"So as you may have heard, NASA just released satellite data showing that — contrary to the official narrative — Antarctic ice is not only growing, but has been growing rapidly and consistently as long as anyone can discern.
At a rate of 112 billion tons of ice per year net.
That rate of growth slowed down briefly last decade and then picked back up.
And all this new ice is canceling out virtually all hypothesized sea-level increase.
You would think this would be cause for rejoicing among those most concerned about the effect on our planet of Global Warming (now rebranded “Climate Change”).
But in fact, it is not.
Quite the opposite: it has been a cause for great consternation and a lot of, er, denial.
Which brings me to this.In all seriousness: if Global Warming is going to doom us all, why aren’t its proponents celebrating at this news, regardless of its political implications?
Wouldn’t that thrill them, if they weren’t more bought into silencing all political opposition than into pursuing science and “following the truth wherever it leads”?
This has always been my issue with the whole thing.
Is the Earth warming?
Are people responsible?
Will we all die horribly if we own an SUV?
How can I possibly know these things?
But I do know that the people I see promoting these ideas — and claiming to worship at the altar of science — seem a lot more like worshipers and a lot less like scientists.
And they demand the same political solutions (and grant money) they demanded when they were promoting a “new ice age” (for those of you too young to remember).
Oh, one other thing.
About that “we’re all going to die” part..."
