Are you still here and still lying all the time?

:-)

[R Kym Horsell]

It alternates between lying and not just knowing the difference between
open water in summer and being ice free.
Either way, not the sharpest tool in the shed.

I still don't know or care whether climate change is real. I
strongly support carbon controls that will get the US out of
middle east wars and stop cars from dumping noxs and soxs into
the air next to bike lanes. Did you know you can taste those?
They turn to nitrogen and sulphur acids in your mouth and throat,
a horrid sour taste. And you can feel the acid burn in your lungs.

Even you are starting to suspect you are never right about anything
outside your area of expertise .... whatever that is.

Hadley have a seaice dataset back to the 1870s. Big surprise
summer seaice was less than winter seaice even back then meaning
there was some open water in summer. It was just less than the
amount of open water now.

various proxies.

Here's one I did from Hadley seaice intensity (converted to
summer seaice area) and the various PAGES2k proxies for the Arctic.

Despite what psycho liberals say, NO ONE believes that the climate doesn't
change.

Do you mean, "I still don't know or care whether climate change is caused by
man"?

Pollution IS a VERY different matter. If you smell and taste sulfur, that's
just the catalytic converters doing their job... burning off excess fuels, so
LESS pollution gets in the air.

CO² is NOT a pollutant.

@PeterDClack

Oceans have 260 times the mass of atmosphere & hold 94 per cent of all
accumulated heat/energy (atmosphere holds 1 per cent). Ninety-eight per cent of
atmosphere is nitrogen/oxygen - carbon dioxide .04 per cent (410ppm). Forecast
CO2 increase of 2.3ppm a year will change nothing.

=====

The ONLY problem CO² is causing, is that the climate alarmists are using it
falsely to fulfill their agenda. Temperature is NOT rising because of CO², and
they KNOW it.

Temperatures were as high or higher than today, before the Little Ice Age, and
they're using the END of that, for their baseline of what temperatures are
supposed to be.

OK... let's have MORE starvation and MORE people dying of diseases and
hypothermia, BOTH of which result from lower temps than we have now.

Cold weakens the body, allowing viruses to attack it more readily.

Can Cold Weather Affect Your Immune System? | RnA ReSet

https://rnareset.com/pages/can-cold-weather-affect-your-immune-system

How Cold Weather Affects Your Immune System. Now that you understand how the
immune system works, it's time to answer the question that scientists and
laymen have been asking for ages: does the cold weaken the immune system. Cold
weather and immune system response are interconnected for several reasons.

First and foremost, cold weather lowers the immune system's defenses because
there is a reduction in Vitamin D levels. In the winter, people receive less
Vitamin D because they aren't in the sun as much, and research states that
Vitamin D is needed for maintaining a healthy immune system.

Additionally, people spend more time indoors during colder months. Studies
suggest that viruses spread easier indoors and anywhere that people are forced
to be really close together.

Out in the Cold - Harvard Health Publications - Harvard Health

https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/out-in-the-cold

Out in the cold. January 1, 2010. No doubt cold weather can be hard on your
health, but there may be a silver lining or two. Winter and its chilly
temperatures are a mixed blessing when it comes to human health. We might not
appreciate it at the time, but cold temperatures perform a great public health
service by killing off disease-mongering ...

Numerous studies have shown that death rates peak this time of year. Blood
pressure increases during the winter, and, by some reckonings, 70% of the
wintertime increase in the death rate can be traced back to heart attacks,
strokes, and other cardiovascular causes of death. And, of course, flu season
is a winter event, and flu viruses spread more readily once the air is dry and
chilly.

Winter darkness, in a literal sense, may make matters worse. Sun-exposed skin
makes vitamin D, a vitamin that seems to have all kinds of health benefits.
During the winter, when days are short and the sun is at a low angle, levels of
the vitamin in the body tend to dip. Cold temperatures and low vitamin D
levels: that may be a bad combination.

As temperatures drop in the winter, weather-related health problems start to
rise. "The cold weather brings a number of risks, especially for older
adults," says geriatrician Dr. Suzanne Salamon, an instructor at Harvard
Medical School. Here are some of the ways you may be vulnerable this winter,
and how to fight back.

At risk: Immune system

During winter months, people spend more time inside and in close contact with
each other, such as in stores, malls, and restaurants. This means that the flu,
coughs, and colds are more easily spread.

What you can do: "Get a flu shot, wash your hands frequently with soap and
water or hand sanitizer, and cough and sneeze into the crook of your elbow, not
your hands," says Dr. Salamon.

At risk: Heart

Cold weather acts as a vasoconstrictor, which means it narrows blood vessels.
This raises the risk of heart attack.

What you can do: Dress warmly when going out, with a hat, gloves, and a warm
coat. Don't do any strenuous activity outdoors that may stress your heart, such
as shoveling snow.
