Kinda Sort Of The Truth….Whooops

Kinda Sort Of The Truth….Whooops

Ok not that dramatic but damn, how much can you distort the truth? From my blog buddy the Feral Irishman.

Two weeks of unusually warm weather in the North Pole have caused a lake to form in mid-July. 
The meltwater lake is approximately a foot-deep. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, temperatures in early July were 2 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit higher than average over most of the Arctic ocean. 
July is the Arctic’s melting month, when sea ice shrinks the fastest.

FAST FORWARD A FEW WEEKS>……………………..

Well it seems like the AP has retracted their bogus claim:

 The Associated Press issued a formal retraction of a photo it published that claimed to show that a large lake had formed at the North Pole due to global warming.
In its retraction, the AP admitted that not only was the “lake” simply a small melt-pond but that it was natural, not due to global warming. The AP also admitted that the “lake” wasn’t even at the North Pole, explaining that the monitoring station where the photo was taken had drifted hundreds of miles to the south.

LINK to retraction ……. Damn shame they have to cover their collective asses.


Thanks to BUBBA for the leg work on this one.

The Washington Post

The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department yesterday from Consulafft, at Bergen , Norway

Reports from fishermen, seal hunters, and explorers all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes.

Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared.

Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds. Within a few years it is predicted that due to the ice melt the sea will rise and make most coastal cities uninhabitable.

I apologize, I neglected to mention that this report was from November 2, 1922, as reported by the AP and published in The Washington Post – 90 years ago.

Personally I think it is a political ploy dreamed up by Democrats to regulate and tax big oil and shut down coal fired power plants so they can blow a wad of cash on unproven and ineffective renewable energy sources.
 But how do you explain this?

 

Yeah, I can’t explain it either.
