Updated NASA Data: Global Warming Not Causing Any Polar Ice Retreat (since 1979)
Forbes ^ | May 19, 2015 | James Taylor

Posted on 05/20/2015 9:31:25 AM PDT by Zakeet

Updated data from NASA satellite instruments reveal the Earth’s polar ice caps have not receded at all since the satellite instruments began measuring the ice caps in 1979. Since the end of 2012, moreover, total polar ice extent has largely remained above the post-1979 average. The updated data contradict one of the most frequently asserted global warming claims – that global warming is causing the polar ice caps to recede.

The timing of the 1979 NASA satellite instrument launch could not have been better for global warming alarmists. The late 1970s marked the end of a 30-year cooling trend. As a result, the polar ice caps were quite likely more extensive than they had been since at least the 1920s. Nevertheless, this abnormally extensive 1979 polar ice extent would appear to be the “normal” baseline when comparing post-1979 polar ice extent.

The lead scientist (or engineer), as political hack, of the previous report. and all the others signed as co-authors should be fired.

Then again, since they're liars or fools they might have a job with ABC News as 'objective scientists'...

Make a note of this. Spread the word far and wide.

The religion of Anthrogenic Global Warming’s acolytes have been shouting exactly the opposite for the past several weeks. It’s been on all the major media and leftist (but I repeat myself) web sites and news outlets. There’s an ice shelf in Antarctica which is about to break off, melt away, etc., yadda yadda. They refute this. Adamantly. Fiercely. Vociferously. Angrily. With words unfit to print much less say in polite company.

YOU CAN’T ARGUE FACTS WITH FANATICS!

There. Is. No. Man-made. Global. Warming.

Bahaha! I bet you won’t see one word of this reported by the mainstream media though. Such a shame that so many people bought into the global warming hocus pocus.

Whoo-BOY! Heads are going to roll at NASA. Their assignment should they take it was to assist in making us believe in AGW.

Must be a new plan of attack coming down the tube.

The highest temp in Antarctica ever recorded was -12.3 C

How do you melt ice in sub-zero weather. These global warming freaks are liars and deceivers.

Yesterday the bunghole-in-chief told a group of coast guard cadets ever that yone agrees global climate change is America's no.1 national security threat.

Its getting so my first impulse is to punch people who say they take global warming seriously - its so clearly a statist lie intended to frighten people into giving over their lives to government I cannot tolerate anyone so incurably, irredeemably stupid that they can't see through the scam.

So, Global Warming is a serious threat to the world, all kinds of ills are blamed on it and the prognosis is even worse.
Yet they can't seem to measure any real effects clearly caused by it.
What am I missing?

Besides how it's used for political gain of course, that's the only thing clear to me.

There was a story last year on a drone submarine that surveyed the ice thickness.....and it was thicker than expected.

Man caused gore bull warming might exist but it could very well always be statisically insignificant

The science is settled - the earth is warming.
The science is settled - warmer temperatures don’t always cause ice to melt.

It would be fascinating to see how liberals think. It’s a shame they are not intelligent enough to appreciate the humor of what passes for thought processes in their tiny little minds.

The way the sunspot cycle is going, we may be looking at another Little Ice Age. Won't Al Gore be surprised?

Wonder if this will actually hit any of the major news networks? I would consider watching ABC/NBC just to see them bring in Bill Nye and get his thoughts on the data.

Then again, we can just not fund NASA.

“The way the sunspot cycle is going, we may be looking at another Little Ice Age. Won’t Al Gore be surprised?”

No. “Global Warming” is now “Climate Change”. It is not falsifiable. Getting cooler is “Climate Change”. Getting warmer is “Climate Change”. Staying the same is getting ready for “Climate Change”.

Everything is “Climate Change”. Non-falsifiable.

Nope.

It's much like arguing with a stoned 15 year old. There is no point to it at all. You can only point to them, laugh, and tell others how stupid this person is.

Use Rules for Radicals regularly, without hesitation or guilt.

thank you very much! This one is from a mainstream source. Harder for my leftist friends to counter, especially the science teachers who all tend to be frothing at the mouth when the subject comes up.
