From the redorbit.com article - "Scientists predict global average temperatures will rise by 1.8 and 4.0 degrees Celsius this century. They blame the increase on fossil fuels used for transportation and power.

The WWF predictions are based on the hypothesis that average temperatures will rise by 2.0 degrees Celsius by 2042."

And I thought the IPCC report was only postulating a temperature increase on the order of 0.7 degrees Celsius? So, aren't they taking this to even a greater extreme for this?

Liars, cold-blooded, deliberate, confidence men.
The author of the post didn't even peel back all the layers of this deception.
For while it is true that Antarctic sea ice (and Arctic sea ice for that matter) is at record extent with no sign of retreating as southern hemi winter sets in, if you were to accept the lie that polar ice is melting away to nuthin, in the real world this would cause a veritable bumper crop of phytoplankton and zooplankton, because these sea creatures which normally cling precariously to life adhered to the underside of the ice waiting out the winter, just like any other plant bloom bigtime when the ice pack thaws letting in the sunlight.
In other words, if the "dire" situation of minimum sea ice were to occure, this would be a blessing for whales, walrus, sea lion, penguin, cod, shrimp, crab, lobster, just about every living thing that calls Antarctica home.

Here is another good one; In Nature an article warning how melting ice is releasing DDT and endangering the penguins!!!!!

Actually, someone in the WWF is probably dating the whale researcher who’s in desperate need of some research funding to keep going. A well-timed article could allow him to tap the vast spigot of “Big Green.” Cold be that no one is being dishonest. He’s just crafted his own reality wherein he truly believes this to be the case, or at least the potential research dollars have contributed to the myopia. And person at WWF accepts uncritically anything that supports “the consensus” they all believe in.

That SH Sea Ice Anomaly chart looks a lot like a hockey stick.

They're just priming the publicity pump in preparation for their lawsuit when the whales are declared endangered, or whatever.

Facts are irrelevant to environmentalists. The movement has become a religion, and not a very well founded one.

Outright lying?

Let's just say I had no idea the Gulf of Tonkin was in Antarctica.

Maybe neither.

They are so invested in and indentured to the AGW idea that they can no longer either comprehend what truth is or handle any dissonant data. There brains just can't process that which doesn't support their core beliefs. They have locked in and fixated on "the idea"

Maybe the doctors could investigate and find there is a new medical condition . . . let's call it "Goreacle Syndrome"
