Better hurry up and fetch your ice cubes! The Antarctic is claimed to be melting at an unprecedented rate. NASA wants you believe that “Massive Antarctic Ice Shelf Will Be Gone Within Years.” More specifically, a team led by Ala Khazendar of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has found that the ice is melting so fast that the shelf will be gone before 2020. Presumably, that’s the good news.
The bad news is that it’s all Hullabaloo. Neither the Arctic nor the Antarctic sea-ice is melting at any rate out of the norm. In fact, the opposite is true. As of late, both Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice extents have been increasing at rates not seen for a long time.

Is this by any chance the ice sheet that is directly over a series of active volcanoes? If so then, DUH! of course they’re melting!

2 years?
10 years?
50,000 years?
50 million years?
Could we have the OH_NOES?
An article published by NASA the other day said by 2020.
Does NASA hire any real scientists anymore? With the current crop we could never have made it to the moon.
Sounds like NASA has hired Mike Farrell to work in its public information office.
Wait until you hear the unmitigated crapola that Obama spews forth at the Coast Guard Academy graduation today. All about Global Warming. Geeez!
Bas*dards just won’t stop this perpetual push for global warming.
Let’s see liberal agenda.
1. Amnesty to increase democrat voters.
2. Global warming hoax to increase contributions and tax money to democratic party and phony green enterprises.
3. Public unions to increase tax money to democratic party.
4. Push abortions to decrease number of minorities.
5. Wealth distribution through various inheritance tax schemes.
6. I’m too sick to my stomach to go on with this...
LOL! Trust me, I may only hear it if some conservative talk show replays it. Nails on chalkboard.
government and the media and the democrat party and Obama are the main problems not a hoax called global warming
The opening reminded me of one of the squares on the original Game of Life (Milton Bradley): Iceberg rams yacht. Sell ice cubes. receive $10,000.
NASA lost sight of its mission LONG ago. When they started paying attention to the ‘life scientists’ (who insisted on being called scientist rather than engineer because THEY weren’t engineers) the nonsense began taking over.
Yeah, I saw a PBS “Globe Trekker” show this past weekend with footage of a glacier calving icebergs and a scholarly-type bemoaning the melting rate due to a gain of one degree Centigrade over some period of time. Total baloney!!
Just checked and the temperature is -105 degrees at Vostok, Antartica - http://www.wunderground.com/weather-forecast/zmw:00000.1.89606
Wow! A regular heat wave. </sarc>
I long for a crew cut, pocket protector wearing NASA administrator that will focus the Jet Propulsion Laboratory on propulsion tech instead of measuring ice levels.
Always liked NASA. It accomplished some great things once. But, you’re right. Might be best to scrap it.
It's always corrupt and politicized. government is unaccountable to the individual and to the people
It amazes me how all democrats and many Americans trust government and believe government is the solution to most problems. I guess the news media brainwashed most of these people.
Reagan was right. Government is not the solution government IS the problem. add the media and democrat party and then those are also the problem
