Arctic ice melting - maybe not

Hmmm.....


Over time, Zero Hedge expanded into non-financial political content,https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Hedge#cite_note-25 including conspiracy theories and fringe rhetoric[3][24] advancing radical right,[15][25] alt-right,[26][27][28] and pro-Russia positions.[1][29][30][31] Zero Hedge's non-financial commentary has led to multiple site bans by global social media platforms, although a 2019 Facebook ban[32][33] and a 2020 Twitter ban were later reversed.[15][34]

Zero Hedge's in-house content is authored by one "Tyler Durden"; the pen name of site owner Daniel Ivandjiiski.[23] The motto of the site is posted in the masthead of every page: "On a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero". The quote is from the book and film Fight Club,[35] which is in turn a paraphrase of economist John Maynard Keynes who said "In the long run we are all dead



I thought you were proud of your critical thinking and cross referencing information, looking out for specific conspiracy theories.

That is some bad analysis. You've got to work hard to misread the BBC article that badly. They explicitly stated that the 2013 date was much earlier than other predictions. The analysis uses the term 'baseless' for the BBC article, that's a flat lie. It was based on a peer reviewed study, albeit an outlier.

I the bigger picture, the insinuation that sea ice is recovering, one thing that should have jumped out at people was why 2012 is referenced. That's the lowest value ever recorded. Which is probably a very safe bet for the lowest value for potentially thousands of years as finding the arctic that bare of ice would have been recorded. 2024 is only the sixth or seventh worst year ever. 'Only' is doing a lot of work there. What sort of idiot looks at that trend and starts celebrating the return of sea ice?

The worst 18 years have all been in the last 18 years. Who wants to put a bet that next year will be outside the worst 19?
 
When I was at school and in college, the environmental disaster du jour was the hole in the ozone layer which went onto miraculously heal itself.

As a youngster I was worried sick about this. At the time, we were told we were all going to fry as a result. Now, we are being told we are all going to drown.

When will man understand they are not the infinite wisdom.
 
I have thanks, hence 'miraculously heal itself'.

Are you insinuating it isn't healing itself?

The issue is with 'miraculously'. It's recovering because we banned and reduced the use of 99% of the chemicals known to be destroying it.

That's a very unimpressive 'miracle'. It's just chemistry on a large scale. It's also exactly what scientists said would happen.

You are absolutely not

How do people not know this?

Codswallop.

China is still emitting CFCs as are other countries.

More than the rest of the world was historically? The unexplained CFCs have only been detected in the last decade or so, while the reductions for CFCs have been in place and active for many before that. Without the global reductions the unexplained sources would have been a rounding error. That's what has allowed some of the ozone layer to recover as much as it has so far. Fun fact, different layers are recovering, or not, at different rates.

Does anyone of that make the recovery miraculous?

You don't know what you're ranting about.
 
I mean, what is the point of this flat earther *******s. Is it nothing more than the millennium big again?

An upcoming danger was identified, confirmed and a massive and global change was put in place, but since the danger was averted there was no danger in the first place?

Sunshine is the sort of person who would decide since he's not getting wet he can take his umbrella down in a downpour.
