Antarctica and the Myth of Deadly Rising Seas

On Monday, scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute reported that they'd measured sea temperatures beneath an East Antarctic ice shelf and found no signs of warming whatsoever. And while the discovery's corollaries remain mostly blurred by the few rogue mainstream media outlets actually reporting it, the findings are in fact yet another serious blow to the sky-is-falling-because-oceans-are-rising prophecies of the climate alarm crowd.

Check out the clever term for a Global warming alarmist in this article: Carbo-chondriacs

Now wait a minute — Glenn Beck said that polar bears are towing ice bergs the size of Texas to ram Australia.

Delightful coinage!

I think, if the author won’t object, I will use this term the next time I encounter a Carbo-chondriac.

The implication of this is just as ignorant as anything AlGore says. If you take the temperature of water in any ice-water mixture at normal atmospheric pressure it will measure 32 deg F. (Ignoring the salt content - the actual temperature is a function of the amount of dissolved salt - more salt -> lower temperature of the water.) It won't warm up until all the ice has melted.

Let's leave the ignorant statements to the left.
