A new paper written by zoologist Dr Susan Crockford to mark International Polar Bear Day today has found that global polar bear numbers have continued to rise. Numbers have been steadily increasing since 2005, with 2018 data estimating the highest number of polar bears globally since they were protected by international treaty in 1973.

Santa Cruz could use some right now to help with the over abundance of elephant seals.

I know we have a few Florida users here. The state should be underwater by all estimates from the 90's. It's the same. The barrier island I went to annually in the panhandle for 35 years hasn't changed and got smashed by 2-3 hurricanes in that time with heavy erosion.

Sea level moves with tectonic plate movement. Not ice, rain or temperature. Sure we might get more rain. But even the hurricanes have been lame, and just heavy rain being the biggest problem. They seem less frequent. The evaporation has been more and places see 20" plus of rain. The winds really haven't been a problem lately.

Was just in tropical storm Sara for the tail end in Mexico. An average midwest thunderstorm is exponentially worse than my first tropical storm experience. We were just walking around outside with raincoats on. No lightening risk. Breezy, maybe 50mph gusts. Fell asleep on the balcony outside during it. Natural rain and wind/tree noise is the most peaceful white noise you can get.... along with a bunch of beer. Slept in a hammock too. Best sleep that trip.

God damn Mexicans and their marble though. Fucking ice skating rink. I was good but saw at least a dozen people biff it hard falling on wet tile outdoors. Like potential bone breakers and staff needing to assist them. I brought my Merrill hiking shoes and had great traction. I don't prep at home, but I'm a vacation prepper. Especially in tourist areas where it's 2-5X's the price at home.

Undersea vulcanism has been injecting trillions of tons of water vapor into the atmosphere. Water vapor is at least an order of magnitude greater than CO2 in terms of greenhouse warming. Where are the undersea volcanic eruptions in the current climate models? No fucking where.

To paraphrase "Glengarry Glenn Ross," the models are WEAK.

Last month, the Daily Sceptic highlighted the practice at the U.K. Met Office of inventing temperature averages from over 100 non-existent measuring stations. Helpfully, the Met Office went so far as to supply coordinates, elevations and purposes of the imaginary sites. Following massive interest across social media and frequent reposting of the Daily Sceptic article, the Met Office has amended its ludicrous claims. The move has not been announced in public, needless to say, since drawing attention to this would open a pandora’s box and run the risk of subjecting all the Met Office temperature claims to wider scrutiny. Instead, the Met Office has discreetly renamed its “U.K. climate averages” page as “Location-specific long-term averages”.

Visegrád 24 also quoted Sweden’s deputy prime minister and energy minister, Ebba Busch, as being “furious with the Germans.” The article continued, explaining that due to Germany’s decision to shutter its nuclear plants, “people in southern Sweden and southern Norway now have [to] pay $5 for a 10-minute shower.”

I mean we are what? 98.6ºF. Probably should be about what we exhaust.

I don't get why warming is bad. Never understood it. Water level changes by the movement of tectonic plates. Of the land (soil) with ice it's a nothing burger if it melts. If anything places like Canada get a better or longer growing season. I don't get when people don't understand ground water. Unfrozen tundra can now absorb 80% of the precipitation allowing more growth. It doesn't go into oceans.

All water level change is almost exclusively because of land movement. And IWOGS old wet bulb BS. So you go outside in a sauna. Come inside to your AC. Our biggest threat is not having enough electric more than anything. Erosion and shit will happen on shorelines, but that's not water level rise.

Either way they've been wrong for at least 50 years at this point.

China - over a billion humans breathing emits CO2
India - over a billion humans breathing emits CO2
Half of world population.
If global warming is a problem, we should see effects first in those areas.

The effect from additional CO2 put in the air is that plants grow faster. That has been proven many times over the years with high school AP class terrarium experiments.

A bizarre apocalypse article, based on a recently published astrophysics study, bubbled up through leftwing media this week, finally topping the New York Times’ home page yesterday. It bore the terrifying headline, “Superflares Erupt From Stars Like Our Sun Once Every 100 Years. ...

The study published this week in the journal Science with a title nearly identical to the Times’ headline: “Sun-like stars produce superflares roughly once per century.” (After the appalling pandemic trend of civilians doing their own research, the journal Science joined many other science journals and locked its content up behind an expensive paywall waived for Establishment types and corporate media. The high priests of science will tell you what you need to know, dummy.) ...

Let us pause to reflect that the data these scientists used was not new. The information was collected by NASA’s Kepler satellite telescope, which retired back in 2017. The Times suggested nobody noticed till now because they didn’t have good software tools. But I’d suggest that we’re only finding out now because the results are too different from approved orthodoxy, and so no respectable scientists wanted to find them, at least not until conditions improved.

Given the wild solar weather this year, new theories about the Sun are permissible. A little. Welcome to modern science.

And as for pandemic favorite The Ethical Skeptic (TES), the data genius who revealed and regularly reported on the CDC’s mendacious jab mortality data meddling, his true love is his well-developed but intellectually challenging theory of a recurring pole/solar disaster cycle. ...

The problem is that Establishment Science is politically allergic to two scientific theories: 1) any model attributing Earth’s changing climate to anything besides human activity, or 2) any model explaining Earth’s geology as being caused by catastrophic events like Noah’s flood, rather than by gradualism, the notion that Nature’s slow, steady, uniform forces can fully explain all Earth’s geologic features.

Since Hancock, Davidson, and TES all argue for catastrophic cycles causing both geology and climate, their ideas are doubly anathema to capital-S ‘Science.’ The arrogant left considers them not just heretical, but as “non-scientists,” instantly disqualifying them right out of the gate for lacking the right credentials (and more importantly, lacking the right politics).

So, considering their long-standing opposition to catastrophism and non-human climate influence, what should we make of the far-left New York Times promoting this catastrophic “every hundred years” superflare story, which violates, or at least threatens to violate, both banned ideas?

And especially since the story lends credibility to heretics like Hancock, Davidson, TES, and other heterodox catastrophists?

The answer is not obvious, and the Times isn’t saying. But recent events suggest a solution. Two weeks ago, the Economist ran a scary science story headlined, “Earth's magnetic North Pole is shifting toward Russia.” (Cue complaints about Russian disinformation, which is now confusing the North Pole.) “The pole,” the Economist economically noted, “is on the move.” Moving could become problematic. “If the Earth's magnetic field is disrupted,” the Economist darkly warned, “it may cause problems in technology and navigation, as well as expose the planet to unwanted radiation.”

Here’s the point: Could this year’s increasingly bizarre solar activity (with its astonishing, historic, worldwide aurorae and its weakening magnetic field), combined with the North Pole’s sprinting-speed geomagnetic excursion, be scaring the Establishment into considering previously unthinkable possibilities or, Heaven help us, the potential for a natural catastrophe not caused by cows burping?

These rapidly unfolding events must create a growing sense of urgency for Establishment Science to explain what’s happening, even if only to retain their crowns as experts and prevent customers from going somewhere else. Maybe that urgency, combined with the terrifying ultra-urgency of Trump’s appointment of heterodox scientists to run the main scientific agencies which, after all, award the grants, has the Scientific Establishment feeling especially apocalyptic this week.

Maybe we’re getting somewhere.

Same tribe depicted in the film "Killers of the Flower Moon"

Italian firm was even excavating minerals from tribal land w/o permission. Why would they need minerals to erect wind farms?

They got hundreds of millions in US tax credits for putting these up that they don't have to pay back.

They essentially raped the Osage and got paid by Uncle Sam to do so. History repeating itself.

“Defendants are liable for continuing trespass and shall remove the wind farm from the Osage Minerals Estate and return the Osage Minerals Estate to its pre-trespass condition on or before December 1, 2025.”

It’s difficult to overstate the importance of this ruling. Enel has said that removing the 84 turbines in the Osage wind project would cost the company $300 million. Whatever the cost, the fact that a federal court has ordered the removal of the turbines is unprecedented.

Hasn't this been known though? Sea level simply hasn't changed. Global warming is actually a good thing as well. Friends with a farmer that has 8,000 acres roughly. Said it was the best year the family farm(s) ever had.

Climate change is a racket to scare people and get donations to "charities" and cut yourself a $150k administrative fee for running it. People got all worked up about the rain forest being cut down. CO2 helps it regrow faster. We should be driving bigger gas run vehicles to regrow it.

One would think.

Can’t forget water vapor. Molecule for molecule, it’s on par with CO2 as a greenhouse gas, but much more abundant, ranging from 0.2% at the poles to 4% at the equator:

“Water vapor, the most important greenhouse gas, fluctuates with temperature. The percent of water vapor in the cold Arctic and Antarctic (and highest Alpine regions) may reach as low as 0.2 percent while the warmest tropical air may contain up to 4 percent water vapor.”

https://www.sciencing.com/percentage-water-vapor-atmosphere-19385/

All green measures are designed to fail, and blaming the food animals either for global warming or pandemics is Globalist demon multi tasking by creating the virtue signaling handle to also introduce starvation or at the very least rampant malnutrition to enhance their industrial food and water poisons .

Of course, all the environmental guilt trip predictive programming goes back a long way, from Rachel Carson's fake alarmist shit and Jane Goodall et alia with their fake monkey shit to imposing guilt trips on straws and recycling. It is their symbology closest to your day to day activities.

Indeed. Undersea vulcanism in the past several years have lifted gigatons of water vapor into the atmosphere. Aside from an article or two I've never seen any other reporting on this.

Yup, and comet debris continues to add water to the Earth.

environmental guilt trip

Funny how this environmental guilt trip is never applied to cel phones or dryers. Cel phones, with the multitude of radio towers, are a huge energy suck. Landline phones are very energy efficient using very little electricity except for the ringer. Older folks remember that landline phone worked even during power failures. Clothes dryers are joule heat energy consuming monsters whereas the clothesline is a free wind and solar device available to anyone who claims to be green.
