Water is eating away at the Antarctic ice, melting it where it hits the oceans.

Water melts ice....

Who knew??

So I guess that’s why the Antarctic is at all time record ice areas, because it’s melting...

Who knew...

In the worst case scenario, Antarctica's melt could push sea levels up 10 feet (3.3 meters) worldwide in a century or two, recurving heavily populated coastlines.

Unmitigated horse hockey!

Claim That Sea Level Is Rising Is a Total Fraud

Sea levels began to rise 18k years ago at the end of the last glacial period. They have risen about 135 meters since then which is an average of 7.5 millimeters per year. That is an average of 750 mm per century (29.5 inches) which is far more than the average over the last century.

From 1880 to 2000 sea level rose about 20 cm or just under 8 inches. Far far less than the nearly 30 inches per century average over the last 18,000 years.

Do people really think the Earth will remain the same forever?Just because we built a city on a coast line a few hundred years ago doesn’t mean it’s permanent. I’m pretty sure we will adapt.

This is a trick the Globalist love to play on the American people.

The Antarctic ALWAYS MELTS in the Summer Time. When it’s Winter time in the Northern Hemisphere of the Earth, it’s Summer Time in the Southern Hemisphere where Antarctica is located. It always melts this is NOTHING unusual.

Right now we are actually having one of the coldest winters on record in 100 plus years or so we have been recording the weather. This may also confirm what many scientist around the world are saying that we are experiencing global cooling period. Sort of a mini ice age. This is NOT because of human activity, but because the SUN is going through a cool down period. This is all very normal and part of the life cycle. Although the Globalist propagandist at the AP will never tell you this. They are trying to claim there really is global warming, and to tick people into thinking this in order to bring in carbon taxes.

For the record the Antarctic ALWAYS melts in the Summer Time. They are just hoping are dumb enough and do not realize this.

Furthermore, the ice on both polls have never been larger on record. So this may explain while there is more water. Don’t let AP trick you.

Here is my proof

and

About the ice never being thicker.

Finally, here is one of the best web sites I know for researching to truth about Global warming. Outstanding information against the Global Warming crowd that want to silence the debate.

And the “calculations” are performed by the NASA satellite...

No shortage of cowbell in this hyperbolic piece of drama.

At its current rate, the rise from Antarctica would only lift the world's oceans a barely noticeable one-third of a millimeter a year.

Just to make a point if one assumes that is correct after 100 years the oceans will rise a staggering 1.3 inches.

NASA is a political organization and has long since squandered any scientific credibility. This is little more than a fart in a global warming snowstorm

"as several experts predict"

And my BS mete just went off the scale right there... Seriously, if I had a dollar for every time the "experts" we're wrong, I'd own Al Gore by now.

... in other words, about 1/64”. So in a century, if true, it would be 1 1/2”. And you can bet the climate alarmists have not calculated the additional cooling effect of adding that much water to the Earth’s oceans.

Climate alarmists, have learned to behave like whining begging dogs looking for table scraps from government (i.e. taxpayer) funded “research” grants. The louder they whine, the more money they get.

Corrupt politicians feed this perversion of science by funding the “research”, knowing that these same funded groups will then kick back money to their election campaigns.

It’s a vicious cycle that entrenches politicians in power and pervert science to political ends.

But if all the West Antarctic ice sheet that's connected to water melts unstoppably,

Note that they keep talking about WEST Antarctica? Shouldn't it be ALL of Antarctica? What's so different about WEST Antarctica?

Note which side of Antarctica has all the volcanoes (red dots)?
