The CLIMATE SCEPTICS Blog: USS Queenfish-1970
Thinning ice. This view through the periscope on Aug. 3 was typical: ice and water. The first half of the Queenfish's journey retraced most of the path that the U.S.S. Nautilus took in its historic 1958 trip to the North Pole, the first vessel to travel there under the ice. Alfred S. McLaren, the Queenfish's commander, wanted to compare the ice conditions of 1970 with those 18 years earlier. The ice had, on average, thinned 28 inches between those two voyages.

The "Skeptics" are hiding the decline too
THE SKEPTICS SOCIETY is an old-time band of brothers who were originally devoted to exposing "magicians", the "paranormal", religion and various scientific frauds. Some time ago however, they went over to the dark side and became peddlers of scientific fraud. Far from being skeptical about global warming, they now proselytize for it in an entrely unskeptical way.
I myself gave a talk to their local chapter a few years ago and found them very poorly informed about the science involved but zealous apostles nonetheless. I asked them to put their hands up if they thought 20th century warming was greater than one degree Celsius. Nearly everyone did. As I pointed out at the time, they thus showed that they didn't even know the Warmist case, let alone the skeptical one. So they were a perfect example of credulousness founded on ignorance: Exactly what they purport to oppose!
Their latest magazine continues the crusade.

THE very reason I canceled my subscription to Skeptical Inquirer magazine is because of their AGW non-skeptical hypocrisy. The magazine often featured unskeptical propagandist articles written by Chris Mooney, which undermined their credibility as a skeptical organization. I'd attended a variety of lectures they sponsored on the east coast and found them to be very compelling until they began singing from the warmist hymnal. I'll come back to the fold when they apply the principals of skepticism to their own beliefs again. The fact that they're so sensitive about the AGW issue is disappointing. Right now, they're just another CAGW advocacy group who might as well be sponsoring feel-good gatherings for UFO abductees. I'm from Missouri, so show me I'm wrong, Skeptical Society.
