It's politics, not science, driving climate mania...

UK Daily Mail:

For years, computer simulations have predicted that sea ice should be disappearing from the Poles.

Now, with the news that Antarctic sea-ice levels have hit new highs, comes yet another mishap to tarnish the credibility of climate science.

 

Climatologists base their doom-laden predictions of the Earth’s climate on computer simulations.

 

But these have long been the subject of ridicule because of their stunning failure to predict the pause in warming – nearly 18 years long on some measures – since the turn of the last century.

 

It’s the same with sea ice. We hear a great deal about the decline in Arctic sea ice, in line with or even ahead of predictions.

 

But why are environmentalists and scientists so much less keen to discuss the long-term increase in the southern hemisphere?

 

In fact, across the globe, there are about one million square kilometres more sea ice than 35 years ago, which is when satellite measurements began.

 

It’s fair to say that this has been something of an embarrassment for climate modellers. But it doesn’t stop there.
