Keeping Nature Exactly As Is ... Forever by John Stossel on Creators.com - A Syndicate Of Talent

Most of us don't think civilization is evil, but we worry about what environmentalists say. We don't have the time to do complicated calculations about economic trade-offs. It's easier to just recycle something, buy a Prius and donate to the Environmental Defense Fund.

Today, we put up with amazing intrusions in the name of environmentalism. A million petty regulations mandate surtaxes on gas, separation of garbage into multiple bins, special light bulbs, taxes on plastic bags and so on.

Yet these things are of so little ecological consequence that the Earth will never notice. For this, we must surrender our freedom?

Hide the decline - Arctic Sea ice data collected by DMI 1893-1961

What have we learned according to DMI´s international compilation of sea ice data?

- That sea ice data has declined strongly even in the recent past before human CO2 outlet.

- That Sea ice from a level not far from the 2006 level has recovered very fast 1938-1946.

- That the Sea ice decline documented year after year in DMI maps after 1921 apparently is not shown in Chryosphere data for some reason.
