No, Antarctic Ice Isn’t Melting Into Oblivion
The mockingbird MSM recently ran copy-&-paste stories claiming that Antarctic’s ice sheet is headed for collapse.
Melting Antarctic ice was reported to be causing a dramatic slowdown in deep ocean currents, which “could have a disastrous effect on the climate”, parroted the world’s propagandizing and wolf-crying media.
But alas, facts are a happy accident wherever the likes of the BBC are concerned, the circulation of fear is their modus operandi and they’ll use any old junk science in order to press it onto a dutiful yet increasingly tired and crisis-weary public.
The latest legacy media fear-drive states that the less dense fresh water from the melting ice cap will interrupt the downwards movement of water towards the sea bottom which, in turn, will affect world oceanic currents. The activist-science blog the Conversation reported that “torrents of Antarctic meltwater are slowing the currents that drive our vital ocean ‘overturning’ – and threaten its collapse”. While the BBC themselves, clearly unsaddled by the burden of credibility, which was lost many moons ago, referred their intellectually undemanding readers to the movie The Day After Tomorrow — go science!
Worst still, this latest round of circle-drumming drivel is based on nothing but modeling — 35 million computer hours of modeling, no less, based on the IPCC’s “high emissions” scenario. But as recently reviewed by Dr. Judith Curry, this worst-case scenario has been dropped in many scientific circles on the grounds it is recognized as implausible –with global warming of barely 0.1C over the last two decades likely a factor in this rug-sweeping– yet still, Dr. Curry notes that extreme prophesies based on this scenario still routinely do the MSM rounds, and even remain in IPCC pages. “Rejecting these extreme scenarios has rendered obsolete much of the climate literature and assessments of the last decade,” points out Dr. Curry.
“Our modelling shows that if global carbon emissions continue at the current rate, then the Antarctica overturning will slow by more than 40% in the next 30 years,” said lead author of the study, Prof Matthew England of Sydney’s University of NSW — and there’s the crux: CO2 emissions, i.e. human prosperity.
The elite want us poor and powerless, they want ‘feudalism 2’, and the best way to achieve this is via the eradication of cheap and reliable energy — the backbone of human prosperity. But something big was needed in order for the global population to accept such an overhaul, a powerful dogma that would see us proles walk ourselves into the gas chamber: “the end of the world”.
We saw the exact same principle play out with COVID and the ‘vaccines’ — our cure will be your savoir, they said.
Returning to Antarctic, the continent’s ice sheet was “close to balance” during the period 2012-16 , according to research conducted by NASA satellite ice-mapping scientists, and after extending their studies back to 1992, the researchers found large total gains for the sheet.
As regularly exposed on Electroverse, the data unequivocally point to a cooling Antarctica, which has AGW Party ‘scientists’ scrambling for ‘acceptable’ answers. Study after study supports this contention, this fact — as do the continent’s irrefutable thermometer readings.
The South Pole suffered its coldest-ever coreless winter in 2021 (April-Sept), and has posted anomalously cold months ever since. These include Nov 2022’s -40.4C (-40.7F)–coldest since 1987; Dec 2022’s -29.1C (-20.4F)–coldest since 2006; Jan 2023’s -31.3C (-24.3F)–coldest since 1995; Feb 2023’s -41.1C (-42F)–which is -0.7C below the norm. And with an overall reading of -35.6C/-32.1F, this made it the second coldest Nov – Feb on record (after 1999-2000’s -36.6C/-33.9F))
As Stefano Di Battista recently asked on Twitter: “Singularity or new climatic phase?”.
If the world’s propagandizing ‘news’ outlets insist on reporting that Antarctica sea ice is melting in oblivion–which NASA reveals it most certainly isn’t–then they need to come up with a new mechanism to support it, because temperatures, clearly, are playing no part.
Perhaps the BBC could look into the myriad of submarine volcanoes stirring under the polar ice; that is, if it, a propagandizing arm of the WEF et al., can overcome its endemic lack of curiosity.
Shiveluch Erupts (Again)
As a lot of you are aware, Russia’s Sheveluch volcano erupted to 52,000 feet on April 10, sending ash into the stratosphere and therefor exerting a cooling affect on the planet.
Very heavy ashfall was noted in the surrounding regions soon after the eruption — the largest ashfall in 60 years hit the city of Klyuchi, according to the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (IVS), where power outages and polluted drinking water in the city have been reported, and all businesses/schools have been closed with residents urged not to leave their homes.
Since the initial blow-off, a continuation of strong explosive activity has been reported by the Kamchatkan Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT). This includes a pop to 40,000 feet on April 11, a separate 33,000 footer on April 11, and another 28,000 feet eruption today, April 12.
The volcano has gone “full eruption mode,” tweeted the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Elsewhere, explosive activity is increasing at Popocatepetl Volcano in Mexico, too.
In the statement made by the Mexican National Center for Disaster Prevention (CENAPRED), 12 new eruptions took place at Popocatepetl over the past 24 hours alone, with 199 gas and ash outputs recorded during that time.
This makes for 308 eruptions so far this year — a stark increase to the 113 noted in all of 2022.
Volcanic eruptions are one of the key climatic forcings driving Earth into its next bout of global cooling.
They have been shown to increase in both number and explosivity during times of prolonged solar decline–thought to be tied to an influx of cosmic rays (CRs) penetrating and exciting silica-rich magma. In short, during solar minimums the Sun’s magnetic field weakens and the outward pressure of the solar wind decreases. This allows more CRs to enter the inner solar system, including our own planet’s atmosphere.

Our future is cold
Yep. More ash/dust up HIGH that blocks the Sun and if it continues and even accelerates will cause a near close Ice Age…get ready.
“Most experts believe a volcano is active if it has erupted in the last 10,000 years. This is the definition used by the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program. As of March 2021, 1,350 active volcanoes that have erupted during the Holocene Epoch are recognized by the Program.”
A search says undersea volcanos are estimated to be a million or so.
Multiple hypothesis is fundamental science. Wheels within wheels can create peaks and troughs as one wheel lessens relatively short term effects and another wheel takes momentary dominance.
There has been considerable research on geothermal activity under the Antarctic Ice Sheet contributing to melting of the ‘sheet and Antarctic Ice Shelves.
This recent article by Ian Wishart references some of that geothermal science. Scroll down to find the article.

A second contribution to the recent reduction in Antartica Ice Shelf area is anomalous weather. Anomalous weather is normal. IT’S NORMAL.
I have recently made comments that the Southern Ocean winds, the roaring, furious and screaming ones, had at last resumed their near continuous unbroken stream around the Southern Ocean.
Well, that was until this mornin’. Check this out. Bloody weather!

For you dyslexic ones in the Northern Hemisphere a reminder of the coriander effect. Southern hemisphere low pressure weather systems turn clockwise.
(coriander effect. is an annual herb in the family Apiaceae which effects the direction weather systems rotate)((satire))
When you look at the MSLP global chart/map there are three low pressure systems taking surface air from around 35 degrees South directly onto the Antarctic continent. This is unusual. These airstreams, North to South, also drive warmer oceanic surface water down onto the ice shelves. I refer to the low SSE of South Africa, South of Western Horsetralia, and West of Drake Strait.
During the recent La Nina, Northerly sea surface airstreams were driving warm Coral Sea waters down into the Southern Ocean and mixing to contribute to shelf ice melting.
Oh, and the 18.6 year lunar MAJOR standstill during January 2025 will cause more oceanic water overturning which dissipates some surface warm water causing a trough in global temperatures.
Just three wheels within the wheel. Right, time for a coffee.
“The elite want us poor and powerless…”
In my opinion the goal of the vast majority of society poverty is to create the conditions in which raising a child would be very difficult if possible at all.
This is just depopulation agenda disguised as tough economic conditions on which the governments don’t have much control.
My research has pointed to an easy explanation for how the planet can do a 20-year jump into a new ice age and it goes like this:
As CO2 is not the primary driver of global mean temperatures (Milankovitch cycles are) and H2O vapour is a feedback mechanism, in a world of higher humidity such as what we are experiencing now, a very large volcanic eruption (VEI = 7 or 8) would inject sufficient aerosols and particulates into high altitude which would reflect a significant amount of incoming solar insolation for at least 6-10 years, thereby dropping global temps 3-5°C. With the higher levels of water vapour present, much greater levels of snow could fall, and with much colder-than-average global temperatures predominating for a decade, the build-up albedo effect of additional snowfall across the northern hemisphere would reflect more of the incoming solar radiation, thereby causing a self-reinforcing feedback loop. Given 10 years of volcanic eruption induced cooling, an additional 10 years of increased albedo affecting incoming insolation could tip us over to permanent expansion of snow fields and eventually glacier expansion.
Let’s find out if I’m right, shall we? It’s certainly as feasible as an 5°-8°C GMT increase the morons at the IPCC believe is possible with the RCP 8.5 scenario.
So you are saying that .3 percent human CO2 contribution isn’t the driving force in global temperature change? Blasphemer!
The media has to have a poster child for climate change, and once their dire predictions don’t happen they simply move on to a new way of scaring us. It used to be arctic sea ice disappearing of the Greenland ice cap melting. Once it became obvious that summer sea ice area has been stable for over a decade, it’s now about 15 years, and the high rates of melting in Greenland for about 10 years, centred around 2012 have been sustained and the ice cap may actually be gaining mass they just looked to antarctica. The most common story to see, and it featured on MSN today is about Thwaites glacier aka “the doomsday glacier”. It drains a large part of West Antarctica and if it’s ice shelf collapses the claim is that the glacier will speed up and the ice cap will loose enough mass to raise global sea levels by at least 10 metres. Obviously this is all based on garbage in garbage out computer models that assume carbon dioxide is the only climate driver. Antarctic ice shelfs cover thousands or tens of thousands of square kilometres and periodically fairly large chunks break off. This provides the media with plenty of pictures a dramatic cracks several kilometres long or stories and satellite photos of chunks of ice the size of Manhattan (this is a favourite comparison) that have broken off. What they don’t say is that it’s all completely natural, has been happening for thousands of years and will keep happening even if we’re all forced into poverty and energy rationing.

Dec-May is supposed to be the dry season in Southern Florida.
These 2-6 inchers are more typical of the First day of Hurricane Season June 1st!!!
Back in 2010-2012 we had a 3 inches in one hour in Venice, Florida on June 1.
That is my gal’s birthday, with the rain shower coming and going while we had the birthday party inside the restaurant. Back at the house the rain guage had received three inches to break the dry spell.
So do we get early tropical storms this year?
It’s not El Nino yet is it? (El Nino tends to dampen the tropical storms I understand) And 3 years of La Nina produced a Hurricane Ian. Do we have a 4th La Nina?
