CHATGPT IS YOUR STANDARD CLIMATE SCIENTIST…
Cap from Electroverse posted an interesting article by asking Chat GPT to answer a few questions on topics that the MSM and the Man Made Climate Change believers use as arguments. Scientists already know the answer, for example, the Polar Bear population is expanding etc.
Cap, like myself, is pretty well informed when it comes to climate change (which is not man-made). Personally, I have over 30yrs weather pattern analysis and climate pattern analyses “under my belt” and I can assure you….. Climate Change is not caused by CO2. It is a repeating cycle more likely influenced by the sun than humans and CO2, well that is a fact actually.
The approach.
I use ChatGPT 4 (beta), with plugins. The ChatGPT May 12 version. I am going to ask it the same questions Cap from Electroverse asked and I include a plugin called SEO.app. Lets see how we go
What was the polar bear population in the 1960s?
Answer from ChatGPT
I’m sorry, but as an AI model developed by OpenAI, I don’t have real-time data access, including specific historical data such as the polar bear population in the 1960s. However, I can tell you that polar bear populations have been generally declining over the past few decades due to climate change and loss of sea ice habitat.
In the 1960s, the polar bear population was likely higher than it is today, but exact numbers from that time period are hard to come by due to the remote and inaccessible nature of their habitat.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information, I would recommend checking with scientific research organizations or wildlife conservation groups.
Note: in the electroverse article ChatGPT answered with a number of 20,000 to 25,000.
What is the polar bear population today?
Answer from ChatGPT
As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, I don’t have the exact current data.
However, according to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the global polar bear population was estimated to be between 22,000 and 31,000 in the last few years leading up to 2021.
This number is a rough estimate due to the difficulty in accurately counting polar bears in their vast, remote, and inhospitable habitats.
For the most current and accurate information, I recommend checking the latest reports from organizations like the WWF, IUCN, or the Polar Bears International.
Note: it does not have the numbers from 1960, although they are available. It does quote numbers provided leading up to 2021. Needless to say that ChatGPT still has a bias towards MSM credo and publications, instead of real science.
It has no value to continue asking about polar bears.
Is winter snow cover in the northern hemisphere increasing or decreasing?
ChatGPT answer
As of my last update in September 2021, the general trend for winter snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere has been decreasing. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), while there is considerable year-to-year variability, the overall trend shows a decrease in snow cover extent since satellite observations began in the late 1960s.
This decrease in snow cover is largely attributed to global warming. Rising temperatures lead to increased instances of precipitation falling as rain instead of snow, particularly in the shoulder seasons (late autumn and early spring). Additionally, warmer temperatures lead to earlier melting of the snowpack.
However, it’s important to note that regional variations can occur. Some areas may experience increased snowfall due to changing weather patterns, even as the overall trend is towards less snow cover.
For the most current and accurate information, I recommend checking the latest reports from organizations like the NSIDC or the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Note: Again, this is false. Record after record of snowfall and cold records are broken year after year. Obviously, this aligns with the grand solar minimum because the MSM is not reporting on snow and cold records but hyping up heating records. Based on that fact, you cannot blame ChatGPT to be providing biased and incorrect data.
According to climate.rutgers.edu, snow cover has seen an uptrend since 1967…?
This is where SEO.app kicked in due to the link, I guess, and actually retrieving the data.
ChatGPT answer
Based on the information from the Rutgers University Climate Lab (RUCL) and the Office of the NJ State Climatologist (ONJSC), it appears that there has been an uptrend in snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere since 1966. This conclusion is drawn from unique sources of data regarding Northern Hemisphere snow cover dating back to 1966, which are available at the Rutgers University Global Snow Lab (GSL).
The GSL has been tracking snow and ice areas in the Northern Hemisphere on a weekly basis since 1966, in collaboration with NOAA. This effort continues today, making it the only such hemispheric product. The data collected over these years has shown an increasing trend in snow cover, contrary to some expectations given the global warming phenomenon.
The ONJSC and the Rutgers New Jersey Weather Network (NJWxNet) also provide valuable resources for understanding climate trends. The NJWxNet is a unique collection of hourly environmental data from weather stations in and around New Jersey, providing a comprehensive view of the state’s weather and climate patterns.
The responsibilities of the ONJSC include collecting and archiving climate data, maintaining an active research program pertaining to New Jersey’s climate, and providing climate education and information to the citizens of New Jersey through various outreach programs.
Will global warming lead to reduced snow cover, overall?

ChatGPT answer
The relationship between global warming and snow cover is complex and multifaceted. While it might seem counterintuitive, global warming can lead to both increased snowfall in some regions and decreased snow cover overall.
Global warming leads to warmer air, and warmer air can hold more moisture. This can result in more intense snowfall events when conditions are cold enough. However, these conditions are becoming less frequent as global temperatures rise. This is especially true in the shoulder seasons (late autumn and early spring), where rising temperatures are causing precipitation to fall as rain instead of snow.
Moreover, even when snow does fall, warmer temperatures can lead to it melting more quickly, reducing the duration of snow cover. This is particularly evident in the spring, where warmer temperatures are leading to earlier snowmelt.
The overall trend, as indicated by research and data from various sources, including the Understanding Global Change project at Berkeley, the US EPA, and the NOAA Climate.gov, is a decrease in snow cover extent over the past few decades. This trend is particularly pronounced in the spring and summer months.
However, it’s important to note that there are regional variations and complexities. Some areas may see increased snowfall due to changing weather patterns, even as the overall trend is towards less snow cover.
In conclusion, while global warming may lead to increased snowfall in certain conditions and regions, the overall impact is likely to be a reduction in snow cover due to warmer temperatures and earlier snowmelt.
So global warming is expected to reduce winter snow cover, overall?
ChatGPT answer
Yes, that’s correct. As global temperatures rise due to global warming, the overall expectation is that winter snow cover will decrease. This is because warmer temperatures increase the likelihood of precipitation falling as rain rather than snow. Additionally, even when snow does fall, it is likely to melt more quickly due to the higher temperatures. This is particularly true in the shoulder seasons (late autumn and early spring), where rising temperatures are causing precipitation to fall as rain instead of snow.
However, it’s important to note that there can be regional variations and complexities. Some areas may see increased snowfall due to changing weather patterns, even as the overall trend is towards less snow cover. Also, in some colder regions, warmer temperatures can lead to more snowfall because warmer air can hold more moisture. But even in these cases, the snow is likely to melt faster, leading to a reduction in snow cover over time.
In conclusion, while there may be exceptions and variations, the general trend associated with global warming is a reduction in winter snow cover.
So why is the reputable Rutgers snow lab data showing the opposite?

ChatGPT answer
The Rutgers University Climate Lab (RUCL) and the Office of the New Jersey State Climatologist (ONJSC) provide valuable resources for understanding climate trends. The ONJSC serves as the state focal point for activities pertaining to the climate of New Jersey. Its responsibilities include collecting and archiving climate data, maintaining an active research program pertaining to New Jersey’s climate, and providing climate education and information to the citizens of New Jersey through various outreach programs.
One of the unique resources provided by the RUCL is the Rutgers University Global Snow Lab (GSL). The GSL has been tracking snow and ice areas in the Northern Hemisphere on a weekly basis since 1966, in collaboration with NOAA. This effort continues today, making it the only such hemispheric product. The data collected over these years has shown an increasing trend in snow cover, contrary to some expectations given the global warming phenomenon.
The Rutgers New Jersey Weather Network (NJWxNet) also provides valuable resources for understanding climate trends. The NJWxNet is a unique collection of hourly environmental data from weather stations in and around New Jersey, providing a comprehensive view of the state’s weather and climate patterns.
The data from the Rutgers Snow Lab showing an uptrend in snow cover since 1966 is a reminder of the complexities of climate science. While the general trend due to global warming is towards reduced snow cover, there can be regional variations and other factors that lead to different trends in specific areas or over specific time periods. This is why it’s important to consider multiple sources of data and to understand the specific methodologies and contexts of each source.
The Rutgers snow lab data refers to the entire Northern Hemisphere, it isn’t regional. It shows a clear increase in winter snow cover since 1967. The only conclusion, surely, is that the global warming theory has this aspect wrong…?
ChatGPT Answer
The data from the Rutgers University Global Snow Lab indeed shows an increase in snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere since 1967. This might seem to contradict the general expectation that global warming would reduce snow cover. However, it’s important to understand that climate science is complex and involves many different factors.
Global warming refers to the long-term increase in Earth’s average temperature due to human activities, particularly the emission of greenhouse gases. While this overall warming trend is expected to lead to reductions in snow cover in many areas, it can also lead to increased snowfall in certain conditions. Warmer air can hold more moisture, which can lead to more intense snowfall when conditions are cold enough.
Furthermore, climate and weather patterns can vary significantly from year to year due to natural variability, and it’s possible for short-term trends to differ from long-term expectations. It’s also important to note that snow cover can be influenced by factors other than temperature, such as changes in wind patterns and humidity.
In conclusion, while the data from the Rutgers Snow Lab is valuable and provides an important perspective, it does not necessarily contradict the theory of global warming. Rather, it highlights the complexities and nuances of our climate system. For a comprehensive understanding of climate change and its impacts, it’s important to consider multiple sources of data and to understand the specific methodologies and contexts of each source.
Conclusion
I ran this little test because the team of SEO.app asked for it. From what I gather, SEO.app does what it needs to do and does it well.
Using ChatGPT (without the SEO.app plugin) to write factual, well-researched article is a waste of time. The reason is that ChatGPT does not have a NON-BIASED VIEW. It will not provide you with an opposite view of what the MSM et.al wants you to have, it is just an extensions on of the Main Stream Media indoctrination if you like. It is truly that simple.
So basically it is useless. It writes nice articles that might or might not rank well on Google. Anything that ranks at Google is in line with the views of Google. Write a factual article about the increase of polar bears, and you will show up on page 10 or lower.
ChatGPT, is not doing research, nor does it provides original information, in my view. It merely collects data, uses the “keywords” (for lack of better terms) and mixes those into good-looking answers. Basically, it builds an answer out of snippets and presents it in a form you might like.
Is it clever enough to understand “corruption” and “bias” in the information used and as such, alter the answer in a non-biased way? I do not think so.
It is just an information aggregator, with garbage in and garbage out.
Now as for SEO.app, the plugin extracts the keywords and meta description from the article used by ChatGPT. This is helpful as you can use that to do further research, as such I will continue to use the SEO.app. I am quite happy with the SEO.app plugin.
Get the truth.
Using TruthGPT, you can have a properly researched “conversation”. Compared to ChatGPT, which is just another “rechew” application, TruthGPT is miles ahead when finding factual answers.
