Global Warming Is So Powerful That It Showed The Resilience Of Sea Ice

So, sea ice is more “resilient” that scientists originally assumed, according to the Wall Street Journal. In fact, a “single cool summer” actually stopped the ice cap around the North Pole from melting:

Using new satellite data, researchers at University College London reported in Nature Geoscience on Monday that the total volume of sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere was well above average in the autumn of 2013, traditionally the end of the annual melt season, after an unusually cool summer when temperatures dropped to levels not seen since the 1990s.

“We now know it can recover by a significant amount if the melting season is cut short,” said the study’s lead author Rachel Tilling, a researcher who studies satellite observations of the Arctic. “The sea ice might be a little more resilient than we thought.”

Well that certainly explains........what idiots these asshats are. Lucky for us the science is settled. Well at least according to the hildebeast and several other gorons. Guess we don't need to worry about that 200 foot sea level rise for a couple more years. Whew!

These are documented ass-hats who get tax money for their projects that jibe with the socialists’ political agenda. Quite a scam.

What? I thought this was ‘settled science’? You mean we keep learning new stuff the sometimes conflicts with our current worldview? WTH?

Oh wait... that’s how science is supposed to work.

Yes, that’s how it becomes settled. Or something.

This is such a money driven farce.If these so called “scientists” don't push this lie ,they lose their government funding. The “progressives “ want to dumb down your life and possessions to transfer them to parasite voters.
It is an absolute fact that not only the Arctic Ice mass did not decline but the Antarctic's ice mass increased significantly !!
What is amazing is how there is no measurable criteria for “Climate change”. What is the base line and what are you measuring? Some one tell us. Are you still pushing global warming because the globe has been cooling since 1998! What a total fraud.

It always amazes me how much of this settled science is..., well... unsettled.

Absolute madness. In their Gaian religion to have no AGW is like telling Billy Graham there is no Jesus Christ. So rather than say their claims of AGW are false, “SCIENTISTS” say Ice Melts Differently Now (!!!!!)

Lord of Lies is the Lord of Flies and flies suck ****.

Toss them this list see, their heads explode:

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet’

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

Well, part of it is true I believe because now in Florida, di-hydrogen monoxide turns to a solid at 40deg F. :>}

Lucky for us the science is settled.

If the science is settled why are governments spending Billions of dollars on research grants to investigate global warming/climate change/climate disruption/(...insert this weeks nomenclature here...)

The Anthropogenic Global Warming attack on free people is the combination of the lies, deceit, insanity and stupidity of all of the following times 666:

Prohibition, Thalidomide, Y2K, Piltdown Man, Charles Ponzi, the Hitler Diaries, Crop Circles, Bigfoot, the Lochness Monster, Area 51, Cold Fusion, Dilithium Crystals, Jimmy Swaggert, Bernie Madoff, the Veterans Administration, Enron, Fannie Mae, Valiant Thor, the Dred Scott decision, astrology, unicorns, Tyco, Benghazi, S&L’s, the IRS, and the entire Earth’s supply of Nigerian emails looking for money!

So I guess I am on the fence.

You may like to add your own “cause insane” to the list.

Didn’t 99% of all scientists say thalidomide was safe for everyone?

Wonderful sunbtantive inquiry for the exposure of these frauds. I am very concerned about the junk being taught our children or grand childeren by common core or liberal teachers about this lie. Anyway, great cross examination questions for the next time we have a chance.

I heard that eminent climate scientist, Hairy Reed, proclaim from the senate floor just this morning that the sea would rise by 60 feet.

The reality is probably closer to 6 inches (if that).

“The sea ice might be a little more resilient than we thought.”

We just did a 9-1/2 year journey of a probe to Pluto which required a gravity boosted assist from Jupiter, but we are fooled by melting ice?

I hear there is ice on Pluto. Wonder what it’s status is due to SUVs.
