Attenborough laments The Destruction of 800 Penguins “Because of Climate Change” – But Failed to Report Discovery of New Colony of 1.5 Million
VIA CHRIS MORRISON
Two seagulls eat a living Adélie penguin as a voice hint that the animal is a “coal mine canary” because of climate change. Welcome to the last episode of Frozen Planet IInarrated by Sir David Attenborough – and welcome to the day the long-loved, life-supported, finally-dead wildlife show is replaced by the World Economic Forum’s green agitprop world ‘Great Reset’.
A tearful ecologist, Dr Bill Fraser, told viewers that four decades ago, there were 20,000 adult Adélie people on an island in western Antarctica. He said there are only 400 breeding pairs left; Adélie penguins are an “indicator species” of climate change, he said. But for some inexplicable reason, neither he nor Attenborough find it relevant to note that, in 2018, satellites found a new colony of the Adélies in a remote area of eastern Antarctica with a population of more than 1.5 million.
Based on a report inside New York Times, the Adélies are not recent migrants to their homeland of the Danger Islands east of Antarctica. Photos taken by a seaplane in 1957 are said to show colonial boundaries at most of the same places. “We’re standing here watching climate change kill these Adélie penguins,” Fraser said. He’ll probably have to adjust to the ‘climate change’ comment if he’s lucky enough to find himself inundated with minor twists and turns in the east of the continent.
But all the animals more or less left Frozen Planet II in the final episode, which was shown last Sunday on BBC One, when Attenborough ran through almost every ice scare in the book of alarms. He said humanity must stick to the 1.5°C warming agreed at COP26, “no matter how challenging it may be”. Climate containment, a non-linear system that we have not perfected and in some parts negligible information is an absurd question. But Attenborough declared: “We can do it, we have to. Then there will be a future for the planet.”
The program began with Attenborough’s familiar claim that the ice caps were melting “faster than ever”. Of course, Attenborough couldn’t really know this. For one, the timeline is somewhat imprecise. But as we have seen in many The Daily Skeptic articles, tapes are highly cyclical. Two American glaciologists Laura Larocca and Yarrow Axford recently found that more than half of the glaciers and ice caps in the Arctic exist today, none or less than 10,000 to 3,400 years ago. At the time, atmospheric carbon dioxide ranged from 260 to 270 parts per million, compared with 410 ppm currently, so it’s hard to see what role carbon dioxide played in making them smaller. The scientists note that the modern ice extent of the Arctic is “one of the largest in the last 10,000 years”.
n volume 2, Attenborough made amazing statement that all summer sea ice in the Arctic could disappear by 2035. His claim appears to have been derived from predictions of climate models in a 2020 paper by a group of scholars working with the Center Hadley of the Met Office writes. But plans for any sailing around the North Pole may have to be put on hold. At the end of the September Arctic summer of this year, the US-based National Snow and Ice Data Center reported that the ice area was 4.87 million square kilometers, 1.54 million square kilometers above the point low in 2012. A gradual recovery has been evident since 2012’s lowest point, and this year is the 11th low on the recent satellite record.
Separable ice sheets and biblical levels of flooding are age-old favorites. Attenborough warns: “Calculations predict that nearly half a billion people living in coastal communities around the world will be displaced by floods by the end of this century. He added: “If the Greenland ice sheet were to slide into the ocean faster, this flood could have happened a lot earlier. It is likely that Attenborough cited the flood work of actuarial scientists working at Climate Central, who predicted similar figures in 2019. In terms of “high emissions” of carbon, Models show that 630 million people live in land below projected annual flood levels by 2100. “High emission paths” are often used by disasterists because they assume that global temperatures will about 3-4°C increase this century Since global temperatures have spent the first two decades of this century being low, there seems to be some way to go.
In 2019, Attenborough reported on a joint World Wildlife Fund-Netflix collaboration with walruses falling off a cliff in an episode of Our planet. Attenborough attributes the gruesome sightings on Russia’s Arctic Chukchi coast to “climate change”, although a nearby colony of polar bears offers a clearer explanation. Presenting his film to the wealthy and influential elite gathered at the World Economic Forum in Davos that year, Attenborough commented: “If people could really understand what was at stake , I believe they will enable businesses and governments to implement practical solutions . ” Then polar bear expert, Dr. Susan Crockford wrote a book about rights, Fallen Symbols: Sir David Attenborough and the Deception of the Hippocampus.
In Frozen Planet II, groups of chubby bears have been shown roaming in large packs on the Russian Arctic island of Wrangel. It has been said that without sea ice, bears cannot hunt seals, and they find other food including human food supplies. In fact, the film shows bears eating a walrus, which among them is said to be about 100,000 yen on the island at certain times of the year.
Crockford notes that it is can be refuted The story implies the struggle for survival caused by man-made climate change that leads to an ice death spiral at sea. In fact, the Chukchi Sea polar bear is “sudden development“, she reported. The sea ice along the coasts of Chukotka and Wrangel was “very thick” last summer, and on September 1 this year Wrangel was still surrounded by ice. Although the amount of sea ice has recently decreased, she goes on to report that more sunlight reaching open water for longer periods means more food for the entire Arctic food chain. . More food for fish and seals means more food for polar bears in the spring (when the ice is still plenty) and fatter bears means more healthy cubs, she said.
In Crockford’s view, the latest series is “deliberate emotional manipulation” aimed at making it acceptable for viewers to act on climate change. She is right, of course. The six-part series is primarily a political stunt designed to ensure acceptance of the vigorous lifestyle and economic changes that will be forced on the population through the Net Zero agenda. command and control. Very little effort has been made to explain that the climate is always changing, sometimes very rapidly, and that natural forces, many of them little understood, are at work. Instead, we believe that humans, a latecomer to Planet Earth, have the power to actually stop the climate. Data cherries are rife – the story of the Adélies penguin is a clear example. Many of the claims are anecdotal and highly emotional, and not subject to rigorous scientific scrutiny. As Crockford noted, those involved didn’t want to let scientific facts get in the way. “This counts as ‘climate change’ propaganda marketed as entertainment.”
