A hard look at Everest's Base Camp | Film | Pique Newsmagazine | Whistler, CANADA

Climate change is causing the glaciers on Mount Everest to recede, unearthing corpses left behind on the mountain from past expeditions.

Climate Scientists And Nature Magazine Reach Hitherto Unknown Levels Of Stupidity | Real Science

Temperatures in Antarctica at the end of the last ice age were 8C cooler than the ridiculously cold temperatures they have now. Antarctic warming/melting couldn’t possibly have been a climate forcing. It took several thousand years of warming just to bring Antarctic ice up to current temperatures.

...Not to mention the fact that CO2 lagged the temperature increase by 800 years. Peer review means smoking weed with your BFFs.

Former Max Planck Institute Director Hartmut Grassl: Doomsday Teller With Ties To The Re-Insurance Industry

Today Hartmut Grassl, who was once director of the UN World Climate Program in Geneva from 1994 to 1999, is also a foundation board member of reinsurer Munich Re – a major beneficiary of the climate catastrophe scare. Although Grassl’s fortune telling and predictions of doom are paying huge dividends for the insurance industry, they are turning out to be completely wrong.

Grassl predicted temperature would increase up to 2°C in 30 years.
