Martha Stewart, the American home-and-hospitality retail businesswoman, television personality and writer, has been on a cruise around Greenland, where she had a chunk of ice (presumably calved from the Greenland ice sheet) brought aboard to provide ice for adult beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cue the climate alarmists, who considered such an action to be\u00a0tone deaf<\/a>\u00a0regarding the seriousness of the climate crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What, you might ask, does fishing a chunk of ice out of the ocean next to the Greenland ice cap have to do with the \u201cclimate crisis\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, in some people\u2019s minds (I know because I\u2019ve met a few of them), ice calving off of the Greenland ice sheet is due to global warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are locations which are so cold for so much of the year, with enough snowfall, that come summer not all of the snowfall melts. This leads to a net accumulation of ice over the centuries and millennia. That\u2019s what causes a \u201cglacier\u201d to form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the ice sheet deepens over the centuries, gravity starts to make the ice flow downhill, like very thick molasses. It then breaks off when it reaches the coast, floating away, and melting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything I described above has nothing to do with global warming. Most scientists believe it has been going on for millions of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, along comes Martha Stewart, at 82 years old just trying to enjoy life, and she gets global backlash for plucking a chunk of ice out of the ocean to cool her drink down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are they teaching kids in school these days???<\/p>\n\n\n\n
