Re: Democrats Believe Antarctica Is Melting - Oops, Scientists Confirm South Pole Is Now Colder>The Southern Hemisphere polar ice cap for the month of April 2014 surpassed its greatest April extent in recorded >history. The new record extends a long-term expansion of the Antarctic ice sheet that defies alarmist claims that >global warming is or should be melting the polar ice caps. The ice sheet can't expand, Urban Cowpie. It ends at the water's edge. The ice sheet is melting. The maximum sea ice extent is expanding, but it melts every year, so it is an interesting phenomenon, but it doesn't mean the ice sheet is expanding, and it doesn't negate global warming. >Satellite instruments measuring the precise extent of the Southern Hemisphere polar ice cap report the polar ice cap >has been steadily growing for decades. Moreover, the combined extent of the Northern Hemisphere and Southern >Hemisphere polar ice caps have been above the long-term average almost uniformly since 2012. That's false. I have explained why. You found a blog that posted a false report and you fell for it. Your blogger is wrong. Why are you highlighting the statements of a blogger as if that makes them more important? Does Antarctic sea ice growth negate climate change? Scientists say no http://www.latimes.com/science/la-sci-antarctic-sea-ice-20140830-story.html#page=1 Esa's Cryosat mission sees Antarctic ice losses double http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-27465050 Increased ice losses from Antarctica detected by CryoSat-2 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2014GL060111/abstract Grow up! |
