Robot Sub Finds Surprisingly Thick Antarctic Sea Ice
LiveScience ^ | November 24, 2014 | Becky Oskin

Antarctica's ice paradox has yet another puzzling layer. Not only is the amount of sea ice increasing each year, but an underwater robot now shows the ice is also much thicker than was previously thought, a new study reports.

The discovery adds to the ongoing mystery of Antarctica's expanding sea ice. According to climate models, the region's sea ice should be shrinking each year because of global warming. Instead, satellite observations show the ice is expanding, and the continent's sea ice has set new records for the past three winters...

It’s only a “mystery” if you are mentally ill, or a liberal. But I repeat myself.

The measurements of ACTUAL ice are obviously wrong. The models are built by very smart guys. /s

I am impressed that this woman had the courage to report facts that contradict Barry and his team of scientific Grubers. She probably was required to add the sentence about this being a “mystery” by a weak-knee-ed editor or perhaps she has a subtle sense of humor.

Look, this is all settled science. If there’s way more ice than the model predicts, then the ice is wrong. Probably it’s due to Obama-hating racist white ice.

This is a fake story. Al Gore says the polar ice caps have melted.

Ice holes!! The whole damn lot of these slimeball climatologists and global warming advocates.

Imagine a world where its collective mind is frozen

And programmed to believe that which is wrong.

But if not for global warming, the ice sheet would be growning at an even faster rate. (Do I even need the sarcasm tag?)

Pay no attention to the data, this is not the data
you were looking for...

Obviously there is global warming, all the cold is going
to the south pole.

If Demcrats ose in 2016, there will be a purge of all the “global warming” alarmists and the global cooling alarmists will kick in full gear.

Of course the resolution to the problem will remain the same.

One would almost think that the ‘warming” was pure hype.

Now that the ice is getting thicker, will the ocean levels recede and will the Chunnel have been built for nothing?

Will the Strait of Hormuz become too shallow for oil tanker traffic?

Hey y’all climate huggers, say something.

When the facts don’t support the lies, you need bigger lies.

I wish these Leftist life forms would just stuff a sock in it. Climate is climate, and nothing else. Learn to live with it, and with other people.

Obama breaks the laws of man.

Climate Change Believers puzzled why Antarctic ice won’t break the laws of nature.
