The climate cultists can be heard singing \u201cGoodbye Yellow Brick Road\u201d as the global warming arguments continue to unravel this week.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The stories this week strike a plaintive tone, like a balladeer pouring out his soul on stage while playing a sad tune on piano. The laments come one after the other as tragic stories of loss and heartbreak emerge from those pushing the climate agenda. The classic Elton John song \u201cLove Lies Bleeding\u201d could easily have been about the tragic death of not just a relationship, but an entire movement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The narrative lies bleeding in their hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And really, we\u2019ve seen this coming for a long time, those of us who consider ourselves rationalists, who reject hysteria. Everything about this house was born to grow and die, indeed. None of it ever held together with rational explanations, or science for that matter, which explains the need to propagandize and mandate. We clearly never had any intention of voting for this stuff, after all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for good reason. This week\u2019s stories center around the theme of truths ever so inconvenient for the climate cult. We also have several stories that are downright weird, and a new scientific study that continues to erode the arguments in favor of the theory of manmade global warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our Good News segment, we have more EV implosions, and NOAA retires its \u201cbillion-dollar disaster\u201d boondoggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Death of a Narrative: Antarctic Sea Ice Edition<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The narrative states definitively that anthropogenic global warming has caused climate change that drives more weather extremes, causing more catastrophic storms, floods, fires, sea level rise, and melting polar ice caps and glaciers. Therefore, we need to extract trillions of dollars from capitalist countries and impose global communism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The narrative\u2019s baseline assumptions are dying, as the dogs of society howl. Take, for instance, Antarctica. The sea ice continues to refuse to shrink there. Four \u201ckey glacier basins\u201d in East Antarctica showed ice growth from 2021 to 2023, according to a new study<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sudden spike in global temperatures in 2023 was nothing but a candle in the wind, it seems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
