Predictably, all too predictably, the fear mongering critters who are shouting about climate change and climate change’s alarms pounced on the reports of the breaking away of a sizeable piece of the ice shelf from the Antarctic during the final week of March 2008.
These fear mongering alarmist have, needless to say, completely ignored the fact that even with the breaking-off, the Antarctic ice shelf is still 50% larger than it was at this same time one year ago. The media messiah marionettes do not report on the volcanic and seismic activity that is part of the Antarctic region, either.
They subscribe to the concept of, “Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.” For them, a good story is one that inflicts feelings of terror and horror and inspires people to do insipid things in their fear; things like give the government ever more power, keep third-world people under by not permitting them to modernize, and do their best to wreck economies.
As more and more scientists and thoughtful writers, slowly but surely, are making clear, climate change science is a far cry from “settled”, with the still predominating take that human industrial activity is sending up carbon dioxide into the troposphere at such rapid rates and large volumes that CO2, once floating there, absorbs and holds infrared radiation that would escape the Earth and therefore is heating the Earth and heating it at such a pace and to such an extent that, well, we’re all gonna die receiving stab wound after stab wound.
But this man-made delusion is a gargantuan beast, a monster with many tentacles that regenerate hydra-like. Cooler heads have to prevail and take stab after stab after stab to slay the slouching, rough beast that lusts to eat up mankind and devour civilization and our future.
Joseph D’Aleo, CCM, over at ICECAP.us, writes, “Let’s put this in perspective. The account may be misinterpreted by some as the ice cap or a significant (vast) portion is collapsing. In reality it and all the former shelves that collapsed are small and most near the Antarctic peninsula which sticks well out from Antarctica into the currents and winds of the South Atlantic and lies in a tectonically active region with surface and subsurface active volcanic activity. The vast continent has actually cooled since 1979.”
All you horror novelists masquerading as journalists, all you politicians masquerading as scientifically literate, standing over there to my left…did you hear that?
