What lost ice bridge was that, again?
Pretty much central to climate alarmism is the collapse of the Weddel Ice Shelf on the east side of the Antarctic Peninsula, and of the Wilkins Ice Shelf, on the west side of that peninsula. The particular moment of horror that made it into the media was when the Wilkins ice bridge gave way.
The Wilkins ice bridge, that linked Charcot Island to the Antarctic Peninsula, collapsed on 2 April 2009. See here for the just before image and here for the just after one. They are spectacular. The latter loads slowly, sorry about that .
The world's media went whoopee, and yelled its head off, that this was human-driven global warming at its most awesome.
But as the map shows, that bridge was bang in the centre of the most tightly focussed and largest temperature trend shift on the planet, taking the last 44 years. One that coincides pretty exactly with the biggest shift in the vertical geomagnetic field of the same planet, in the last fifty years and more.
And you cannot, squirm as you will, explain those two overlapping bulls eyes with anthropogenic greenhouse warming.
You are being sold a furphy of gigantic proportions. I think. If you want to put you pension on a dead horse, go for it. You can wait to throw your carbon cap in the air, until it comes home.
