Antarctic sea ice set another record this past week, with the
most amount of ice ever recorded on day 256 of the calendar
year (September 12 of this leap year). Please, nobody tell the
mainstream media or they might have to retract some stories
and admit they are misrepresenting scientific data.

National Public Radio (NPR) published an article
on its website last month claiming, “Ten years ago, a piece of
ice the size of Rhode Island disintegrated and melted in the
waters off Antarctica.

Two other massive ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula had
suffered similar fates a few years before. The events became
poster children for the effects of global warming. … There’s
no question that unusually warm air triggered the final
demise of these huge chunks of ice.”


NPR failed to mention anywhere in its article that Antarctic
sea ice has been growing since satellites first began
measuring the ice 33 years ago and the sea ice has
been above the 33-year average throughout 2012. Indeed,
none of the mainstream media are covering this important
story. A Google News search of the terms Antarctic, sea
ice and record turns up not a single article on the Antarctic
sea ice record. Amusingly, page after page of Google News
results for Antarctic sea ice record show links to news
articles breathlessly spreading fear and warning of
calamity because Arctic sea ice recently set a 33-year low.
Sea ice around one pole is shrinking while sea ice around
another pole is growing.

This sure sounds like a global warming crisis to me.

Back in the 70's, the scare was the "Coming Ice Age".
I suppose if algore was in the venture capital industry then,
he'd have been shilling for that.

'Fears of a coming ice age, showed up in peer-reviewed literature,
at scientific conferences, by prominent scientists and throughout the
media'

Despite many claims to the contrary, the 1970's global cooling fears
were widespread among many scientists and in the media. Despite
the fact that there was no UN IPCC organization created to promote
global cooling in the 1970s and despite the fact that there was nowhere
near the tens of billions of dollars in funding spent today to promote
man-made global warming, fears of a coming ice age, showed up
in peer-reviewed literature, at scientific conferences, voiced by
prominent scientists and throughout the media.


Newsweek Magazine even used the climate “tipping point” argument
in 1975. Newsweek wrote April 28, 1975 article: "The longer the planners
delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change
once the results become grim reality."
