I persist in misunderstanding why it is that seemingly so few seem capable of realizing that we very well could be close to the end of the present extreme interglacial…

You and me both.
I sometimes wonder if the whole CAGW/ Agenda 21/Sustainability/de-industrialization crap is all about reducing the majority of humans to the 18th century level so we haven’t got a snowballs change in Hades of migrating south as the glaciers advance and no decent weapons to fight with even if we do. I can not believe the Movers and Shakers in this world are oblivious to the fact we are nearing the end of the Holocene. Sort of puts a different light on the African and South American Land Grab doesn’t it?
The End of the Freedom to Travel in the USA
In one of her videos on Agenda 21, Rosa Koire, mentions the “pulverizing of roads,” a joint US/china project for a sterilization vaccine and using Global Warming as the scare tactic for implementing Agenda 21. (well worth seeing) Rosa worked for the California Department of Transportation in land takings (Eminent domain)

I wonder how long it will be before we will need “passports” just to leave town?
will watch it when the tennis is over – LOL.
meanwhile, a study published in the Journal of Climate, seems to go against the usual CAGW-associating propaganda, whether or not their findings are proven to be valid:
30 Aug: Australian: Matthew Denholm: Antarctic ice sheds light on big dry
EASTERN Australia is experiencing its driest period since the Middle Ages, according to a study that overturns the nation’s understanding of average rainfall.
Scientists at the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Co-operative Research Centre have used ice cores, drilled into the east Antarctic ice, to provide a record of the climate during the past 1000 years…
The resulting confidence in the correlation between low salt-ice concentrations in east Antarctica and rainfall in eastern Australia allowed the scientists to calculate a rainfall record stretching back to the year 1000. This data suggests rainfall in eastern Australia since 1920 is below the average of the past 1000 years.
The last similarly dry period was from AD1000 to 1260, in particular between 1160 and 1260, the year Kublai Khan became ruler of the Mongol Empire.
“In the context of the last 1000 years, it (eastern Australia) is a lot drier than normal,” Dr Vance told The Australian. “But we can see that there has been another dry period as well (ending in 1260).”…
“It is a leap — it is a proxy record, in that it tells us something about what really happened,” she said. “It is not an exact record like an instrumental record, but it is a significant finding. This (salts in Antarctic ice) is significantly related to rainfall in Australia.”
It was not possible to draw any definitive conclusions as to what caused the big dry that ended in 1260, or the present extended dominance of El Nino.
“We are pretty sure reduced rainfall is the result of increased or more frequent El Ninos during both periods, compared to the last 1000 years,” Dr Vance said. “The cause of those El Ninos is up for grabs.” While rising temperatures may be driving the present period of El Nino dominance, less was known about the period from 1160 to 1260…
Published in the Journal of Climate, the study is the work of the Hobart-based ACE CRC, Australian Antarctic Division and Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies.

From ABC – not a single word (in a very short piece) about AD1000 to 1260 or AD 1160 to 1260, in fact more an attempt to isolate the recent hundred years as something unprecedented:

OK then, here’s a Russian newscaster.
Does anyone know if this can be downloaded from anywhere. I can put up with the stop start stop start streaming.
Grrrr!
“waaaaaaaaah arctic ice waaaaaaaaaaaaah” seriously is that all you sniveling knuckle dragging alarmists can say? It’s like a broken f*cking record. By the way what’s happening in the antarctic?
That’s can’t put up with streaming.
Really, try reading a few hundred of the climate change papers published each year. Some are physics, some are biology, some are paleo. Take your choice or read a mixture. They are written by scientists from around the world and they all are “wrong.” (?). I assume that both the data and the analysis are wrong (?) The first climate science prediction that comes to mind is that “warming will be fastest in the arctic” which is supported by data that the “arctic sea ice is melting.” Oh, it seems that I read somewhere that there has been a great recovery of the sea ice following the 2007 record melt. Is that what this movie is about, the sea ice recovery? I’m getting ready for work and don’t have time to watch it right now but may have a view this evening.
If science does not back you up, nothing like a piece of fiction to redefine truth! Keep up the good work!
Arctic ice extent for August 29 from NIC:
2007. 5.04 M sq miles
2012. 5.93 M sq miles
@ur momisugly William McClenney
Yes, our climate has clearly shown that it is capable of extremes far beyond anything envisaged in IPCC reports. Am I somehow supposed to be reassured by the fact that sea levels have previously been between 6m and 52m higher than at present?
A film straplined ‘Every Global Warming prediction has proven to be science fiction’ is released in the week that the Arctice Ice extent hits a new low, already 0.8 million sq km below the prediction made by WUWT for the annual minimum.
Strawman.
I must have missed the Global Warming prediction of the Arctic (or Antarctic for that matter) sea ice extent in 2012.
Care to give a link?
On the other hand I quite distinctly remember predictions of an ice free Arctic Ocean every year after 2000, 2010, 2020 …
I do not remember predictions of an ice free Arctic Ocean starting in 1990, 1995 etc but would not be surprised if there are some too.
It makes me smile to see how all those CAGW believers carefully avoid to speak about Antarctic sea ice. Always 🙂
The prediction that ice will be melting is quite trivial, known for a long time (actually since Milankovitch) and needs no CAGW.
It has been melting for a long time, you know ? Exactly since the last Ice Age achieved its minimum.
Just get used to it – if the interglacial doesn’t brutally and unexpectedly end soon (what can’t be excluded) the ice will go on melting for a long time!
That’s what it always did during interglacials and this one is not an exception.
Eventually it may very well happen that Arctics will become one day completely ice free and if this interglacial is like an average interglacial, it will surely happen.
So what?
Please provide me with evidence of the CURRENT ice-free Arctic. Then when you are done please give me a reason or reasons as to the cause or causes.
Arctic runaway amplification speculation bites the dust.

Where has this come from? Who is behind it? Has anyone heard of this film before today? Smells fishy to me.

Yup, it’s all they have left now; bless ’em.
The first climate science prediction that comes to mind is that “warming will be fastest in the arctic” which is supported by data that the “arctic sea ice is melting.”
Well if this is the first “prediction” then you have a lot to learn.
The first prediction that should have come to mind was that “the Milankovich cycle predicts warming” and not surprisingly it is supported by the data about ice and for a MUCH longer time than only the 20th century.
And indeed in the warming phase of Milankovitch cycle, it is the high latitudes that change most. This si actually rather trivial, known since a long time and has been happening for millions of years regardless of “man made” CO2.
The first prediction and probably sofar the only one that has been substantiated, is that the temperatures should increase by about 0.3°C/decade (some predicted much bigger numbers).
And here the data don’t really suport that.
Biology makes certainly no predictions unless the one that it can predict a thing and its opposite simultaneously.
The place is missing to list all the stupidities that biology has “predicted” – a short research of this site will produce dozens of really amusing examples (the average size of some australian bird will increase in Paper 1 but it wil decrease in Paper 2. etc)
Here is the recipe how anybody can write a paper about biology and global warming.
1) Begin to say in introduction how horribly worrying is global warming
2) Choose a random parameter to measure (color of eggs, size of feet, height of bushes). The only important thing is that it changes. If it doesn’t change enough, choose something else.
3) Apply any kind of statistics on this. As you are ignorant in professional statistics like 99% of biologists, a least square regression will generally do.
4) Say that the trend you found is due to global warming.
5) To go sure repeat that this is worrying. The best among you will add that it is actually worse than we previously thought. Suggest that further research is necessary.
6) Submit and make sure that the reviewers are CAGW believers.
Publication and enthousiastic comments on Real Climate&Tamino’s guaranteed.
I just watched it and I think it’s a good effort but the clownish graphics and constant new age music playing in the background were a little too much for me. It’s almost like the director got bored with the material and decided to go crazy with Final Cut Pro. Nothing new here. And what’s with the creepy CG opening sequence where a team from the “United Nations Space Exploration” agency is viewing Earth from a space vehicle? Is that supposed to be a vision of our dystopian future if Obama wins a second term?
Anyway, I still consider The Great Global Warming Swindle to be the gold standard for skeptic themed films on the AGW topic. No other film even comes close except maybe The Greenhouse Conspiracy which in 1990 was a fairly groundbreaking documentary.
“If science does not back you up, nothing like a piece of fiction to redefine truth! Keep up the good work!”
yep, that’s how the cAGW bletheren do it. Time and time again.. a new fiction. Make it up as you go along, change your past predictions when they don’t come true.. oh ..it will in a few more years….

like that they had a few sources so websites could embed it to get word out.

What data?
Almost every paper supporting cAGW first assumes that the conclusion is true and then goes from there. The most common method is to base a paper on models. Of course, models are just the assumptions of the programmers and hence are not data.
The real data? Well, no warming this century, TOA radiation above what the models predict, historic examples of warming equal to or greater than present, etc., etc. Yeah, that’s the real data.
Gail C says: “I can not believe the Movers and Shakers in this world are oblivious to the fact we are nearing the end of the Holocene.”
I believe the movers and shakers are movers and shakers because they have spent their lives studying how to accumulate wealth and power and, to varying degrees, apply it to suit one’s purpose. With all things viewed through that lens, truth is not an objective. Instead, “facts” (true or not) are viewed as a means to further that end. Climate change has myriad opportunities in this light making it an ideal means to that end, providing, however, that it can be blamed on man and corrected by implementing costly rules and regulations. Thus the majority of the movers and shakers are not just on board, but enthusiastically on board.
Stunning – It was absolutely superb, the graphics are fantastic, the information is very well presented.

Just watched it. Well done and drives home the point: AGW is not science.
