Biden Does NOT need a BILL to close the border
He only needs a PEN. Thats all he needed to open it.
Thats all he needed to close it. Thats all Trump needed.
Maybe this is just Proof Trump is better than Biden.

Stunning satellite images show summer ice cap is thicker and covers 1.7million square kilometres MORE than 2 years ago

The speech by former US Vice-President Al Gore was apocalyptic. ‘The North Polar ice cap is falling off a cliff,’ he said. ‘It could be completely gone in summer in as little as seven years. Seven years from now.’

Those comments came in 2007 as Mr Gore accepted the Nobel Peace Prize for his campaigning on climate change.

But seven years after his warning, The Mail on Sunday can reveal that, far from vanishing, the Arctic ice cap has expanded for the second year in succession – with a surge, depending on how you measure it, of between 43 and 63 per cent since 2012.

To put it another way, an area the size of Alaska, America’s biggest state, was open water two years ago, but is again now covered by ice.

The most widely used measurements of Arctic ice extent are the daily satellite readings issued by the US National Snow and Ice Data Center, which is co-funded by Nasa. These reveal that – while the long-term trend still shows a decline – last Monday, August 25, the area of the Arctic Ocean with at least 15 per cent ice cover was 5.62 million square kilometres.

This was the highest level recorded on that date since 2006 (see graph, right), and represents an increase of 1.71 million square kilometres over the past two years – an impressive 43 per cent.

Other figures from the Danish Meteorological Institute suggest that the growth has been even more dramatic. Using a different measure, the area with at least 30 per cent ice cover, these reveal a 63 per cent rise – from 2.7 million to 4.4 million square kilometres.

The satellite images published here are taken from a further authoritative source, the University of Illinois’s Cryosphere project.

They show that as well as becoming more extensive, the ice has grown more concentrated, with the purple areas – denoting regions where the ice pack is most dense – increasing markedly.

Crucially, the ice is also thicker, and therefore more resilient to future melting. Professor Andrew Shepherd, of Leeds University, an expert in climate satellite monitoring, said yesterday: ‘It is clear from the measurements we have collected that the Arctic sea ice has experienced a significant recovery in thickness over the past year.

‘It seems that an unusually cool summer in 2013 allowed more ice to survive through to last winter. This means that the Arctic sea ice pack is thicker and stronger than usual, and this should be taken into account when making predictions of its future extent.’

you will believe anything, dullard.  how does a photograph from space show the thickness of the ice, moron?  when you read that why didn't you realize that you were being played like the gullible loser you are?  98% of the world's experts agree global warming and climate change are real and that man has a large impact on it. period.  you are being pranked by your right wing masters.

OMG!!!!!

This will bring out the Climate Change Hoaxters and Alarmists out of the sewers and launch a barrage of "facts" and made-up charts
  to "prove" the contrary!!!!!!!  There will be non-stop posts by the usual suspects!!!!

Now, you've done it!!!!!!

(It's not fair to use the truth against these people!!!)

it shows nothing like that.  it is caused by ice melting from the increased oceanic temperatures on the bottom of these huge icefloes, spreading out and then refreezing at a much thinner rate but covering a wider area in some parts of the antarctic.  it has been explained many times.  the average ocean temperature keeps increasing every year, and has for the last 20 years in a row or so...

Where are we now?

The year 2013 provided more clarity about human-generated climate change than ever before. On 27 September
2013, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the Working Group 1 contribution to its
Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), which looks at the science of climate change. It is categorical in its conclusion:
climate change is real and man is the main cause.

The release of the first instalment of AR 5 came in the wake of an unusual number of severe weather-related
disasters, and at the head of an almost unbroken series of the hottest years on record, with the period 2000 to
2009 the warmest decade on record so far.

There are some basic well-established links:

The concentration of greenhouse gases in the earth’s atmosphere is directly linked to the average global
temperature on Earth;

The concentration has been rising steadily, and mean global temperatures along with it, since the time of
the Industrial Revolution; and

The most abundant greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide, is the product of burning fossil fuels.

Greenhouse gases occur naturally and are essential to the survival of humans and millions of other living things,
through keeping some of the sun’s warmth from reflecting back into space and making Earth livable. But it’s a
matter of scale. A century and a half of industrialization, including clear-felling forests and certain farming methods,
has driven up quantities of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. As populations, economies and standards of
living grow, so does the cumulative level of GHG emissions.

AR5 part 1 took stock of where we are and what we now know. For the first time, Working Group 1 could
provide a comprehensive assessment of sea level rise, and its causes, over the past few decades. It was also able
to estimate cumulative CO2 emissions since pre-industrial times and provide a CO2 budget for future emissions to
limit warming to less than 2 degrees C. About half of this budget was already emitted by 2011!

Thanks to the IPCC, this is what we know:

From 1880 to 2012, average global temperature increased by 0.85°C. To put this into perspective, for
each 1 degree of temperature increase, grain yields decline by about 5 per cent. Maize, wheat and other
major crops have experienced significant yield reductions at the global level of 40 megatonnes per year
between 1981 and 2002 due to a warmer climate.

Oceans have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished and sea level has risen. From
1901 to 2010, the global average sea level rose by 19 cm as oceans expanded due to warming and ice
melted. The Arctic’s sea ice extent has shrunk in every successive decade since 1979, with 1.07 million km²
of ice loss every decade.

Given current concentrations and on-going emissions of greenhouse gases, it is likely that by the
end of this century, the increase in global temperature will exceed 1.5°C compared to 1850 to 1900
for all but one scenario. The world’s oceans will warm and ice melt will continue. Average sea level rise is
predicted as 24 - 30cm by 2065 and 40-63cm by 2100. Most aspects of climate change will persist for many
centuries even if emissions are stopped.

We have scientists with FACTS on our side, and all Adams has is one photo from the National Enquirer.

Hmmmmmmm...
