“Feelings, nothing more than feelings...”
But, gosh, it made the news so it must be science now.

The Question is was he up during the Winter 12 years ago ? Is he in a higher orbit ? Does he know North from south ?
Summer time Ice does melt, ya know ?

...it looks like Earth's ice caps have melted a bit since he was last in orbit 12 years ago. Are you sh*ttin' me?
You got your head so far up your arse, how can you tell?!

Actually, Astronaut did not say what the headline implies.
Ice is melting, The Earth is getting warmer, but it has NOTHING to do with human activity.
Mars is also heating up and there are no humans up there.
Global warming is caused by the solar activity. Belief that we can cool it down is less substantiated than believe that raindance can cause rain.
I am angered how even here on FR people do not discern that Global warming is a fact, MAN-MADE cause for it is a hoax.

...I just have the feeling that the glaciers are melting... Interesting.
Now that you mention it, I've always had the "feeling" that the sun is extinguished every night by pixies using a giant candle snuffer (which is why it gets dark); and that evry morning it is re-ignited, using magma from the earth's core, by magic fairies (which explains why it gets light).
Maybe I should apply for a job on the space station?
PS - I know, I know, if my "feelings" are correct then the earth's mass would be depleted over time by the loss of magma. Fortunately, I have that little problem covered: I ALSO have always "felt" that the earth aborbs space dust at the same rate that it loses the magma used for re-igniting the sun.

I’ve noticed that the comparative artic ice data is mysteriously unavailable this year... when at the beginning of the year, it looked like the ice extent was going to be much larger than anticipated.
Now they claim something is “broken.”

Funny how data disappears when it doesn’t support your point.

Of course there are no humans on Mars but there are Martians driving big ol gas guzzlin SUV's and burning fossil fuels to heat their martian mansions. The government knows all about this but there is a massive conspiracy to cover up the facts.
I only know about it cause I heard it on the Art Bell show
