How did that arctic ice melt thing go this summer?

Question

Why did the alarmists lie about the so-called melting ice cap?

Answer 1

When ice cover doesn't support their thesis, they'll change the terms of the debate to ice thickness and volume.    Not that there isn't logic to that - it's just that they've been crowing about ice cover for the whole time that ice cover supported their thesis.

Answer 2

For starters the melt won't stop until September, so the correct question would be "how is that arctic sea ice melt going so far this summer?".

The answer is that it will probably be the second largest melt of arctic sea ice in recorded history.  Probably not quite as much as last year, which shattered the previous record, but probably pretty close.

By the way, I would suggest that you don't get your scientific information from the media.  Especially not media sources with clear political bias.

Answer 3

Alarmists get exited about concepts that fit their political views, skeptics demand cross checked and verified proof before they move. Just like with doctors or mechanics, get at least 3 separate opinions before you spend your money. Especially if the first couple of opinions do not seem to consider all the available evidence.

Answer 4

If alarmists were honest, there wouldn't be much to be alarmed about.  What fun would that be?

Answer 5
