Yay! Global Warming will svae the ice caps, praise global warming!!1 Wait, wot?
It's been summer in the Antarctic for several months now.
It's the emperor's new clothes technique - old as storytelling.
...
"The extra sea ice is a good thing, as it reflects sunlight and slows global warming."
So, global warming stops global warming...? I fail to see how its a problem then.
Unproven hypotheses are not science, Professor Abram. And by the way, how come NONE of the global warming models predicted this phenomenon, if it is true?
But...but....the global warming crowed is telling us that the reason warming appears to have stopped over the last 15 years is because the ocean is acting as a giant heat sink and disquising true atmospheric pressure. It that was true then the the Southren hemisphere should be melting at record levels. These guys are going to sprain their brains with all the mental gymnastics they go through trying to explain away why their theories don't conform to the observable data.
“By 2100 we will see dramatic reductions,” says Lieser.”
No kidding. Then by 2150 we will see another record in the amount of sea ice. It rises and it falls. These people are blithering idiots.
That’s the problem with a “new scientist”. The cycle of alternating size in the two polar regions has long been known and recorded.
Well of course. Us not “super sophisticated” rubes are too stupid to understand the dynamics involved. Oh yeah. Did the clowns go back and pick up their trash from Sunday’s farce? Or did the corporate sponsors have it done for them. You know, kellogs, starbucks and the list goes on.
my cat ran away last night
you know why? yep- global warming
The important thing to understand is that global warming is only said to be responsible after the fact. The global warming “experts” have never been able to accurately predict anything. They have always been wrong. Their only ability is to create phony after the fact explanations.
You gotta cut to the chase.
There has to be global warming, and it has to be caused by humans,
else most leftist sheeperals have no cause for their own self-righteousness.
This is the secret. Express all of your predictions beyond the range of human adult lifetimes, ignore empirical data, and proclaim your computer models to be beyond reproach. Then all you need do is deposit the checks that the government keeps sending you to make these ridiculous statements.
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.
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.
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.
Well, what else could it possibly be?
bullshit bump
