Dumbest article of the week
One of the dumbest articles ever is out there this week by the Associated Press and others saying that the Arctic icecaps are melting because humans drive their cars.
I wonder if the reporters ever have questions why the icecaps sometimes thicken, since people keep driving? Do they ever wonder why the Antarctic ice isn’t melting since the experts say CO2 causes warming? Why doesn’t ice melt everywhere? Do they wonder why the Earth was estimated to be a few degrees warmer 1,000 years ago? What caused the warming then, since it wasn’t fossil fuels?
In the 1920’s the fear mongers were saying exactly what they are today and yet the Earth cooled and the ice came back. The Earth cooled so much from 1945 to 1976 that the “experts” started scaring the people about a coming ice age. Then they switched again to the threat of warming. It is all garbage.
The following was in a Washington Post article by the Associated Press on November 22, 1922, almost 100 years ago:
The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot.
Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard of temperatures in the Arctic Zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.
Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed that the Gulf Stream was very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.
Very few seals and no white fish are found in the Eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring have never ventured so far north in the old seal hunting ground. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.
Indoctrination and junk science are truly dangerous to people’s freedoms. Government wants more power and the fact that the media just repeats the talking points aimed at that end, instead of doing any actual investigative reporting, makes them worthless.
Who determined what the temperature and sea level should be since they have always changed? Isn’t it true arrogance for politicians to believe they can set policies that can control temperatures and sea levels hundreds of years out? President Obama and Hillary can’t even figure out how to comply with simple national security laws but yet they say they can control temperatures. Amazing! What is more amazing is that reporters believe them.
Taking trillions of dollars from the public to give to the ever powerful and greedy government truly harms the poor and middle class throughout the world, people the Democrats, the media and Hollywood pretend to care about. We should never destroy industries and products that have greatly improved the quality and length of life for everyone based on inaccurate, manipulated computer models.
