Oh... who to believe...
Repeat after me — gains in Antarctic ice are evidence of Global Warming. You are getting sleepy, very sleepy. Global Warming causes gains in Antarctic ice.
It’s gaining ice because of global warming. Good grief - don’t you watch movies? ;-)
Liberal response: “B-b-but it’s called climate change, not global warming, so we’re always right. Why won’t you conservatives just accept totalitarianism so that we don’t have to construct these elaborate mythologies? “
Okay. They need "better tools" to show this study of increased ice in Antarctica works better into their melting models. And then they say "melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica" is the cause of sea levels rising. WTF?
Someone somewhere in all of the planet please tell me where sea levels have risen. C'mon sea-level peoples, tell me where you have seen the rise. Hey, Floridans, you should know...please tell me.
I've kinda scoffed at those who say "global warming" is a religion, but after reading the above I'm starting to think it IS a Gaia based religion behind this contradicting thesis.
Is it just us who keep track of Sun spots and noticed that there has been NO increase in global temps for some 15 years along with the same cycle of Sun spots? Geeze, I'm not a solar physicist, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn and know better. Maybe our so-called climatologists should get a room. This getting beyond absurd. They can't even keep their story straight.
Oh... who to believe...
For now, the study authors say, these findings challenge current explanations for sea level rise, much of which is attributed to melting ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica.
"The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away," said Dr. Zwally.
"But this is also bad news," he added. "If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for."
The whole, "the entire east coast will be under water soon, unless we invest trillions into "green energy!" meme is in serious jeopardy.
It’s 75 degrees on November 3 here in western Pennsylvania. My kind of climate change. Who really cares about what’s going on in the Arctic and Antarctic except for the liberal loons.
Maybe the oceans are rising because of all the tears being shed by the Global Warming fanatics.
All that ice will make us fall out of the galaxy
Another study; another day. And yet the Sun continues to have fewer sun-spots that the “climatologists” ignore. Am I the only one that paid attention in science class?
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
To fix the global cooling problem we all need to buy a VW SUV.
