Government climate experts say sea ice is at the lowest level since records began in 1979. Or sometimes they say records began in 1981.

NOAA uses 1979 as their start date for sea ice records, calling it the beginning of the satellite era.

More than 60 scientists from around the world say Antarctic sea ice is at the lowest level since records began in 1979.

I’m 60 years old, and I know that humans have had satellites photographing earth for almost my entire life. The November, 1976 issue of National Geographic had a satellite image of Antarctic sea ice – which was essentially gone in January 1976, during the global cooling scare.

The same issue of National Geographic explained how Earth’s temperature was plummeting, Arctic sea ice was at it’s highest level in 40 years, and glaciers were expanding.

There was unanimous consensus that earth was cooling.

The 1990 IPCC report had NOAA Antarctic and Arctic sea ice satellite records back to the Early 1970’s. It showed that Antarctic sea ice extent was very low in the late 1970’s.

The Navy has been using satellites to map sea ice since the early 1970’s.

NOAA now pretends all of their satellite data prior to 1979 doesn’t exist, because it wrecks their fake graph showing Arctic sea ice linearly declining.

It is not a coincidence that government climate criminals throw out pre-1979 data. That was the coldest year on record in the eastern Arctic, and Arctic sea ice was at a century high.

In order to hide their malfeasance, NOAA and NASA now simply erase the prior warmth in the eastern Arctic by tampering with the data.

Government climate science is the biggest fraud in science history, and these crooks need to be shut down and shown the door.
