The New Antarctic “Tipping Point”—Headlines and Facts

A recent headline in the New York Times says “Scientists Warn of Rising Oceans from Polar Melt.” Other newspapers propagated the story with titles like “Ice sheet collapse ‘unstoppable,’ scientists warn” and “Huge Antarctic ice sheet collapsing.”

The story refers to two recent publications that conclude that “warm water upwelling from the [Antarctic] ocean depths has most likely triggered an inherent instability” that will lead to the envisaged collapse.

There are some problems with such predictions: The facts show otherwise.

Let's see here. It's unstoppable, john f'n kohn-heinz-kerry and the french foreign minister say there's only 500 days to "turn this around". What ever shall we do? Looks like miami will be under 6", 9", 3'6" or 6'9" of water a lot sooner than anticipated. I'm sure glad we moved out of Fl and avoided the rush. If this garbage took us 100 years to cause all these "problems", do these idiots think we can fix the "problems" in less than 500 days? That is, if there is actually a "problem". I guess the "problem" is that there ROI ain't big enough yet. Yeah, call me a denier.

I guess the next question is where to invest in oceanfront property? (better dig out a topo map...LOL!)

500 days can go by real fast.

I suggest we let it — and NOT expand government’s already burdensome regulations and taxes.

Besides, yesterday we were told it’s too late.

Going on winter in Antarctica. How can things be melting?

Hello..........glow-bull warming/change/disruption/abberations/heatin’ up/xxx will make it much warmer in Anti-arctica. Palm trees on the horizon. :>}

This is the same Antarctica where recently, a team of climate researchers (oops, vacationers, according to the MSM) were trapped in the unexpectedly large amounts of ice for several weeks? Where the ice and weather were so bad that a number of rescue attempts failed?

That Antarctica? Which planet do these "researchers" live on?

Of course, global warming Climate Change Climate Disruption proponents have two choices in situations like what's occurring now. Either they can 1) Say "Oops" and lose all of their funding or 2) Double down on the lies and hope that no one calls them on it.

The choice for them is obvious, if you think about it.

Was 15 F here last night, 100 miles north of our (supposed) southern border. Probably killed off the last of my fruit trees.

I think AlGore has saved us from being warm.
Thank you Algore.

The East Coast under water…..urban renewal? Perhaps that’s just Gaia’s way of cleansing the planet of too many evil human beings. Don’t fight the goddess!

[InterceptPoint]

Of course, global warming Climate Change Climate Disruption proponents ...

You make an excellent point here.

The only thing that will make Global Warming go away is "Climate Change".

And to get rid of "Climate Change" we will need "Climate Disruption".

To get rid of "Climate Disruption" we will need "Fill in the Blank".

bttt

[nitzy]

You misunderstand.

We have 500 days to pass permanent, society altering laws that may or may not have an impact on global climate. The issue is that if we don't pass these laws in 500 days the earth god will smite us for our misdeeds.

See these articles and FR threads that describe the MSM deception:

Guardian’s Suzanne Goldenberg jumps the shark again – gets called out by NYT (Antarctic "collapse")

ABC, CBS, and NBC Freak Out Over Melting Antarctic Ice

[molson209]

so much ice has melted and Florida is how far under water right now ? D’oh

[rktman]

Good thing the “him-all-yas” are counteracting some of this glow-bull warming huh?

Of course I am deeply concerned about the other 13%. :>}

[rktman]

It’s a comin’. Just that the ocean currents are having a hard time deciding just where to deposit all that excess liquid ice/unfrozen water.

[Gritty]

Tipping Point? Is Antarctica going to be the next island that is in danger of tipping over?

(this makes about as much sense as the "threat")

[TurboZamboni]

I’ll worry about this as soon as I’m done Bigfoot-proofing my house.
