Maybe this is because global cooling is reality while global warming is politics?

It is only weird if one fell for the AGW hoax, otherwise it is not weird at all.

It’s not weird. Nature is not weird. Some closed-minded humans have formed opinions of what nature “should” be doing, and when it doesn’t do it, they can only find the word “weird.”

Makes more sense to admit that one’s preconceived ideas were wrong.

Cameras are notoriously unreliable under those conditions. The researchers should lower Al Gore into the hole and let him check things out personally.

If one looks to Mars, we’d observe the polar ice caps on the north and south pole accumulate and wane over time, with each the complete opposite of the other. So why would the same effect be surprising here on Earth?

It’s Antarctica. It’s at the bottom of the world. The Sun never shines there for 3 months of the year. It’s a land mass, you know, rocks and dirt. It’s freaking cold down theee on a summer day. Gee whiz.

It's cold at the south pole? That is weird.

The shelf, which can be up to 10,000 feet thick, is the largest of several that hold back West Antarctica's massive amounts of ice. If these were to collapse, global sea level would rise by ten feet.

Why? These ice shelfs are already in the ocean, aren't they? So their volume is already accounted for in total volume of water of the oceans. Just like a glass full of ice-cubes and water doesn't overflow when it melts.

This goes completely against the whole global warming climate change narrative, and will be denounced by the cult of climate change on CNN shortly, with calls to have the heretics who engaged in this study to be executed in the court of gaia.

Global warming? Sounds like another shot at the Medieval Climate Optimum. Oddly enough, the warm climate of that era earned the name “optimum” because it was good for humanity. Another interesting observation is that we didn’t lose half the species on the planet. Anything that survived the Medieval warm period will do just fine in the event that the trivial “Global Warming” projection is real.

Global cooling? That’s my nightmare scenario. Give us an ice age and all bets are off. We’ll have another round of extinctions, including many people. We’ll have agriculture failures that lead to starvation. If we spiral into an ice age, food will be so hard to produce that even liberals may have to do productive work if they want to eat!

Though results of this study were unexpected, that doesn't change the larger trend of accelerated warming and icecap melting.

Of course.

Conclusion, first.
Evidence, later.
And ignore any evidence which proves inconvenient.

Consistent with a rise in sea levels.

CAGW is still working.

I wonder what the assumptions are for that. It’s awefully cold at 10000 feet, so is this another of those ridiculous statements of what would happen if something that can’t happen caused something else to happen did so.

Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.

Not only weird - scary for those who depend on it to be melting so they can continue their scam....

If ‘scientists’, academics, and governments, weren’t in thrall to the myth of global warming, they’d be paying attention to the hard climate evidence contained in ancient ice cores, which clearly show a repeating pattern of cooling and warming over vast amounts of time.

The climate and temperature records we have gathered over the last several centuries, exactly match climate patterns of earlier epochs.

Anyone making the comparison of these two data sets, can easily predict where our climate is headed - and that is into a cooling phase, known as a ‘minimum’.

Bottom line - we’re now entering what many independent researchers and real climatologists are calling, a ‘little ice age’, and it’s coming on fast. Over the next two years, temperatures are going to fall hard enough that no one will be able to deny what’s happening.
