Remember, this is totally about science. And, speaking of science
This aged well.
"The chance that there will be any permanent ice left in the Arctic after 2022 is essentially zero," Harvard scientist James Anderson in 2018.https://t.co/JwjNksjnyY— Rita Panahi (@RitaPanahi) March 14, 2023
Are these climate cultists ever correct?
Cultural heritage is an essential resource for climate change science, reports say
Many of the people archaeologist Dulma Karunarathna interviews in rural Sri Lanka have never been interviewed before. And many of them, representing a variety of religions and languages, tell her of the mee tree (Madhuca longifolia).
The tree’s roots balance water levels and share underground nutrients with rice fields. Its flowers, seeds and bark can be used to treat surface wounds, and its leaves provides shade for farmers’ watch huts to avoid wild animals at night while they exchange call-and-response pel kavi songs across their fields. But most importantly, its nectar attracts bats, which deposit their droppings across the rice fields. For locals, the trees offer a cheap alternative or supplement to nitrogen synthetic fertilizers and improve their resilience to disaster. For this reason, the mee tree is often called the fertilizer tree. (snip)
Karunarathna’s work to highlight traditional ecological knowledge crystallizes what climate scientists have increasingly begun publishing. Indigenous people and local communities (IPLCs) who benefit from centuries of knowledge by working closely with the land often interact with their environment in ways that reveal profound innovations and ecological tools that can benefit climate resilience and mitigation initiatives. At the same time, many of these ideas and the people who pass them on from generation to generation are under threat from a suite of factors.
Uh huh. Sure. These 1st Worlders head to talk with the 3rd Worlders, looking for ideas to reduce the 1st World standards. Why does it seem this all has more to do with politics and sociology than actual science?
Our distinguished host asked:
The laws of averages would normally posit that at least a couple of them ought to be correct, just by sheer dumb luck. But averages don’t apply when there’s a heavy bias to “predict” a worse rather than better scenario, because there’s no political advantage to be gained for projecting
global warmingclimate change to not be as dramatic.The climate activists are just that: activists! As such, they have definite political goals, and the bias has to be for the greater urgency to push those political goals.
Alas! It wasn’t even 20º F this morning!
But while the temperatures were arctic, Polar Bear was inside, napping at my feet.
He was wrong. There has only been an 85% loss of permanent ice, not 100%
However, teach no peer reviewed journal that I know of has ever predicted the exact date of complete loss of summer ice in the Arctic. Really, for the most accurate scientific observations you should not look in mass media periodicals. They are often not accurate.
Teach when was the last time you posted that the warming had stopped ? If warming does continue could you postulate a cause?
Dear H:
“But most importantly, its nectar attracts bats, which deposit their droppings across the rice fields.

For this reason, the mee tree is often called the fertilizer tree. (snip)
And people are starving in Sri Lanka because they don’t have petro based fertilizers because their government believes the shit you people put out.
Shame, H! Shame on you and all like you. You are killing people, right now.
