Down in the Antipodes we are assailed (less repetitively than four years ago it is true) with portends of huge disasters coming our way. More often than not, the threats are supposed to come from Antarctica. Because the world is warming, don't you know, Antarctic sea ice will soon disappear. Not only will that inundate small islands in the Pacific and raise sea levels in Australia and New Zealand to the destruction of many coastal houses, it will also threaten shipping lanes in the south. Modern day Titanic-bane icebergs will disembowel ships at will. Commerce will be disrupted and many lives tragically lost. All due to the imminent catastrophe of global warming.
So, how's that Antarctic sea ice going?
Yup, definitely shrinking away to nothing. Nothing to see here. Move along, please. But it is not true, eminent, enlightened climate "scientist" that over the last 35 years billions and billions of tonnes of "new" carbon dioxide have been released by horrible mankind into the atmosphere, causing irrevocable global warming to the utter destruction of the race? Apparently, someone has forgotten to tell the Antarctic. For goodness sake, get down there and declaim to the ice its resistance to science.
Threaten it with extinction if it doesn't start to co-operate and extinguish itself.
