On thin ice?

Man-made global warming is in the news again, with seminaked protesters invading the House of Commons, and 180 climate “scientists” flying from around the world to Edinburgh to plan their next move. Yet more real data has recently emerged to challenge their beliefs.

Data from New Jersey’s Rutgers University reveals that average northern hemisphere December snow cover, when comparing the periods 1966-1970 and 2014-1018, has increased from 44.06 to 44.13 million square km.

Data from America’s National Oceanograp­hic and Atmospheri­c Administra­tion reveals that, when comparing the 20th to the 21st century to date, the average number of hurricanes to hit the continenta­l US per decade has fallen from 16.9 to 16.5, and their intensity has fallen from category 2.1 to 1.9.

Data from America’s National Snow and Ice Data Center reveals that, in a list of lowest maximum Arctic sea ice extent, 2019 had more Arctic sea ice than 2007 or 2006.

I’d like to hear the climate alarmists’ excuses for these revelation­s.
