Polar bears walking the streets on Novaya Zemlya are habituated garbage bears, not victims of climate change

by Susan Crockford, Ph.D.

"What a bunch of sensationalist claptrap about the polar bears on Novaya Zemlya but I guess it sells papers and raises donations (WWF and PBI, I mean you).

Seriously, if the bears were coming for us, people in Belushaya Guba would have died already, probably EATEN. These particular bears know there is stored food and refuse available that does not come packaged in human form and they know from experience that humans won’t hurt them. As I pointed out in my last post, these bears have known this since early December, when they chose to stay on land over the winter and ignored the sea ice when it arrived.

Lack of sea ice is not the problem here. These are habituated garbage bears that are no longer safe to have around: the responsible option is to shoot them. It’s harsh, I know, but the population will recover from the loss.


If you suddenly cut off their passive food supply (fence or close the dump, deal more carefully with individual refuse and stored food), all of these bears in the photos and videos being flashed across the Internet will become desperate and truly dangerous. Remember, just last summer an emaciated, desperate bear almost killed a cruise ship guard: he had a loaded gun and was actively looking for bears, yet the bear managed to ambush him. He’d have died if he’d been alone.

Of course the refuse and stored food problem needs to be dealt with, in Belushaya Guba and elsewhere across the Arctic, but these particular bears cannot be saved. Cleaning up these issues takes time, coordination, and money. Ask Churchill, Manitoba, who for years wrestled with these issues before a workable solution was agreed upon..."

The Greatest Scientific Fraud Of All Time— Part XX


by Francis Menton, J.D.

"For those new to this topic, the Greatest Scientific Fraud Of All Time is the systematic downward adjustment of early-year temperatures in order to create a fake enhanced warming trend, the better to bamboozle voters and politicians to go along with extreme measures to try to avert the impending “climate crisis.” Prior posts in this series have documented large and unexplained downward adjustments at hundreds of stations around the world that are used by official government organizations (in the US, primarily NOAA and NASA) to wipe out early-year high temperatures and thereby proclaim that the latest month or year is “the hottest ever!” To read all prior posts in this series...


...the latest temperature adjustments were released “oh-so-quietly.” I guess that the plan is just to start using the new figures as the historical comparisons and bet that journalists will be too stupid or ignorant to figure out that the earlier temperatures have been altered. That’s actually a pretty good bet. However, down in Australia they do have a hard-working group of independent researchers who are on top of this issue. One of them is Nova, and another is Chris Gillham. Gillham has done his own very detailed analysis of the adjustments in the ACORN2 report...


...Do they offer a justification for these downward adjustments? Yes, but nothing remotely satisfactory. The one-word explanation is “homogenization.” OK, we understand what that is. For example, sometimes a station moves, and that causes a discontinuity, where, say, the new location is systematically 0.1 deg C lower than the old. An adjustment needs to be made. But these sorts of adjustments should cancel out. How is it possible that every time some official meteorological organization anywhere in the world makes some of these “homogenization” adjustments, the result is that earlier years get colder and the supposed “global warming” trend gets enhanced — always to support a narrative of “climate crisis.”


...As far as I am concerned, this is the definitive proof of the fraud. If this were even an attempt at real, credible science, the proponents would put out a document complete with the details of the adjustments — and all of their computer code — so that an independent researcher could replicate the work. Nothing like that is here. This is pure bafflegab...


...All of these methods, which use different statistical approaches, have been successfully used across a range of networks since their development. Further details on their implementation are given in Appendix C.

My favorite part is that reference at the end to “Appendix C.” This document has no Appendix C. There are three appendices, numbered Appendix 1, Appendix 2 and Appendix 3. That’s about the intellectual level we are dealing with...

Trysail is accusing others of what he does himself. His graphs of the "UAH satellite-based temperature of the global lower atmosphere" are clearly doctored, and he has nothing to say about it.

The climate is going to change today from sunny to rain.

 

[trysail]

Fascinating— exactly what was predicted!

Increases in unreliable and intermittent renewable electricity generating capacity is leading to duplicative increases in reliable electricity generating capacity.

That redundancy will, of course, lead to higher cost electricity.

by the Energy Information Administration ("EIA")

"Reciprocating internal combustion engines, which are typically used for backup, standby, or emergency power, are now becoming increasingly popular for larger utility-scale power generation applications, especially in areas with high levels of electricity generation from intermittent sources such as wind and solar. The recent increase in natural gas or dual-fuel capable reciprocating internal combustion engine units has been driven in part by advancements in engine technology that increase operational flexibility and by changes in natural gas markets that have generally provided ample supply and relatively stable fuel prices..."

You really are disingenuous stooge.

Fuck!! If only we could get the global climate to remain the same all the time.

Bullshit. Every time it gets hot you piss ants start screaming climate change.

Bullshit. Every time it gets hot you piss ants start screaming climate change.

So you don't deny you don't know the difference between climate and weather??

 

[Shagly]

Was there any interesting weather this week?

It is raining today in Northern N.Y. instead of snowing for a change.

In March it will be a melting flood season.

 

[nowisthetime]

Bullshit. Every time it gets hot you piss ants start screaming climate change.

Something is mentally wrong with you. It's as if facts of which are inconvenient to your severely narrow-minded thinking are useless and liberal tainted. So you are going to ignore YEARS of scientific research?

It's VERY weird and frustrating, I don't think I've ever encountered a human being who is so ignorant as you are to the world. You are very ignorant and you are proud of this willful ignorance, yet you think you are so smart and wise.


If you can't tell the difference between weather and climate, then you are hopeless.

Of course, I can easily predict your piss ant troll buddies will post right after me, saying some fifth grade shit.

Dude is all over the place, throwing a passive-aggressive hissy fit early in the morning. It's not a holiday, nor weekend, nor late night, so what's up with him?

He doesn't put me on iggy, he's obsessed. Other posters can clown him all day, every day, yet he continues to take digs at me, for whatever reason. I don't even bother with him, never created a thread about him, and yet here he is...

Some people take this place way too seriously.

Burn more fossil fuels, it helps to keep the Earth warm.

 

[phrodeau]

January 2019 was the 409th consecutive month of global above-average temperatures. Over a third of a century has gone by without one month of average or below-average global temps. But it's only the weather.

https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/global-climate-201901

The January temperature across global land and ocean surfaces was 1.58°F above the 20th century average of 53.6°F. This value tied with 2007 as the third highest for January in the 140-year record. Januaries 2016 (+1.91°F) and 2017 (+1.64°F) were warmer.

The 10 warmest January global land and ocean surface temperatures have all occurred since 2002.

Record-warm January surface temperatures were present across much of Australia and its adjacent Southern Ocean waters, southern Brazil, the ocean off the south coast of South Africa, and across parts of Africa, Asia, and the southeastern Pacific Ocean. No land or ocean areas had record-cold January temperatures.

If you enjoyed either Central heating or air conditioning at any time during those 409 months then you are part of the problem.

Take the solution challenge and move into a cave, spend your days hunting and fishing and cook over a wood fire. Actually that doesn't sound half bad.
