Warmer Air May Cause Increased Antarctic Sea Ice Cover

Um...it's WINTER in the Antarctic. Shouldn't we be seeing hysterical articls about how ALASKA IS MELTING, now that it's summer in Alaska?

However, findings from our simulations suggest a counterintuitive phenomenon.

The correct headline would read:

Environment Not as Simple as Environmentalists

[atlanta67]

so which is it?

global warming causes melting and seal level increases or global warming causes MORE ice?

these socialist environmentalists cant even keep their story stright

[Shermy]

"Our goal as scientists is to collect hard data to verify what the model is telling us."

LOL! Naturally inventing the model first is handsome money sitting in an office.

"We used computer-generated simulations to get this research result."

Whatever.

[nuconvert]

" warmer air temperatures from greenhouse gas emissions may actually increase sea ice volume in the Antarctic's Southern Ocean."

LoL. They're covering all the bases!

The headline should read BUSH'S TRASHING OF KYOTO HAS DOOMED THE EARTH TO BECOME A DESERT/WATERWORLD/FROZEN WASTELAND DUE TO THE GLOBAL WARMING CAUSED BY THE EEEEEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEEEEL AMERICANS"

Then a body to the story wouldn't have been necessary.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEEEEL

Wasn't he the guy that jumped stuff on his motorcycle?

[Shermy]

Context: Often reported is the the arctic ice thinning. But Antarctic ice is increasing. How does this comport with global warming? Not "intuitively" on a simple figuring. But the model, and the money, needs a finding of global warming, so they create a "model" showing one.

[cake_crumb]

"global warming causes melting and seal level increases or global warming causes MORE ice?"

Both, apparently. They have to do something. Every time some nasty scientist shoots a hole in their religion, they have to come up with something else to patch the hole with, just to keep it hovering above ground like a half-dead helium balloon.

"Naturally inventing the model first is handsome way to make money sitting in an office."

edit.

[Leo Carpathian]

"However, findings from our simulations suggest a counterintuitive phenomenon. Some of the melt in the Arctic may be balanced by increases in sea ice volume in the Antarctic."

Maybe they are stooopid and have nothing better to do. Simulate this!

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[hsalaw]

"I hope that in the future we'll be able to verify this result with real data through a long-term ice thickness measurement campaign,"

Stooopid? Yes. "Real data" will take, what, a thousand years?

[olezip]

From hence forth you will see everything blamed on "global warming" greenhouse gases. Once you start illogic, anything can be said. ...more JUNK science IMHO.

"Wasn't he the guy that jumped stuff on his motorcycle?"

Well, don't tell anyone, but he was only one of a HUGE cadre of EEEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEEEEEL capitalista, bound and determined to choke Gaia's atmosphere with greenhouse gasses from the patented, EEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEEEEL internal combustion engine!

From thirty to twenty years ago, these dastardly creeps planned to turn Earth into a GIGANTIC SAHARA DESERT, so they could feed their inhuman LUST for ROLLER DERBY TOURNAMENTS!!

TEN years ago, these heirs to Snidely Whiplash changed their twisted minds! They chose to turn Earth instead into a Waterworld!!

Today their EEEEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEL cabal plans to turn global warming into global COOLING, bring on the next Ice Age in three months!!!

SEE?!? SEE what EEEEEEEVEEEEEEL criminals poor Gaia is up against?!?!?!?

Don't ya just wanna CRY in sympathy?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

ROFL!!!!

[Adiemus]

And the commie-quasi-scientist said to the other one, "The sky is falling? The sky is falling!"

And it's all Bush's fault!

[cake_crumb]

" 'Real data' will take, what, a thousand years?"

And don't forget, hundereds of BILLIONS of dollars.

These people aren't totally stupid. They have a better chance of using a disaster scenario to get multiple government grants to "study" the problem, giving not only themselves but their antecessors jobs for life. It' s a whole new industry, based upon the welfare donations of the accused nations, which naturally fork over all the bucks they demand just to prove our innocence.

Is China, the world's largest polluter, subect to the rules of Kyoto? No, it is not.

[TC Rider]

Oh NO! We're not doomed.

Not doomed!

NOT DOOMED!
