Maybe the ice caps won’t melt and rising oceans won’t swamp islands and coastal cities. From Joel Bowman at joelbowman.substack.com:
Record breaking ice growth at the End of the World…

Joel Bowman with today’s Note From the End of the World: Syros, Greece…
Uh oh…
Bad news, dear reader… at least, if you’re a card-carrying member of the Professional Catastrophist Community (PCC). The latest, from SciTechDaily:
Antarctica’s Astonishing Rebound: Ice Sheet Grows for the First Time in Decades
The article goes on to reveal a disturbing trend reversal in ice sheet coverage down at the other End of the World:
Mass changes across the Antarctic ice sheet have been detected using satellite gravimetry, revealing significant instabilities in major glacier basins of East Antarctica as well as across the entire ice sheet.
The Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) plays a major role in global sea-level rise. Since March 2002, the GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) mission and its successor, GRACE-FO (GRACE Follow-On), have provided valuable data to monitor changes in ice mass across the AIS.
Previous studies have consistently shown a long-term trend of mass loss, particularly in West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula, while glaciers in East Antarctica appeared relatively stable. However, a recent study led by Dr. Wang and Prof. Shen at Tongji University has found a surprising shift: between 2021 and 2023, the AIS experienced a record-breaking increase in overall mass.
Wait, what? The Antarctic Ice Sheets are… growing? A “record-breaking” increase?
My favorite is that the climate cultists will be unhappy if the worst case scenario is avoided.
No money and control in that.
