![]() ![]() Why is Antarctic sea ice important? For no reason, except it’s bucked the disappearing trend of all the rest of the Earth’s ice. In 2014, as Arctic sea ice continued its death spiral, along with disappearing glaciers and ice sheets around the world in a year that would soon become the hottest on record, Rose tried to distract his readers by focusing their attention on Antarctic sea ice.

Both brag about the size of their hands, or rally audiences, or Facebook shares (they’re yuge). Rose’s reaction to the critiques of his first piece are quite reminiscent of Donald Trump’s responses to being called out for spreading misinformation. The few quasi-scientific points in Rose’s new piece are patently false. It’s another pedantic critique trying desperately to make a mountain out of less than a molehill. In his follow-up piece, Rose’s “ smoking gun” is that NOAA published its updated ocean temperature data 5 months later than it could have, to coincide with the 2015 global temperature data paper that incorporated it. So after a week full of rebuking and debunking from climate science experts and real science journalists, and after Rose’s own source walked back his criticisms and explicitly said there was “no data tampering, no data changing, nothing malicious,” how did Rose respond? Like any good propagandist, he doubled down. It was a giant nothingburger, or as NASA GISS director Gavin Schmidt called it, “ a NOAA-thing burger.” nnXCUrzrQB- Zeke Hausfather February 8, 2017ĭavid Rose’s sensationalist story claiming that “world leaders were duped into investing billions over manipulated global warming data” was entirely without scientific merit.

And we certainly got lots of company in Cape Coral and Lee County right now,” Pastor Olds said. And I think that that brings this bond of peace. “We’re all going through this together as a community. New tarps are covering the damaged sections of the roof where the water got through. Pastor Olds said the church plans on holding a service at the Cape Coral church location on Sunday. And so, you know, we can’t bellyache too much about the sanctuary, having some damage in it, because we are all experiencing the same trouble at the same time,” Olds said. “We have three campuses, Lee County and our Fort Myers Shores campus 20% of that congregation lost their homes due to the flooding. He’s just thankful progress is happening. Meanwhile, work is getting done and Olds doesn’t know how long it will take. “We started having rain inside the sanctuary, which is probably the last place we would ever want to see it rain.”Īround the church, you can see all the standing water from the storms. “When we were finally able to start the roof is when all those storms blew in last week,” Wes Olds, the lead pastor for Grace Church, said. ![]() It looks a lot different now in part because it’s missing a new roof. Ian damaged Grace Church off Hancock Bridge Parkway. However, storms this week blew the tarp they had off their roof, leading to water damage inside the church ever since, they’ve been scrambling to make repairs and prevent mold, all while the rainy season is ramping up. The lead pastor of Grace Church told WINK News they have all the materials they need and they have a great contractor. Although, they’ve had a significant setback. The church’s roof was hit and damaged by Hurricane Ian, and they’ve been trying to repair it. Rain is leaking onto church pews and stage equipment at Grace Church in Cape Coral, and with each passing storm, the flooding inside gets worse. ![]()
