Moving on to the melting glaciers all over the world – one headline reads: ‘Melting glaciers reveal ancient treasures hidden for thousands of years’ and the journalist goes on to state that “fieldwork carried out by a team of archaeologists in Norway’s Mountains of Oppland is being assisted by melting glacial ice” and that “in an ironic twist, the forces of climate change and global warming seem to have done the work of helping to unearth ancient artifacts”.

The article describes how many artifacts, up to 4 000 years old, are being found as the glaciers melt. Wow! But hold on – the elephant . . . how did the artifacts end up deep in the ice, to begin with? Found next to an ancient path? The answer is that they were left in position before the ice froze over them, long before climate change. Or they were carried down the glacier in natural movement of the glacier. Which they were not, since the finding of the artifacts is described as ‘unusual’. So, the only conclusion is that, since the ice level was once the same as now, and since climate change can only occur in the last 100 years, climate change is a myth.

Moving on to sea-level rise. One website states that the sea levels off Cape Town will rise by up to 8 m by the end of this century. According to the reports, this rise will be entirely due to melting ice. But the elephant – sea ice floats on water and cannot affect the sea level. Increases must come from melting land ice. The European glaciers have now melted down to levels of 4 000 years ago, giving up all those artifacts.

If melting land ice (from Antartica) causes the sea to rise in Cape Town, the whole planet would have to slow down to balance the energy required to spin a greater mass of sea around Africa and surrounding locations. Surely, this cannot happen. But it would have to, if the sea levels are going to increase to 8 m above existing levels, will we have superhigh spring tides and superlow spring tides? Further, if this is all true, have the navy hydrographer tide tables changed from 50 years ago until now? I think not. Nope, the sea level rising . . . more myth.
