the Thwaites glacier is on its way to collapse, with the WAIS not far behind it.
