Imagine If Climate Scientists Actually Used Their Brains | Real Science

Antarctic ice area once again set a post-1979 record high for the date today, and is closing in on the September 20, 2007 post-1979 record high.

Does that date sound familiar? It should, because it was the same week as the previous post-1979 record low Arctic ice area.

Global warming theory requires that both poles warm, but we are seeing the exact opposite – the poles move opposite each other.

And prior to 1979, Arctic ice was increasing, while Antarctic ice was decreasing.

Putin Turns Photo Ops Into Soviet-Style Agitprop : NPR

It is rare to hear a politician say, "Of course it was a set up." But Russian President Vladimir Putin told a Russian journalist that many of his most picturesque media appearances — shooting a tranquilizer dart into a tiger who appeared about to pounce; tagging a wounded snow leopard; and, just this week, wearing a feathery white suit to pilot a glider to guide a group of cranes south for the winter — were staged.

"Of course there are excesses," he told Masha Gessen in Bolshoi Gorod magazine. But they were constructive deceits, he said, because they called attention to endangered wildlife.

A lot of Russians had been skeptical about President Putin's highly publicized displays of environmental daring.
