Why will she not obey our theories?
The world’s greatest snow-capped peaks, which run in a chain from the Himalayas to Tian Shan on the border of China and Kyrgyzstan, have lost no ice over the last decade, new research shows.
The discovery has stunned scientists, who had believed that around 50bn tonnes of meltwater were being shed each year and not being replaced by new snowfall.
Unexpectedly!
Of course, they have to maintain the politically correct line:
“The new data does not mean that concerns about climate change are overblown in any way. It means there is a much larger uncertainty in high mountain Asia than we thought.
Yes. Now consider what else you don’t know that you thought you did. And yes, let’s spend trillions now to prevent the ocean from rising by one meter a century from now. Because that makes perfect economic sense.
Do you do stand-up comedy? If not, I think you’re missing out on a great second income. Which you may need in the future.
Yea it is funny considering that if the last 8 years HAD been warming they would be saying just the opposite, “See the last 8 years are warmer than ever before which spells DOOM for the next 100…”
There was a story someplace about sea levels dropping by 1cm recently. This makes the dire warnings of sustained 1mm a year increases less scary but also shows there is an ebb and flow of such things.
I can’t understand people trying to impose draconian green policies based on changes of a mm or .005 degrees that fall well within natural variations or statistical background noise. Oh, I guess I understand them trying but not people letting them get away with it.
