That was about a dude who put a message in a bottle on the site decades ago when we know the earth was cooler and there was more ice. He put it at the edge of a glacier and it receded (or something like that). You and most believers who read these stories then make a HUGE assumption that it will continue unabated due to CO2. No evidence.Funny. I was listening to NPR today and a story came on about an archaeologist in Northern Canada/Alaska. Her work is being effected because the sea ice is breaking up earlier and earlier every year, exposing shorelines to large waves and storm surges which washes away the bones/pottery/etc.. from the campsites she excavates. Other sites in the region are also being effected because the permafrost is starting to melt. Where sites could be preserved in the permafrost for many thousands of years, once the frost melts, items begin to decompose.
The facts are..sea ice fluctuates quite a bit and expands and contracts in different places all the time...including the guys that got trapped. Just because they got trapped following a route from a hundred years ago that was free of ice, doesn't mean much at all about global climate change...as it would imply cooling and more ice. Ice has definitely shrunk due to warming (that can be explained almost entire by solar forcing) and ocean temps were warming but stopped. Sea ice has nearly doubled this year from last and some scientists are projecting the same trend again next year. If that were to happen again (a doubling), then the sea ice levels would return roughly to levels seen in the early 1980s. My guess is it will increase but not double.
The difficulty in accurately measuring total sea ice highlights the problem with measuring ANYTHING related to global climate change needed for the models and highlights how easy it is to fake for the climate believers who have invested their careers, lives...and total income...on the theory. It's absolutely 100% scientifically impossible to measure sea ice to the degree of precision needed to predict a 0.6 degree change in temperature by the end of the century due to changes in CO2. Same for ocean temps, cloud cover, atmospheric temps, etc.....even the overall earth temp itself or CO2 levels. The predicted change is within experimental error...and therefore statistically meaningless. If they measured ice where the people are trapped it would imply greater ice. If they measure it elsewhere like near that glacier, it would imply less ice. Which is correct? They have to model ice changes first, then put that data into their overall climate model.
I do find the latest theory to hit the stands funny. The tiny change in CO2 will thin clouds and lead to massive temp change? LOL. I've been wondering how they would attack the cosmic ray issue...and that's a doosey.
