I didn't put this in environment for a reason. It's because this IS about politics. This entire Global Warming MYTH is about politics. It is about extorting tax dollars, research dollars and just dollars in general from the West for the "crime" of capitalism.
They never go after communist or leftist countries, even though they are bigger polluters. I realized this whole thing was a scam in the 80s when they kept coming after the United States, despite the fact, the Soviet Union record on pollution was on a scale that was immensely worse.
Don't believe me. One word: CHERNOBYL!
When Three Mile Island happened, there was some steam that escaped.; No nuclear energy ever escaped from Three Mile Island, because of the safety precautions there.
By comparison Chernobyl released (the figure I saw quoted in a documentary) the nuclear energy of 400 Hiroshima bombs. It was almost 30 years ago and STILL people cannot return to that area. The ground is so polluted you have to wear masks and hazmat to return to see the area.
Why? Because Chernobyl had no safety measures like the United States had. The leaders in Moscow didn't care if it went up. They were safe in Moscow. Besides it was cheaper to make it without the safety measures.
Yet, the MYTH of global warm persists because the Communism failed and this is all leftists have left to attack capitalism with. Their dream that communism would bury capitalism and all the world would become communist is dead. This is all they have left. So they cling to it despite how obvious it is, it's a lie.
That's why they faked data. That's why they faked the hockey stick graph. That's why Obama is threatening to go to EXECUTIVE ORDERS to force a bunch of global warming lies on us. It's not about saving any environment. It's about punishing the US for their capitalist success and destroying the dream of a lefist utopia forever.
The speech by former US Vice-President Al Gore was apocalyptic. ‘The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff,’ he said. ‘It could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now.’
Those comments came in 2007 as Mr Gore accepted the Nobel Peace Prize for his campaigning on climate change.
But seven years after his warning, The Mail on Sunday can reveal that, far from vanishing, the Arctic ice cap has expanded for the second year in succession – with a surge, depending on how you measure it, of between 43 and 63 per cent since 2012.
To put it another way, an area the size of Alaska, America’s biggest state, was open water two years ago, but is again now covered by ice.
The most widely used measurements of Arctic ice extent are the daily satellite readings issued by the US National Snow and Ice Data Center, which is co-funded by Nasa. These reveal that – while the long-term trend still shows a decline – last Monday, August 25, the area of the Arctic Ocean with at least 15 per cent ice cover was 5.62 million square kilometres.
This was the highest level recorded on that date since 2006 (see graph, right), and represents an increase of 1.71 million square kilometres over the past two years – an impressive 43 per cent.
Other figures from the Danish Meteorological Institute suggest that the growth has been even more dramatic. Using a different measure, the area with at least 30 per cent ice cover, these reveal a 63 per cent rise – from 2.7 million to 4.4 million square kilometres.
The satellite images published here are taken from a further authoritative source, the University of Illinois’s Cryosphere project.
