The Greenland ice sheet is estimated to contain 2.9 million gigatons (Gt) of ice. If it is losing 1M tons of ice every 2-minutes, that works out to 262.8B tons per year. That sounds like a lot until you realize that at current rates, it'll take a little more than 11,035 years for…

“Bomb cyclones” are extratropical cyclones that deepen by ≥24 mb / 24 hours; they feed off latitudinal baroclinicity (ΔT), which decreases in a warming climate. Ch 11 IPCC AR6 doesn't support this nonsense. Enroll in a synoptic meteorology course, this is blatant misinformation.

The polar vortex has remained strong as an ox this winter. See the donut shape?🍩 Winds are whipping >55 m/s, close +2σ on a bell curve. This organized cyclonic flow has helped arctic sea ice recover to a 13-year high, and 3rd highest since 2004. No media coverage, go figure.
The Earth is essentially at its coolest point in the last 65 million years, but climate doomers are telling us that the planet is “too hot” because temperatures are 1.2°C warmer than they were in 1850, the tail end of the Little Ice Age.

If atmospheric CO₂ concentrations are at the same levels (roughly) as they were 4.3 million years ago, but temperatures were 3.9°C higher, sea levels 75 feet higher and portions of the Arctic were covered in forests, that means CO₂ isn’t the control knob.
The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere today is comparable to around 4.3 million years ago, when sea level was about 75 ft higher than today, the average temp was 7 degrees F higher than in pre-industrial times, & large forests occupied areas of the Arctic that are now tundra.

As it turns out, nuclear and natural gas power plants don’t get destroyed by hailstorms, and a single plant uses far less land than the expensive, unsustainable solar farms that litter the landscape.

Whenever climate doomers are presented with actual data showing that things aren't as bad as they seem to think it is, instead of being relieved, they get angry. It's almost as if they are actually wishing for their alarming predictions to come true. It's a very odd mentality.
"Experts" have been telling us that Glacier National Park would be ice-free for over 70 years. In 1923, they predicted that it would be by 1948. In 1952, they made the same prediction for 2002. In 2009, they said by 2020. Now, they're removing the "gone by 2020" signs.
In 1995, experts told the NY Times that east coast beaches would be wiped out by 2020; forecasts based on models. Despite being wrong, rapid acceleration scenarios are still used today. Obviously didn't learn a darn thing. “Climate science is where arrogance and ignorance meet.”

It always perplexes me that when you tell people good news (e.g. Arctic sea ice extent/volume being at an 18-year high, despite the long-term trend), rather than being optimistic, they are irate. It's like they want the worst-case scenario; they get comfort out of hysteria.
