How do climate doomsayers explain the current state of Arctic ice?
By Vijay Jayaraj
With ice coverage for July and August remaining above the ten-year average of 2010–20, the extent of summer sea ice in the Arctic has surprised experts who once predicted that such levels would be impossible.
This stands in stark contrast to the dominant climate narrative that predicts the dwindling of summer ice in the Arctic. Some politicians had even claimed that parts of the Arctic would be ice-free by now.
With the seasonal Arctic melt technically over, it is fair to conclude that the extent of ice in the summer of 2022 has been greater than the ten-year average. On most days in July and August, sea ice levels were above the ten-year average and significantly more than the previous few years.
The Japanese National Institute of Polar Research provides a useful visualization in the graph below. This year's Arctic sea ice — shown in red — is compared with the ten-year average and the levels of the previous few years, including that of 2012, when ice had reached its lowest of the period tracked.

According to the Danish Meteorological Institute, the extent of Arctic sea ice was much greater than the last five years, as shown in the below graph.

Summer temperatures in the Arctic remained at levels similar to the 44-year average of 1958–2002, with no marked increase in warming. In the graph, temperature is shown in the Kelvin scale; the horizontal blue line is freezing, or zero degrees Celsius and 32 degrees Fahrenheit.

Now, here's the big question: why were internationally acclaimed climate scientists unable to predict this marked increase in the extent of summer sea ice? Is it because their overall approach is biased toward supporting the theory that carbon dioxide is warming the planet to dangerous levels? Or is it because their models are incapable of predicting future temperatures?
The answers must come from the doomsayers themselves. They need to explain why Arctic summer temperatures have been not at all different from the 44-year average and why summer sea ice is above decadal averages.
Acknowledging that we have yet to understand the complex climate system will undermine the credibility of scientists and political institutions advancing destructive energy policies to address a fantasy of climate catastrophe.
Melting of Arctic ice has been used as a major data point in the justification of restrictive energy policies adopted by many countries. It is ironic — and infuriating — that millions across the world are suffering from high energy prices and blackouts at the same time that Arctic sea ice has been at its greatest extent in five years!
Europe is facing rapidly rising electricity prices and a natural gas shortage. Citizens in the U.S. are experiencing high energy prices as their access to cheap fossil fuels is restricted by government's infatuation with solar and wind power. China is scampering to reduce blackouts. All this could have been avoided if political leaders had not promoted a false climate emergency.
It makes no sense to force people to live in darkness in the name of climate policy when the policy-makers themselves have so little understanding of the planet's mechanisms of warming and cooling. Acknowledge the infancy of climate science and liberate people from energy tyranny.

Judge issues permanent injunction on Biden ban on new oil and gas leasing on federal lands, waters
"A federal judge sided with Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and 12 other plaintiff states in a Louisiana-led lawsuit, issuing a permanent injunction against the Biden administration’s moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal lands and water.
U.S. District Court Judge Terry Doughty issued the permanent injunction, declaring that the president exceeded his authority when halting oil and gas leasing and drilling permits."

You believe Trump won the 2020 election and we're supposed to take things you post seriously?
BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

You'd have to be a complete asshole and idiot both to not recognize that human-caused global warming is destroying the earth.
We're blaming fossil fuels because that's the direct cause. It wouldn't be, however, if we didn't over-procreate ourselves into hell.
If we had, say, two billion people, a number that the earth could sustain, we'd still all be able to enjoy a decent standard of living.
Instead, we let just anybody fuck like rabbits without contraception, and now we've got seven billion+ people.
And there are fucktards who don't want to abort even the obvious mistakes.
This planet can't afford seven billion humans decent standard of living, and soon, NOBODY is going to have one.
Live for today. Just stop procreating, because there is no tomorrow. Babies born now are condemned to hell.
It should be fucking obvious.

Wrong, it's just the opposite you triggered loon. You'd have to be a complete asshole and idiot both to believe that humans cause global warming and it's destroying the earth.
Wrong, you're blaming fossil fuels because you're idiots.
What's the source to that moronic claim dipshit? Did you know that humans only occupy 3% of the planet dipshit? Did you know that there have been numerous earth events that resulted in ice ages and subsequent warming long before man invented the gas engine?
Of course not. Because if you had, you wouldn't bloviate this laughably inane bullshit.
What can one say to this shrill, triggered and asinine dogma but.....WOW!
Source of this bullshit triggered dumbass?
Again, just WOW!!
