Sea ice grows. What do alarmists say now?

[nero_bolt]

If vanishing sea ice was evidence of global warming, what does increasing ice mean? Can’t wait to hear the scaremongers explain this away:

ANTARCTIC sea ice has expanded to record levels for April, increasing by more than 110,000sq km a day last month to nine million square kilometres.

The National Snow and Ice Data Centre said .... “This exceeds the past record for the satellite era by about 320,000sq km, which was set in April 2008,...”

Increased ice cover in Antarctic continues to be at odds with falling Arctic ice levels, where the summer melt has again pushed levels well below the average extent for 1981-2010… [But] the April Arctic minimum was 270,000sq km higher than the record April low, which occurred in 2007.

Together, that leaves us with above-average sea ice:

ummm MM is not posting psuedo -science as you put it. that is the domain of your lot .. the cherry pickers and graph- trimmers  who manipulate the data (badly) to achieve a imaginary result.  remember roys words now  ''I think creationism more likely '' (i've abandoned science for religious expediency ) that discredits and taints everything he has to say on the topic.

I'm waiting for the Rev.Roy to explain the Great Flood,Lazarus re-animation and how a man can walk on water,strictly from a scientific viewpoint of course...lol...giggle.

New argument from climate change deniers: global warming is a good thing

Facing overwhelming evidence of climate change, some deniers argue global warming could be a business opportunity

Setting the record straight on misleading claims against Michael Mann

February 2014  Climate Science watch

Looking at the bigger picture: The obsession among contrarians and denialists with trying to overthrow climate science by discrediting seminal early paleoclimate research by Mann and his colleagues in the 1990s is about politics, not science. Paleoclimate research has continued to advance during the past 15 years. Mann and numerous other researchers have continued to add to the peer-reviewed scientific literature, and here's where things stand as of the IPCC's Fifth Assessment

Report, issued last year:

For average annual [Northern Hemisphere] temperatures, the period 1983–2012 was very likely the warmest 30-year period of the last 800 years (high confidence) and likely the warmest 30-year period of the last 1400 years (medium confidence). This is supported by comparison of instrumental temperatures with multiple reconstructions from a variety of proxy data and statistical methods, and is consistent with AR4.

--IPCC AR5, Working Group I, Paleoclimate chapter, p. 386

The critics of the original 'hockey stick graph' might want to spend some time looking at the actual advance of scientific understanding in this area of research -- which is just one piece of the complex mountain of research on human-caused climate change.

The Lewis Powell Memo - Corporate Blueprint to Dominate Democracy

Blogpost by Charlie Cray - August 23, 2011 

Greenpeace has the full text of the Lewis Powell Memo available for review, as well as analyses of how Lewis Powell's suggestions have impacted the realms of politics, judicial law, communications and education.

Forty years ago today, on August 23, 1971, Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr., an attorney from Richmond, Virginia, drafted a confidential memorandum for the U.S. Chamber of Commercethat describes a strategy for the corporate takeover of the dominant public institutions of American society. 

Powell and his friend Eugene Sydnor, then-chairman of the Chamber’s education committee, believed the Chamber had to transform itself from a passive business group into a powerful political force capable of taking on what Powell described as

a major ongoing “attack on the American free enterprise system.” 

An astute observer of the business community and broader social trends, Powell was a former president of the American Bar Association and a board member of tobacco giant Philip Morris and other companies. In his memo, he detailed a series of possible “avenues of action” that the Chamber and the broader business community should take in response to fierce criticism in the media, campus-based protests, and new consumer and environmental laws.
