And now it’s global COOLING! Record return of Arctic ice cap as it grows by 60% in a year
No mention of the huge rise in ice at the Arctic from the BBC, usually so keen to tell us that ice is melting there…but they have switched their attention to the Antarctic where they have 3 reports on the same story…..of course because they can relate to us a story of rising sea levels and a doom laden scenario for the future:
UK scientists to probe Pine Island Glacier
NEW 7 hours agoA group of scientists are about to embark on a mission to one the remotest places on earth – the Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica.
UK team to study mighty Pine Island Glacier
NEW 7 hours agoA team of British scientists is about to begin a six-year effort to try to understand the changes occurring in Antarctica’s huge Pine Island Glacier.

Science & Environment / NEW 10 hours ago… in velocity in recent decades. Its contribution to sea level rise is now greater than any other glacier on the planet. The British Antarctic Survey-led…
On Thursday the BBC had a Green energy day and energy secretary Ed Davey made an appearance on 5Live to give us his take on all things green.
What did he have to say?
Wind farms only get paid when they produce energy. Now we know that’s not true…they get enormous subsidies to get built, their electricity is subsidised and when they have to be switched off the operator gets paid compensation.
Campbell said nothing to object though.
Nor did he object when Davey told us that renewables offer us reliable sources of energy….for example, tidal or biomass technology.
Note the missing renewable…Wind Turbines….not that Campbell noticed.
So an easy day for Davey to push his green propaganda and sell us this expensive white/green elephant that is going to cost the earth…so to speak.
The BBC doesn’t delve too deeply into the problems with green energy…obviously embracing it enthusiastically on Thursday.
However Der Spiegel does…and frequently….relating the disasters of green energy policies that have been inflicted upon Germany.
The BBC rarely, if ever picks up on these stories from Germany…they don’t paint a pretty picture of green energy success…quite the opposite in fact…which is no doubt why the BBC avoids them:
Germany’s Energy Poverty: How Electricity Became a Luxury Good
Germany’s agressive and reckless expansion of wind and solar power has come with a hefty pricetag for consumers, and the costs often fall disproportionately on the poor.
The BBC still shilling for ‘Big Green’
Global warming is to blame for growth of Antarctic ice 🙂

Yeah, if it gets too warm we’ll all die of cold.
I’m hesitant to say this but at long, long last I think the tide is turning. All but the most warped (essentially, Guardian readers and BBC worshipers) have begun to see through the lies.
Very soon now the BBC’s fanatical devotion to this Marxist-inspired pseudo-science is going to leave them looking like, well… a polar bear adrift on an ice floe.
I’ll be happy to see it, but I want a front row seat when the trials begin. There are people who have been complicit in this plot who richly deserve prosecution – several BBC staff and ex-staff members among them.
The charges can begin with the manslaughter of old people suffering from the fuel poverty deliberately brought about by this politically driven campaign of deceit.
i think the gas and hot air that comes out of richard bacons mouth in the 2 hours of his show is enough to power the 5 live studios for a year.
…that would be methane presuming he’s spouting the usual bullshit.
Well, it is not caused by Carbon Dioxide being attracted and repelled by the North Magnetic Pole.
These trends are caused by the Hale Magnetic Solar Cycle, especially during low solar activity. The Hale Magnetic Cycle is a climate oscillation or long scale weather event that lasts four solar cycles or an average of 44 years but does not effect long term climate change as the effect evens out over four solar cycles. This is caused by the Suns magnetic polarity changing every two solar cycles allowing an increase and decrease of cosmic rays as the Earths magnetic poles line up with the Galactic magnetic field. A positive north pole of the Sun leads to an open heliosphere where cosmic rays reach the Earth more easily. This oscillation causes the Earths Poles to alternate between a cooling phase and a warming phase every two Solar cycles, these phases have caused both an Ice age scare at the end of the 1970s and the current more serious and much more expensive global warming scare which is continuing today despite the current cooling phase.
The warmists are finding it harder and harder to find a place where there is a warming trend, but if they find it, it will be reported on the BBC.
Isn’t the Hale Magnetic Cycle a 22 year cycle, covering two polar reversals of the solar magnetic dipole field, not 44?
“Hale’s observations revealed that the solar cycle is a magnetic cycle with an average duration of 22 years. However, because very nearly all manifestations of the solar cycle are insensitive to magnetic polarity, it remains common usage to speak of the “11-year solar cycle”.”

Yes, two Hale cycles is associated with a 44 year weather cycle.
There has been a fierce Private Member’s debate on the Climate Change Act today – for a refreshing change, there was a lot of withering criticism of the policy, of the Met Office – and on occasion of the BBC :

Temperatures in the Andes so cold that the government have declared an emergency, and heavy snowfall has caused a volcano to erupt.
It’s not just that the temperatures are a bit colder, they’re a lot lower than they should be adding to the concern that instead of the earth warming up, it’s actually cooling down.
