Christopher Booker, Telegraph
Two events last week brought yet further twists to one of the longest-running farces of our modern world.
One was the revelation by the European Space Agency that in 2013 and
2014, after years when the volume of Arctic ice had been diminishing, it
increased again by as much as 33 per cent. The other was that Canadian
scientists studying the effect of climate change on Arctic ice from an
icebreaker had to suspend their research, when their vessel was called
to the aid of other ships trapped in the thickest summer ice seen in
Hudson Bay for 20 years. ..........
Of course, the reason why they have all wanted the ice at the poles
to melt, not least on the land in Antarctica and Greenland, is that this
would bring about their ultimate scare scenario: those sea levels
rising by as much as 20 feet, which, as Al Gore showed in his
Oscar-winning film An Inconvenient Truth, would flood New York, Shanghai
and many of the world’s most populous cities.
But, alas, it
just isn’t happening. In recent years there has been more polar ice in
the world than at any time since satellite records began in 1979. In the
very year they had forecast that the Arctic would be “ice free”, its
thickness increased by a third. Polar bear numbers are rising, not
falling. Temperatures in Greenland have shown no increase for decades.
The greatest scare story of all simply isn’t turning out as their
computer models predicted. And no one has been more dangerously taken in
by this silly scare story than the warmists themselves."
