Antarctic Sea Ice Sets Another Record

Antarctic sea ice set another record this past week, with the most amount of ice ever recorded on day 256 of the calendar year (September 12 of this leap year). Please, nobody tell the mainstream media or they might have to retract some stories and admit they are misrepresenting scientific data.
National Public Radio (NPR) published an article on its website last month claiming, “Ten years ago, a piece of ice the size of Rhode Island disintegrated and melted in the waters off Antarctica. Two other massive ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula had suffered similar fates a few years before. The events became poster children for the effects of global warming. … There’s no question that unusually warm air triggered the final demise of these huge chunks of ice.”

NPR failed to mention anywhere in its article that Antarctic sea ice has been growing since satellites first began measuring the ice 33 years ago and the sea ice has been above the 33-year average throughout 2012. Indeed, none of the mainstream media are covering this important story. A Google News search of the terms Antarctic, sea ice and record turns up not a single article on the Antarctic sea ice record. Amusingly, page after page of Google News results for Antarctic sea ice record show links to news articles breathlessly spreading fear and warning of calamity because Arctic sea ice recently set a 33-year low. Sea ice around one pole is shrinking while sea ice around another pole is growing. This sure sounds like a global warming crisis to me.

Maybe those people in the coal mines can get their jobs back now along with 41% of our electricity with no plan of replacement.

People need to understand the differences between sea ice, and land ice before they get all excited, between Arctic and Anarctic!

The point is that while the antartic ice may be building, glaciers worldwide are disapearing. Tom's proof is no proof at all.

However the evidence would say otherwise, Oh, and I also know how to spell Antarctic correctly,

It is certainly no exaggeration that previous estimates of glacial melting have been fraught with error, sparking contentious debate among glaciologists. “Discussion of the demise of the Himalayan glaciers has been mired in controversy, partly because of basic errors, but also because of the dearth of reliable data on past trends,” Bamber explains. Indeed, estimates for the Himalayan glaciers, based on a few easy to access sites, was roundly criticized by experts world wide. Now comes a “surprising” new set of estimates, based on satellite measurements of glacier ice mass.

Most previous global mass balance estimates for Glaciers and ice caps (GICs) rely on extrapolation of sparse mass balance measurements, which represent only a small fraction of the GIC area. Based on a global, simultaneous inversion of monthly GRACE-derived satellite gravity fields, Thomas Jacob et al, calculated the mass change over all ice-covered regions greater in area than 100 km[SUP]2[/SUP]. In “Recent contributions of glaciers and ice caps to sea level rise,” the authors describe their work:
Here we present a GRACE solution that details individual mass balance results for every region of Earth with large ice-covered areas. The main focus of this paper is on GICs, excluding Antarctic and Greenland PGICs. For completeness, however, we also include results for the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets with their PGICs. GRACE does not have the resolution to separate the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets from their PGICs. All results are computed for the same 8-yr time period (2003–2010).

​
Here the term PGICs means peripheral GICs—in other words, surrounding non-glacial ice such as floating sea ice. To determine losses of individual GIC regions, they covered each region with one or more ‘mascons’ (small, arbitrarily defined regions of Earth). The mass of each mascon was then estimated using the GRACE data. They were particularly interested in measuring the glaciers of the Himalaya, refered to here as High Mountain Asia (HMA). The mascons are shown in the figure below.

Even the BBC stops acting as a mouthpiece for the IPCC sometimes.

You stupid fascist, why do you want to destroy the planet? Why do you want to kill my children? Don't lie, you know global warming is happening, and you don't give a fuck. You're lying about this whole denialism thing, you piece of garbage.

Our children will find people who denied climate change in the future, and take their vengeance on them. They will be hung for their treason to the planet, their lying, their treason to the human race.

I knew that you would succumb to swamp fever one day, try going to bed. When did you acquire children?

The so what is that your studies are bogus, agenda pushing bullshit.

All this brouhaha over 1 fucking degree in 100 years.

You are one of the most gullible fuckers I have ever come across.

You have a better chance of being struck by lightning than seeing the world destroyed by global warming.

Relax

lets see them! After you post them we'll show you the flawed methodology and you'll be forced to accept you were duped by government scientists with every reason to lie
