Antarctic ice shelves not melting at all, new field data show

Twenty-year-old models which have suggested serious ice loss in the eastern Antarctic have been compared with reality for the first time – and found to be wrong, so much so that it now appears that no ice is being lost at all.

“Previous ocean models … have predicted temperatures and melt rates that are too high, suggesting a significant mass loss in this region that is actually not taking place,”

[Twotone]

Computer models foiled by reality again...

The truth gets its boots on five years too late.

But but how can low lying Pacific islands flood over if the damn ice caps won’t melt?

[Sacajaweau]

Okay....And that will change the phoney new sea levels they just released a few days ago.

It's pretty interesting that NORMAL, NOT BRILLIANT, NOT "LEARNED" people like you and me knew it was a load of cr** all along.

Global STASIS!! ARGGGGHHHH!!

But, but, but... we've been told twice the last few days that the ocean levels are rising, first on the west coast then on the east.

Of course they aren’t. I knew the antarctic ice shelves weren’t melting the first time I heard liberal activists shouting that they were. No science to it, just years of observing the radical left lie, and realizing that the more emphatic the rant, the greater the lie.

Algore must be livid at the news that these ice sheets are defying him.

The AGW/IPCC CO2 scam artists aka CHICKEN LITTLE BRIGADE has not gotten one of their assertions correct. NOT ONE. Come on man. somebody throwing darts could predict a better result.
These socialist democrat frauds try and create havoc by SCARE TACTICS, not unlike the ancient tribal witch doctors who tricked the peasants into doing their bidding telling them the sun was going to disappear during an eclispe.

Using the word “boffin” more than once in an article doesn’t help.

Nah... it's a regional thing.

Somebody's gonna get their pay docked.

They are. The last few days the tide has been as high as I've ever seen it, and the neighbors said they haven't seen it so high since 1993.

Obama told us that he would stop the oceans from rising. You didn’t believe him?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Maybe the Moon is getting closer.

Some people claim that there’s a tropical storm to blame, but that’s not going to help me make money off my carbon credits.

I work with computer models every day, and if the models in my corner of the private sector were as bad as the Globull Warming models, I’d be thrown out of my job.
