I don’t listen to tripleJ, being more an ABC Classics kinda guy but they are wrong on the breakaway.

Take your word for it 

The Moronic also watches the Dubyne “Ice Age” videos religiously, the videos that predicted in 2015 that the North West Passage would be closed by “thick ice.” Dubyne quietly removed the video from his playlist after a huge cruiseship sailed through the NW Passage in 2016

Lies , damned lies and statistics!

·         Gore, aiming to undermine the significance of previous warm periods such as that of the Middle Ages, promoted the discredited 1,000-year “hockey stick” temperature chart (McIntyre & McKitrick, 2005).

·         Gore showed heart-rending pictures of the New Orleans floods and insisted on a link between increased hurricane frequency and global warming that is not supported by the facts (IPCC, 2001, 2007).

·         Gore asserted that today’s Arctic is experiencing unprecedented warmth while ignoring that Arctic temperatures in the 1930s and 1940s were as warm or warmer (Briffa et al., 2004). 

·         Gore did not explain that Arctic temperature changes are more closely correlated with changes in solar activity than with changes in atmospheric CO2 concentrations (Soon, 2005).

·         Gore did not explain that the Sun has been hotter, for longer, in the past 50 years than in any similar period in at least the past 11,400 years (Solanki et al., 2005).

·         Gore said the Antarctic was warming and losing ice but failed to note, that is only true of a small region and the vast bulk of the continent has been cooling and gaining ice (Doran et al., 2004).

·         Gore mentioned the breakup of the Larsen B ice shelf, but did not mention peer-reviewed research which suggests the ice shelf did not exist 1,000 years ago (Pudsey & Evans, 2001).

·         Gore hyped unfounded fears that Greenland’s ice is in danger of disappearing. In fact its thickness has been growing by 2 inches per year for a decade (Johanessen et al., 2005).

·         Gore falsely claimed that global warming is melting Mt. Kilimanjaro’s icecap, actually caused by atmospheric dessication from local deforestation, and pre-20th-century climate shifts (Cullen et al., 2006).

·         Gore made assertions of massive future sea level rise beyond any supposed scientific “consensus”, when in fact little increase in the rate of sea-level rise is to be expected in the coming century (Morner, 1995, 2004).

·         Gore implied that a Peruvian glacier's retreat is due to global warming, failing to state that the region has been cooling since the 1930s and other South American glaciers are advancing (Polissar et al., 2006). 

·         Gore blamed global warming for water loss in Africa's Lake Chad, though NASA scientists had concluded that local water-use and grazing patterns are probably to blame (Foley & Coe, 2001).

·         Gore inaccurately said polar bears are drowning due to melting ice when in fact 11 of the 13 main groups in Canada are thriving, and polar bear populations have more than doubled since 1940 (Taylor, 2006).

·         Gore said the ocean absorbs heat from the Sun, when in fact the ocean takes nearly all of its heat from the atmosphere, without which the ocean would freeze over (Houghton, 2004).

·         Gore said a review of 928 scientific papers had shown none against the “consensus”. In fact only 1% of the papers were explicitly pro-“consensus”; almost 3 times as many were explicitly against (Peiser, 2006).

·         Gore showed a link between changes in temperature and in CO2 concentration in the past 500,000 years, but did not admit that changes in temperature preceded changes in CO2 concentration (Petit et al., 1999).

I know what I heard, champ. I have no reason to lie. I'm not even a climate denier. I think Triple J were making the connection before a young, intellectually-lazy audience who haven't been raised to think for themselves.
