Sea ice grows. What do alarmists say now?

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:

Sea ice grows. What do alarmists say now?

Quote by Jim Sibbison, former public relations official for the Environmental Protection Agency:

 

 "We routinely wrote scare stories...Our press reports were more or less true.

 

........We were out to whip the public into a frenzy about the environment."

Sea ice grows. What do alarmists say now?

Quote by Al Gore, former U.S. vice president, and large CO2 producer:

 

 "I believe it is appropriate to have an over-representation of factual presentations on how dangerous it is, as a predicate for opening

 

up the audience to listen to what the solutions are, and how hopeful it is that we are going to solve this crisis."

Sea ice grows. What do alarmists say now?

Quote from Monika Kopacz, atmospheric scientist: 

 

"It is no secret that a lot of climate-change research is subject to opinion, that climate models sometimes disagree even on the signs

 

of the future changes (e.g. drier vs. wetter future climate). The problem is, only sensational exaggeration makes the kind of story that

 

will get politicians’ — and readers’ — attention. So, yes, climate scientists might exaggerate, but in today’s world, this is the only way

 

to assure any political action and thus more federal financing to reduce the scientific uncertainty."

The idea that any of the weather we are seeing is in any significant way due to humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions

 

verges on irrationality."Dr Roy Spencer

Quote by Stephen Schneider, Stanford Univ., environmentalist:

 

 "That, of course, entails getting loads of media coverage. So we have to offer up scary scenarios, make simplified, dramatic

 

 

statements, and make little mention of any doubts we might have."

Lennart Bengtsson "I have always been sort of a climate sceptic. I do not consider this in any way as negative but in fact as a natural attitude for a scientist"

 

 

Don't you understand  Lennart Bengtsson's stance hasn't changed?
