Climate's changed before
It's the sun
It's not bad
There is no consensus
It's cooling
Models are unreliable
Temp record is unreliable
Animals and plants can adapt
It hasn't warmed since 1998
Antarctica is gaining ice

Skeptical Science New Research for Week #10, 2020

Posted on 11 March 2020 by Doug Bostrom

Emerging features of climate change

The known range of knock-on effects commensurate with a warming climate continues to expand. In the Arctic, the transport of ice may result in secondary features including redistributed contaminants finding their way to other countries. DeRepentigny and others plot two possible outcomes as the 21st century progresses, in Increased Transnational Sea Ice Transport Between Neighboring Arctic States in the 21st Century, an open access paper.
