FIVE CLIMATE LIES OF 2014.

The year 2014 has come to an end and with it its lies about global warming/climate change/climate disruption/extreme weather. Considering the media bias on the subject, here are five such news items you may have missed.
The year 2014 is the hottest ever recorded:
Since the climate hysteria has been created, every year is hotter than the preceding one.
However, this is (very likely) hot air. Indeed, satellite records of temperatures not only show no increase of temperatures for the past 18 years – climate models have nearly all failed at predicting trends – but 2014 isn’t even hot for that period. Plus, when looking at a larger picture the modern warm period is nothing compared to what human civilization has lived through before.
Arctic ice is about to vanish:
His Holiness, the Un-Crowned President (Al Gore) predicted that the Arctic sea would be ice-free this year.
However, Arctic ice is at a 10-year peak and is now within the standard deviation of the satellite-era average, which started in 1979. Furthermore, one can only wonder why 1979 was selected as year zero. Recently-found satellite pictures dating from 1964 show that the Great North wasn’t always uniformly frozen.
At the same time, South Pole ice is breaking every extent record, and that ice is very thick. This could explain the misfortunes of the “Ship of Fools”…
Polar bears are endangered:
The polar bear, the Great North’s official mascot, is threatened by the climate hysteria. Everywhere people are saying the species will go extinct if the ice keeps “melting”.
Now, 2014 has been a difficult year for the bears because there was… too much ice. Also, news about the sudden decrease of polar bear populations in the South Beaufort Sea seems to have been cherry-picked. Indeed, more exhaustive data show that the population isn’t declining. Plus, the territorial government of Nunavut in Canada says that the polar bears are alive and well.
More CO2 emission will bring famine and despair:
Carbon dioxide is a satanic gas. Among other things, it’s accused of decreasing agricultural yields.
Fortunately, Mother Nature doesn’t care about these accusations. Indeed, a ton of studies, including one from the federal government, show that increased CO2 will increase yields. This would therefore continue the trends already observed for corn, wheat, soy, rice…
Also – the story just got out – the supposed acidification of the oceans caused by CO2 is a scam.
The present drought in California is unprecedented:
It seems that the slightest anomaly in climate “proves” the climate hysteria. It is the case for the persistent drought that is striking California (the hysteria would also be responsible for the heavy rains the Golden State recently had, but moving along…)
But once again, it’s much ado about nothing. Even NOAA admits that the present drought isn’t exceptional. A look in the past shows that there were much more severe droughts in California before the 21st century.
In short, just dismiss those dubious bad news articles, just like you would for any end-world news we’ve been hearing since Thomas Malthus. They are generally created by people whose livelihoods depend on the climate hysteria being true.
