I notice they don’t allow comments on their own site. Too bad.

So as it gets hotter in the Northern Hemisphere, ice melts faster in the Southern Hemisphere, which then freezes again making more ice. But in 85 years, it will melt again really fast, making double-plus-ungood things happen in the Northern Hemisphere.

The average high temperature in Antarctica in January, the warmest month of the year, is -18 degrees F, and the average low temperature in January is about -21 degrees F. If the temperature in Antarctica is -18 degrees F, it has to warm to 33 degrees F in order for ice to melt. So anywhere between -18 degrees F and +31 degrees F there will be no melting, regardless of the amount of warming. If it got to +31 degrees F, we would be in trouble, but that will take a lot longer than 85 years to add over 50 degrees to the temperature of Antarctica.

"By 2100 we will see dramatic reductions," says Lieser.

Can these guys set their models to the conditions of 1914, run a 100-year forecast, and have the forecast match what actually happened?

If they can, I'm certain we would have heard it trumpeted from the rooftops.

If not, their models are worthless.

It's been summer in the Antarctic for several months now.

The Southern Winter is June, July and August. Summer is December, January and February. So it's early spring time down there.

..pulling cold air onto the sea ice ...

You do not pull cold air. It is dense. It goes where it wants to go.

You know I might believe more of this crap, if they predicted this before it happened. When Al Gore won his Nobel, the thesis was more hurricanes will be created by Global Warming (since that was right after Katrina one of the worst hurricane seasons in decades), since then there have been fewer hurricanes than normal, so the new mantra is the storms will be fewer but bigger. Wash, rinse repeat.

I am willing to be a lot of money that “we” and he will not see anything in 2100. That is 86 years from now.

However, I do plan on being around to collect my be from anyone willing to take a chance. At 153 years of age I will probably be pretty cantankerous.

“Global warming” is a phrase that means whatever the libs say it means.

Nailed it. It’s part of a tactic to show the level of control over the populace by the Elites. The ability to spout flat-out contradictions to any observable fact, and not be questioned, demonstrates their level of control. Of course where this goes off the rails and results in mass death is when Elites begin to believe their own B.S. and think they have achieved godhood; by stating something, it makes it so.

If you boil water long enough, it turns into ice. It’s magic like that—just like global warming freezing the joint up.

What can’t global warming do??? It’s almost like magic. Maybe a better word is fantasy.
