Growing sea ice surrounding Antarctica could prompt scientists to consider relocating research stations on the continent, according to the operations manager of the Australian Antarctic Division.

Growing Antarctic sea ice...

Just today was a horror story about losing a big ice shelf.

THe libtard scientific schizophrenia is reaching a peak.

And so the age of ice returns and the age of man comes to an end. If we would have just listened to those hippies in late 70s. Oh well. They tried to warn us, but alas. The bald government scientist won the day (Mann, Hansen, etc.). Bald men always want warming.

“In the news today, Chicken Little says the sea is freezing and the globe is turning to ice.” Weren’t we all going to roast to death a couple of years ago?

Not just the "hippies", but highly regarded magazines like Time, Newsweek, Harpers and others warned us a new ice age was approaching. It was on the cover of Time or Look magazine, can't recall which.

You know...ugh. Just...

We were told about greenhouse effect in like 1972 and it seemed like it could happen

We loved on the shore of a bay and I’ve been watching it since them and I a ready. Waiting for it to overflow

And it hasn’t yet but so what. The shoreline hasn’t moved any fraction of an inch but they say it’s going to

Any minute now

The Arctic has lost some ice. Antarctica has gained record levels of ice. No surprise which one is considered more newsworthy.

Once again Antarctic sea ice is not cooperating with the global warming libtards’ narrative.

Oh, they’ve already concocted their “escape mechanism”.

The expanding sea ice has less volume than the lost land ice in Antarctica.
