BBC Arctic Scare is Based on Ice Survey Stunt
The BBC reports that the Arctic Ocean could be ice free in as little as 10 years time, based on the ‘Catlin Ice Survey’ stunt (‘update’ here). There’s more from Anthony Watts here on the scientific joke of 2009. I think that anything involving ‘Climate Charlie’ and the ‘WWF’ is highly suspect. (WWF seem to have been infiltrated, like the RSPB, by those who are using the demonisation of CO2 for a political agenda that has little to do with conserving wildlife.)
Still, 10 years is an improvement on Gore’s Davos warning that ”North Pole ice caps “could” disappear during summer within 5 years” (2012). Not long to wait to verify that particular prediction, as also stated in National Geographic. Climate scaremongering seems to be a moving target.

“The leftist ‘WWF’”.
Honestly, you can’t make stuff like this up!
The inspiration behind the WWF was two deep undercover Marxist agitators – the late Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands, a former SS officer and our very own Prince Philip the Duke of Edinburgh.

I wasn’t referring to figureheads/patrons, but those in charge of WWF policy. I removed ‘leftist WWF’ in order to be a little more explanatory. WWF started out as a creditable organisation, but the focus on CO2 is a lousy way to conserve wildlife, and owes more to the political leanings/agendas of those pushing climate alarmism as a means to an end, not related to wildlife.

You should research the WWF in a little more detail. Bernhard and Philip were more than just figureheads. It was they in the early 1970′s who personally recruited 1,001 members from among their upper crust friends each paying £10,000 for the privilege of joining the WWF’s elite 1001 club.
The WWF haven’t been infiltrated by anyone. European and US elites are the ones behind the demonisation of CO2. Their approach, as we have seen repeatedly, relies exclusively on Malthusian myth and pseudo-scientific fabrication.

Good idea Tom, you have now linked “Marxist agitators” with Prince Bernhard and Prince Philip in Google….
