Inhofe On Obama’s Climate Agenda: It’s About Fixing The ‘Embarrassment Of Copenhagen’
President Barack Obama’s global warming agenda isn’t about the environment, according to Sen. Jim Inhofe , it’s about saving face from the “embarrassment” the president suffered when trying to get countries to sign a climate treaty in 2009.
“The president’s so-called ‘Climate Action Plan’ has never been about saving the environment or the world from impending global warming doom,” the Oklahoma Republican said in a Wednesday hearing on a potential United Nations climate treaty. “It is about making up for the embarrassment of Copenhagen and solidifying his environmental legacy.”
Obama and other world leaders will meet in Paris later this month to kick off U.N. climate talks. Delegates are expected to come up with an agreement for countries to cut carbon dioxide emissions in the coming decades.…

…Flashback 1948: West Antarctic Ice Sheet Was Rapidly Melting – ‘Remarkable Thinning…Considerably Reduced’
But the NASA fraud is much worse than it seems. The Ross Ice Shelf in West Antarctica retreated 30 miles from 1840 to 1930, about five feet per day. The retreat “may have been going on for centuries”

Impact on sea level of Antarctic ice sheet collapse
BRITISH ANTARCTIC SURVEY
A new study by scientists in the UK and France has found that Antarctic ice sheet collapse will have serious consequences for sea level rise over the next two hundred years, though not as much as some have suggested.
This study, published today in the journal Nature, uses an ice-sheet model to predict the consequences of unstable retreat of the ice, which recent studies suggest has begun in West Antarctica. Scientists, led by Catherine Ritz from Université Grenoble Alpes in France and Tamsin Edwards from The Open University, predict that the contribution is most likely to be 10 cm of sea-level rise this century under a mid to high climate scenario, but is extremely unlikely to be higher than 30 cm. When combined with other contributions, that’s a significant challenge for adapting to future sea level rise. But it’s also far lower than some previous estimates, which were as high as one metre from Antarctica alone.…
German Meteorologist Klaus-Eckart Puls Calls Climate-Refugee Claims ‘Invented Stories’… UN IPCC Even Refutes
Puls reminds us that even the IPCC has found no basis to support the claim. A number of skeptics view the claim as a desperate stretch designed to divert attention away from the real reasons: abject social and foreign policy failure. Recently the IPCC backed off from the speculative claims of climate driven refugees.
Puls writes that the “UN IPCC took back its analyses and prognoses on climate refugees in its last 2013/14 report” and that “the steppes and deserts are in fact ‘greening’”. At EIKE he provides the following chart which clearly shows that Africa is greening and that it is all part of a natural cycle:
