Last week the climate liars were claiming that missing sea ice was eroding away the Bering Sea coast of Alaska. It turns out that there is so much sea ice that they may run out of fuel this winter.
The ocean has frozen in Nome before last fuel barge made its delivery. Will we have enough fuel to last through the winter? We’ll find out.

Everyone knows that warm water freezes faster than cold water. It’s undeniable.
Apparently, it can sometimes:

I guess it’s something anyone can try at home; not that I have.
Ok.. so there is a trick to the equation: there ends up being less water to freeze, so I call foul on it
Sounds like you’re making fun of the science, which includes Nobel prizes. Yes, the warm water freezes faster. It’s counterintuitive, and complex of course, but I’ll try to simplify.
It’s the “Mpemba effect” (Dave’s link is to a serious article, not a joke article). In short, the warm water circulates faster, so its structure is going to change faster (think convection, evaporation, dissolved impurities, undercurrents, incomplete refrigeration, sublimation, overcurrents, wave impasses, atmospheric plasma interactions, and salinity segregations). It freezes faster. You have heard of “supercooled water” — it is ~0 degrees F, and liquid, unfrozen. Proof that getting very cold impedes freezing.
And these warmer oceans also cool the land, just as we have seen (and predicted, I might add). So this cooling is actually warming, but the public (little people) won’t necessarily understand this, so we need to change “global warming” to “climate change.”
OK, I’ve concluded that the above was a bad attempt at a satire.
I was trying to ridicule the Warmcold bit, and more importantly, trying to show the bad guys using manufactured complexity in an effort to support a ludicrous position… by obscuring the issue. See my comment on how the bs artists use “appeals to complexity” to derail skeptics.
Your idea about warmists’ appeals to complexity is spot on. These guys lay on the mumbo-jumbo double thick.
Hey eric! That was a spot on warmist impression. I was gearing up for scathing rebuttal, and now I’m going to have to seek out a real alarmist to mock.
Thanks, Joe and Gator. :’)
This was in my Readers Digest Junior Book when I was a kid!!
From memory, hot water freezes quicker because it has bubbles in it, or something, innit?
Reality bites
From the above facts I’ve learned that when I’m cold I’m actually hot, so on cold Florida winter days I really don’t need a coat to stay warm. I’m already warm, I just don’t know it.
FL? FL gets warmcold? Aren’t you underwater by now?
