NASA: Polar ice sheets are melting

Ice sheets at both of Earth's poles are melting rapidly, and the rate of loss has increased since the 1990s, a new NASA-sponsored study shows.

The study, which combines extensive data from aircraft and satellites, is believed to be the most precise assessment of its kind.

Here we go again.

Sorry but the gooberment put out a report two weeks ago that the Antarctic is growing faster than at any time in recorded history. These so called criminals should just be shot on sight.

And how is this relevant to Primary Mission “Muslim outreach” ?

NASA no longer does space exploration. Heck, they don’t even have launch capability.

So, they focus on proving global warming and muslim outreach.

Same as what Romney would have had them do. /SARCASM

Ping.

[TexasCajun]

While some influence from planetary warming is likely impinging on the Antarctic continent – mainly shifts in ocean and wind circulation patterns – the continent's relative isolation makes a strong link to global warming elusive.

haven’t heard much about the “hole in the Ozone layer” lately. Guess it’s closed up.

chicken little, henny penny, goosey loosey, cocky lockey and ducky daddle all concur.

[Mich Patriot]

I’m not believing this unless they have a hockey stick graph PROVING it!

Probably caused by my uncle’s big ass Cadillac...

Climate changes. That’s hardly scientifically controversial. Show me some evidence that the King Kanuts at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have the power to stop it.

“Hey!...We are too, relevant!...See, we’ll produce reports to support your BS agenda!...See!...Wait!.....”

NASA as prostitute....

It'll probably be closed until the patent on refrigerant R134a expires.

It took 40 million years to build up the antarctic ice cap and those G.D. Bitter Clingers are melting it down in one generation!

If this keeps up, in a few decades we might return to the climate conditions of the Medieval Warm Period.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

I’m guessing that the Antarctic ice-sheet is currently melting faster than the arctic ice-sheet.

Oh No!

[TexasCajun]

Looks to me like it's Blue States contributing the most to Global Warming!

Home energy should be shut off at 11:00pm in Blue States to save the planet.

[cripplecreek]

Shouldn’t they be looking the other way?

[Da Coyote]

Sorry, NASA.

You lost your connection to science around the time that you started Muslim outreach.

Go back to your rooms, close the door, and STFU.
