In our never-ending series of debunking climate lies, here is a big one. All the ice everywhere in the world is melting leading to catastrophic ocean level rise. Most of the ice is in Antarctica and on Greenland and other parts of the Arctic. In neither area is there any substantial ice loss. In fact this recent piece of research shows that ice has actually increased in Antarctica. Won’t read about it in the mainstream media, too busy pimping terror about routine calving of Antarctica’s ocean ice shelves. But the truth is that, as been the case for thousands of years, some parts of Antarctica lose ice and some gain ice. These researchers found that from 2009 to 2019, Antarctica gained over 5000 square kilometers of ice, and over 660 gigatons of ice mass. So if someone tells you we are doomed by a catastrophic sea level rise, tell them that is pure BS. (EGU Study)
Help, I’m Melting, I’m Melting…..Not

Way back in late 1980s, when Lotus 1-2-3 was the leading spreadsheet program, I was hearing stories from “scientists” about disappearing ice which would lead to all sorts of catastrophes. I contact some college in Illinois (Northwestern or Univ. of Ill.) which collected all ice data for the world, and asked them for the data. Surprisingly, they sent it. I ran it through Lotus 1-2-3 in every statistical form I knew (and others that I learned just for that exercise) and it always came back saying there had been zero change in total ice. In years with more or less ice in one locale, there was an equivalent change in the other direction somewhere else. In other words, the “scientist’s” claims were BS. Digging deeper I found the ones making the gloomy forecasts received bigger grants than others. At that point I lost interest in the project and climate “science” in general. It’s all a scam.
