Ice in Antarctica is increasing
Check out the Helmholtz Association’s climate website, under the ambitious name “Climate Facts”, you will read the following: “Ice on Antarctica is disappearing, and it is getting faster and faster”. [emphasis, links added]
According to the Helmholtz Association, this is crucial for sea level rise. Indeed, sea level rise that melts Antarctic ice is one of the central arguments of climate policy, which has raised concerns.
This finding has led to the results of a recently published study that the Antarctic ice landscape has changed since 2021, and is even more eye-catching: the continental ice in Antarctica is increasing again.
Chinese researchers from Tongji University, led by Professors Chen and Wang, found that Antarctic ice has increased significantly since 2021.
Data from NASA's Grace satellite assessments ranged from 2002 to 2010, 74 billion tons were lost annually. The amount doubled from 2011 to 2020. Now, ice has grown by about 100.8 billion tons in a year.
As Antarctic glaciers melt contribute about 20% of sea level rise, a rate of decline has been observed since 2021. Isn’t this good news worth reporting? Not far away.
Germany's Tagesschau news or politics, the second good news for Berlin was not reported: Arctic sea ice has been around for more than 10 years.
A recent publication by Exeter University of Columbia University in New York and Mark England of Lorenzo Polvani has attracted attention to Arctic sea ice.
Researchers report that the decline of Arctic sea ice for decades and they expect to continue for at least the next 5-10 years.
Just in 2009, U.S. climate envoy John Kerry issued an alarm that the Arctic was free of ice in 2013. [see figure below].
Satellite measurements, along with subsequent stabilization and slight recovery, are well demonstrated by the decline of Arctic sea ice. The minimum for each September is used for comparison.
After warming in recent years, new declines are expected. But sea ice remains stable.
However, this clear measurement did not prevent news reports from Tagschu, Germany, saying that on March 28, 2025, the decline in sea ice continued, causing serious impacts on the climate system.
And, we are still paying for broadcast fees for this kind of false information, which is only politically.
Climate science in crisis?
Climate model predictions are increasingly deviating from reality. Axel Bojanowski spoke with two scientists from the Max Planck Meteorological Academy in Hamburg.
Professor Bjorn Stevens and Professor Jochem Marotzke talked about the climate science crisis. Marotzke Note:
“The current climate model has encountered too many contradictions with reality.”
Marotzke is concerned about the great uncertainty of the model. He cites the following example:
“In most parts of the world, the question of whether these models will rain more or less in the future is contradictory. The warming of the Earth’s surface between 1998 and 2012 is much slower than the model predicts (“Hiatus”).
“Since 1979, the eastern tropical Pacific has cooled, contrary to expectations for all models that simulate warming there.”
Regarding climate science, Marotzke talks about “another climate crisis.” “This is a time for paradigm shift.”
My impression is: Some smart scientists now realize that by pointing out firm statements of climate models, they have caused politicians to cause a lot of hardship to their people because they want to avoid the imminent disaster with totally inappropriate measures.
The UN statements will be remembered: “Only renewable energy is the exit from the highway to the climate hell.” – UN Secretary-General Guterres
or: “Greenhouse gas emissions are clearly causing global warming, with global surface temperatures higher than 1.1°C in 2011-2020 at the 1850-1900 level.” – IPCC 2023, Synthesis Report A1
Climate models “no longer reflect reality.”
These statements are based on the climate model required by Marotzke and require a paradigm shift because they no longer accurately reflect reality in a few years.
When will the country’s climate policy undergo a paradigm shift?
