Between 2017 and 2020 I reckon I spent more time analysing all things Arctic than all other climate topics put together. The reason for this is simple: the Arctic is the<\/em> poster child of alarmism and a place where globalist-funded journalists can take sensational photographs to prove to the world that things are really bad and getting badder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By way of example, here is a smashing photo of a bay in Greenland that was taken by a journalist in June 2019, who swore the same area was chock-a-block full of thick sea ice the year before:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is meant to shock us into despair and a good many folk will no doubt have fallen for the powerful graphical narrative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now the interesting thing here is that the journalist\u2019s claim was entirely truthful, but what they omitted to tell their readers is the fact that sea ice completely disappears in this bay each and every year in the summer, and returns again in the winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, if they were doing their job properly, they\u2019d go on to inform readers that 60% – 70% of all Arctic sea ice melts during the warm season every year only to return the next \u2013 a topic that I shall be chewing over in the New Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another Arctic antic that ardent alarmists like to air is to show astonishing footage of great walls of ice crashing into the sea as proof of rapid melting of the ice sheets. This is called \u2018calving<\/a>\u2019 and it shows the exact opposite; it is visual proof of ice sheet expansion<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/image-864.png?resize=723%2C407&ssl=1\")
