THE ICE MAN COMETH….ANTARTIC ICE SETS ALL TIME RECORD IN GROWTH AND MORE NEWS FROM CLIMATE DEPOT
- Antarctic Ice Sets New All Time Record For Growth In October: ‘What makes the new record so astonishing is that it was set in October, on the 1st. Climatologically, the maximum extent is reached on 22nd September, so it is most unusual for the ice still to be growing 10 days later’
- Antarctica Set A Third All-Time Record While Government Was ‘Shutdown’
- New Study: ‘The Positive Externalities of Carbon Dioxide’: ‘Estimating the Monetary Benefits of Rising Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations on Global Food Production’
‘The results indicate that the annual total monetary value of this benefit grew from about $20 billion in 1961 to over $160 billion by 2011, amounting to a total sum of $3.5 trillion over the 50-year period 1961-2011. Projecting the monetary value of this positive externality forward in time reveals it will likely bestow an additional $11.6 trillion on crop production between now and 2050’
- New paper finds warming improves plant health and fruit production – Published in Global Change Biology – Simulates the effect of global warming on plants grown in the field and ‘finds that plants exposed to elevated temperatures flower earlier,… flower at a larger vegetative size, suggesting that warming probably causes acceleration in vegetative development’
- Matt Ridley: ‘Don’t Panic’ — ‘Why climate change is good for the world’ – ‘Warmer temperatures do more good than harm’
‘Climate change has done more good than harm so far and is likely to continue doing so for most of this century. This is not some barmy, right-wing fantasy; it is the consensus of expert opinion.’

- Climatologist Dr. David Legates: Climate Alarmists Seek Shelter From Public Storm: ‘When the data consistently conflict with their hypothesis, reputable scientists revise the hypothesis. Five-alarm climate scientists desperately seek new shells, and new excuses’
- Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry: ‘The IPCC’s statements of 95% confidence that most of the warming is anthropogenic, and expectations of substantial warming between now and 2036, has the IPCC skating on very thin ice, in my opinion’
- Five Deadliest Bay Of Bengal Cyclones Occurred With CO2 Below 350 PPM — ‘The deadliest one in 1970 was blamed on global cooling at the time’
- ‘The US has had no hurricanes and one minimal tropical storm this summer. In 1886, the US was hit by seven hurricanes. As CO2 has increased, the number of hurricanes striking the US has decreased’
- Fewest US Tornadoes On Record
- Fewest US Forest Fires In Three Decades
‘The fire season is probably over, with no large fires burning and below normal temperatures in the west. The US had less than 40,000 fires this year – the smallest number since 1984.’
