All this melting is the reason Florida is being evacuated and people are forbidden to build along the shore. It isn’t being evacuated?

hmmmm, well, we get to keep all the money from scaring people, don’t we?

Looks like the extent is slightly greater in 2003 but in 2010 the density of ice is much greater than in 2003.

If the amount of ice lost between 2003 and 2010 covered the United States, the whole country would be under one-and-a-half feet of water

America is 2% of the world surface

2% of 18" = 3/8" of one inch. What is the tidal variant world wide?

You gotta love these nonsense screeds.

Melting polar ice means nothing at all. Just as the melting ice in a glass full of water won’t make it overflow, polar melting can’t make sea level rise.

Of course, no melting is occuring in the south. Ice is building higher day by day in Antarctica, and likely always will; it has never been different since the place was discovered. Expanding ice flows continue to fill the southern ocean with icebergs.

It melts in the summer and refreezes in the winter. Magically it happens just the opposite at the south pole. I love it when they show big pieces of ice breaking off in Antarctica in December and January right in the middle of the Antarctic Summer.

FTA: “ Fewer than 120 (0.075%) have had their mass balance (the sum of the annual mass gains and losses of the glacier or ice cap) directly measured, and for only 37 of these are there records extending beyond 30 years. Extrapolating this tiny sample of observations to all glaciers and ice caps is a challenging task that inevitably leads to large uncertainties.” So much for the hard science behind their ice-loss conclusions.

Less than previously thought, or maybe not at all, but certainly less than some cycles in the past, and whatever is needed to keep up the warming scam while Europe freezes.

If I am not mistaken, Lake Erie is our shallowest great lake. I’ll bet the melting would also be enough water to fill a gazillion football fields a foot deep.
