Greenland Still Gaining; UK Resorts To Burning Coal Amid Wind And Solar Fail; Geologist Ian Plimer: “We’re Not Dealing With Science”
Greenland Still Gaining
Following last season’s impressive gains, the Greenland ice sheet is at it again in 2022-23.
Throughout the month of May –a time when the Surface Mass Balance (SMB) readings would normally be trending down as we near the summer melt season– Greenland instead formed an uptrend, punctuated by a string of impressive daily SMB gains — new records for the time of year in Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) books dating back to 1981.
And the gains didn’t stop at the turn of the calendar: June is continuing, and even advancing, the anomaly. Even now, well into the middle of the month, the Greenland ice sheet is still gaining GIGATONS of mass when it should ordinarily be losing:
Below is a closer look at the recent gains which, clear as day, are advancing into uncharted territory:
Eyeing the next figure, these gains have delivered a sharp upswing in the season’s accumulated SMB (blue line) which has now blown through the 1981-2010 mean (grey line). This follows a similarly impressive start to the season (from mid-Sept to mid-Dec, 2022):
These advances are contrary to AGW Party doctrine, and they continue the ice sheet’s overall return to growth (after losing mass from 1996 to 2012).
You won’t hear of this via your propagandizing telescreens, of course.
Such news doesn’t serve The Narrative.
Unalarming glacial data would risk disrupting the intravenous dispensation of fear that TPTB have the masses hooked up on. This, it appears, is all the MSM are tasked with nowadays; that is, the constant administration of fear through manufactured crises. Perhaps this has always been so, only I was too young (or too unborn) to notice. A population perpetually panicked, always looking over their shoulder for the next ‘catastrophe’ threatening to ruin them (ALIENS!) are far easier to keep under the thumb, to own, to control, to rule.
Wake up, already, or sleep forever scared.

UK Resorts To Burning Coal Amid Wind And Solar Fail
In recent days, the UK has been enduring an “extreme heatwave” with temperatures, locally, nudging above 30C (86F).
This absurd designation, however –of “extreme”– has nothing to do with ‘global warming’; rather, it is due to a lowering of the threshold, an intentional stupefying of the public so they believe highs of 30C now warrant an official government “alert”.
To deal with the “furnace” the UK has had no choice but to restart an old coal-fired power plant to meet increasing energy demand. But again, this is less to do with the heat, and more to do with the country’s foolhardy rush into unreliable renewables.
To the chagrin of the country’s crazed alarmists, the National Grid, the country’s electric system operator, authorized the restart of the Ratcliffe power station in Nottinghamshire — as it was also forced to do during a late-spring cold snap.
The plant was due to close in March but was extended for another two years.
“It is a sign of failure that the National Grid is turning to one of the most polluting forms of power generation to deal with a summer heatwave that we know has been made worse because of climate change,” said Ami McCarthy, Greenpeace UK’s political campaigner.
It’s 30 degrees Celsius in mid-June, Ami, you have to get a grip, for your own mental health if nothing else.
Realize, too, that it is your prescribed answer –renewables– that are in a state of crisis, not the climate.
Failing solar panels are partly to blame for the country’s recent energy deficits, with the ageing fleet functioning progressively worse as the years tick by, and, ironically, as temperatures rise with the onset of summer. The main culprit, however, looks to be the UK’s lack of wind required to drive those ‘green’ steel turbine blades around. Another contributing factor is the electricity inter-connectors between the UK and Norway, which had lower capacity due to a technical fault (though Norway has previously said that it will have no trouble cutting Britain off to protect its own decreasing domestic supply).
The World Economic Forum has decreed that renewable energy will supply four-fifths of the world’s electricity by 2050. And if the
WEF says it, then we can assume it shall be so.
But if that occurs, and the issues currently observed in the UK continue and spread globally, then we should expect a calamitous increase in energy disruptions — across borders. This is likely the intention, as power hungry elites, through their groomed politicians and legacy media lapdogs, pursue a dismantling of humanity’s cheap and reliable energy infrastructure in favor of provenly flaky alternatives.
Affordably energy is THE reason humanity lifted itself out of the doldrums of poverty, hunger and disease. To risk it all on the bent of some nonsensical, easily-disproved hypothesis is crazy; it’s pointless, callous, murderous — we should be furious — heads should roll.
Geologist Ian Plimer: “We’re Not Dealing With Science”
An interview with Australian geologist and professor emeritus at the University of Melbourne, Ian Plimer, is doing the social media rounds. Conducted by journalist and skeptic, James Delingpole, topics discussed include the so-called ‘scientific consensus’ on climate change, the corrupt media, and also Australia’s barbaric, authoritarian response to C-19.
“We’ve seen thousands of millions of years of climate change in geology,” states professor Plimer. “And when someone suddenly tries to change the game and say ‘this is all due to humans’, you have to stand up and say, ‘well, what’s the evidence’?”
“Now I’ve been doing that for nearly 30 years, and the evidence has never been supplied.”
“We’re not dealing with science. We never have been. We’ve been dealing with a pressure group that is not concerned about science, not concerned about the environment and not concerned about climate change.”

HI:
At the start of the last two Electroverse I saw “The Social Talks”. Is this your work? It seems to be stuck in there with things on El Nino being a disaster never before seen at temperatures never before seen.
Here is a link to the site:

That appears to be an advert targeted at Electroverse and promoting AGW in a scaremongering campaign as usual. Ad revenue is obviously needed to support the site but having that BS video as the first ad when you are scrolling down and then having it pop out and continue playing as your scroll past it is very irritating. They can’t argue with facts so they try to distract, divert, and subvert the truth.
The June multi gigaton SMB gains on Greenland means there will be “unprecedented” melting in July for the recently recorded era.
The NeoCon owned media will be quite correct with their half truths while they manipulate global markets for unprecedented financial gain.
AGREED. Follow the money on all of this! Very well said.
Remember where you were
when you saw the first diagram of a wind generation plant. I do vividly. It included battery banks for low output periods. Governments around the world hurriedly installed these flawed systems, without batteries, believing they are climate crusaders. CAP you are right about the heads. Keep them heads a rolling. A phantom menace is destroying our world. It is painful to watch. Thank God their days are numbered. I truly believe the GSM is the only thing that can save my home country of America. Strong medicine but it will surly turn the deceived vengeful. The government is promoting a deliberate gaslighting campaign & they are running out of time.
Whales are clearly funded by ‘big oil’. They are protesting against offshore wind farms by going on hunger strikes and gluing themselves to the foreshore.
Early days but it appears Greenpeace may be prepared to sacrifice the whales for offshore wind. Possibly because whales may be transphobic.
Today gas was generating around 15GW of electricity in the UK. Back in February there were days when it was generating over 20GW. Clearly we have enough gas capacity to of met todays electricity demand without firing up a coal station. The reason it had to be done is likely to be a combination of the Government closing our largest gas storage facility in 2018 and power companies not ensuring there would be enough liquid gas deliveries. Presumably this is because they told us so many lies about how wonderful renewables are that they started believing their own lies.
To compound their stupidity the UK sits on Europe’s largest known reserves of shale gas with several companies almost chomping at the bit to start fracking but or pathetic spineless government won’t stand up to the green blob and allow this despite knowing that we’ll be using gas for decades. Even some of their net zero scenarios have us using a lot of gas with carbon capture and storage for electricity generation and/or hydrogen production in 2050 and presumably well beyond. Shower of shit or clusterfuck doesn’t even come close to describing them.
British ‘pride’ doesn’t allow it, but I think they’re taking advantage of the ‘catastrophic’ Hot season, as an excuse to ‘protect’ themselves from the heat, but it’s a reason to keep coal plants running continuously to survive the next winter .
If 86°F is hot than the temps in the early 90’s here in KY were…HELL!
We registered 108°F in the shade. And now it’s damn near an Ice Age here.

The sun is shining but not warm
Weather with Tatyana Pozdnyakova (Meteon news)
The day of June 17 turned out to be cold in Pevek, in the north of Chukotka. Although the sun did not hide behind the horizon, by 15:00 local time the air warmed up only to +4 degrees. The north wind in the rear of a vast cyclonic region supplied the region with icy arctic air. On the capes of the Chukotka Peninsula, the air temperature in the morning was negative, down to -0.8 degrees. On a polar day, at a latitude of 69 degrees, the sun shines, but heats weakly.

The weather forecast there doesn’t see much heat.
The biggest problem with the climate sceptics is they totally support the “Back Radiative Atmospheric Greenhouse Effect” and attacked anyone who diverged from their position.
So they were seen as supporting everything climate and they destroyed any chance of dumping this junk science.
I do not support Roy Spencer because of this very issue – years ago I was discussing the ridiculous “steel greenhouse” nonsense on WUWT and entered into an email correspondence with him.
He sent me a “proof” of this BS in the form of a spreadsheet ! I analysed his work and discovered that several of his formulae were not even dimensionally accurate.
By this I mean that if you take every term in an equation and write down the units – such as W per sq metre for example – and work through the whole equation the terms must equate on both sides of the “equality”. His didn’t and I could only conclude he deliberately set out to mislead to support his ludicrous assertion.
besides that who in their right mind believes satellites can measure Earth’s temperature to one hundredth of a degree accuracy ??
Come on !
America’s not warming according to NOAA data just released
