What happened to that? Nothing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To put it bluntly, it was<a href=\"https:\/\/joannenova.com.au\/2019\/07\/antarctica-was-warmer-one-thousand-years-ago-and-life-was-ok\/\">\u00a0warmer in Antarctica a thousand years ago<\/a>, and t<a href=\"https:\/\/joannenova.com.au\/2017\/11\/antarctica-cooling-since-roman-times\/\">wo thousand years ago<\/a>\u00a0and the penguins survived just fine. In fact, The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/joannenova.com.au\/2024\/04\/global-cooling-wipes-out-elephant-seals-and-penguin-colonies-from-warmer-antarctica-1000-years-ago\/\">Penguin Optimum<\/a>\u00a0(they really call it that) was three or four thousand years ago when it was even warmer still. (Hall et al 2023).\u00a0 It was the horrible cold of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/joannenova.com.au\/2025\/03\/penguins-want-climate-change-too-they-want-antarctica-to-be-warm-like-it-was-1000-years-ago\/\">Little Ice Age that wiped out thousands of penguins<\/a>. Lord forbids, that animals that manage to survive in the coldest place on Earth would want it to be even colder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But none of these awkward points help feed The Blob, so the ABC doesn\u2019t ask, and the scientists don\u2019t say anything. Instead, they talk about sea ice and currents,\u00a0<em>because it\u2019s the only thing they have at the moment.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Playing the \u201cSea Ice\u201d and \u201cOcean Currents\u201d Tarot Card<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like fortune tellers turning over a tarot card, it doesn\u2019t matter what card they flip \u2014 you need to pay them money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Matthew England (UNSW) and Nerilie Abram (Australian Antarctic Division) seem to be more than happy to take a scientific mystery and turn it into a political tax campaign. They craft a story of spooky changes going on with Antarctic Sea ice. The changes are real, but they don\u2019t have the honesty to admit that they have no idea why the sea ice grew and then dropped off the way it has.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/joannenova.com.au\/2025\/07\/suddenly-2-million-square-km-of-sea-ice-is-missing-near-antarctica-and-all-the-climate-models-were-wrong\/\">Their models didn\u2019t predict it,<\/a>\u00a0and it doesn\u2019t seem to have anything to do with CO2. In 2013 Turner et al said the increase in Antarctic Sea\u00a0<em>was one of the great unsolved puzzles of climate science.<\/em>\u00a0Then after it vanished Silvano et al said the decline wa<a href=\"https:\/\/joannenova.com.au\/2025\/07\/suddenly-2-million-square-km-of-sea-ice-is-missing-near-antarctica-and-all-the-climate-models-were-wrong\/\">s \u201ccompletely unexpected<\/a>.\u201d In other words, they have no clue. The \u201csea ice\u201d card flipped!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See the graph below: for thirty years Antarctic Sea ice grew far and wide and set new records (the red line). Then in 2015, something changed and it dramatically shrank. CO2 has been rising the whole time, so it\u2019s not the cause of the sharp shift in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possibly, a big natural change in an ocean current caused the regime change, just like it has for millions of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"723\" height=\"477\" data-attachment-id=\"397178\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=397178\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-456.png?fit=880%2C580&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"880,580\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-456.png?fit=723%2C477&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-456.png?resize=723%2C477&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Graph showing sea-ice extent in million square kilometers from 1979 to 2025 for the Southern and Northern Hemispheres, highlighting the trends in ice coverage over the years.\" class=\"wp-image-397178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-456.png?w=880&amp;ssl=1 880w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-456.png?resize=300%2C198&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-456.png?resize=768%2C506&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scientists are pretending to be fortune tellers in order to get our money<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Copied below the \u201cscientists\u201d use their own ignorance to argue Australians should spend hundreds of millions to install solar panels and windmills in order to change ocean currents and save some penguins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">I<a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2025-08-21\/iconic-antarctic-species-at-risk-amid-antarctic-regime-shift\/105676324\">conic Antarctic species at risk amid \u2018regime shift\u2019, scientists say, with \u2018rapid and self-perpetuating changes\u2019<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[ABC] \u201cA regime shift has reduced Antarctic sea-ice extent far below its natural variability of past centuries, and in some respects is more abrupt, non-linear and potentially irreversible than Arctic sea-ice loss,\u201d it says.
