Ouch! LOL

Which explains why Antarctica is currently seeing the highest ice areas in the satellite era. Because it’s getting WARMER.

Worth repeating.

At the south pole every direction is north.

First, odd that this has never happened before, even in other warming time periods.

Second, it’s funny that even when we just compare the left’s failed guesses, they were looking at the WRONG pole, telling us the danger was the arctic melting, when it turned out the danger was from the south.

Third, I’d like to see at least one billionaire global warming alarmist put their money where their propaganda is, and buy out “beachfront” property 400 feet above sea level. Seems like a sure long-term bet for them.

Climate change is 5 Billion years old. Earth temperature have never been constant. That is why we had ice ages every so many thousand years in regularity followed by global warming.

It is egotistical to think man can change earth’s natural cycles. From orbiting satellites only a couple of hundred miles above no man made objects are visible! Only the great wall of China shows up as a barely discernible thin wiggly line.

How do you tell East from West in Antarctica? I thought it was all just South toward the pole and North away from the pole.

“That “ice plug” might melt away in coming centuries if ocean waters warm up.”

Today students we will learn the meanings of “might” and “if”.

“That “ice plug” might melt away in coming centuries....”

.
They’re worrying about melting ice in centuries to come but don’t give a damn about the fact that this nation is *sshole deep in debt right now and that the next generation may have to live in slavery.

Who gives a crap about the ice.

“I would not be surprised”
“if it ever”
“it could take”
“it sounds plausible”
“could contribute”
“at least”

And best of all...

“the biggest uncertainty”

Actually, that’s technically true. Most of the time it’s too cold to snow in Antarctica. If the temp comes up overall, it eventually becomes “warm” enough for increased precipitation.

The increased ice is mainly sea ice.

(said in a whiny liberal voice) ... but you don't understand... it takes a lot of people to run the machines that make the castles float in the sky that we live in.
