I am not real sure about this source in this hyperlink but it seems that the Arctic ice IS growing.

Mawson Station was established in 1954. So after sixty years of melting, there is so much ice they can’t get to it anymore.

Yes, if it is floating freely. If it is sitting on land, that is a very different matter.

....and that’s why your ice tea glass never overflows if the ice melts. Obviously, though it wouldn’t overflow because of global warming. It’s stupid to waste a cold glass of sweet tea on a hot summer’s day

after sixty years of melting,

Isn't it always below zero there?

Go here and watch Joe Bastardi’s Saturday Summary …it is really good and you can learn a lot about the weather… it is on the site all the time

Thanks. I’ll take a closer look when I have more time. Have to get ready to leave now.

Because h2o when in liquid form tends to flow to the oceans, which makes their levels rise. If it doesn't make it to the ocean, it becomes vapor and then falls as ran, and since 2/3 of the world is ocean, it eventually becomes part of the ocean. Which tends to make the sea levels rise. The sea levels were hundreds of feet lower during the last ice age, and rose quite a bit after it ended, deluging human villages and settlements all over the globe. Warmists believe that global warming, and melting of ice that is currently on top of land masses, will cause the seas to rise even higher than they are at the moment, flooding New York and other cities along the coast. More likely than not, we will get another ice age, as one is overdue. Periods of warming between ice ages are the exception, rather than the norm, over the last few million years.

Comprende?

A couple of those "scientists" just made a trek to the Arctic to prove that the ice is melting (of course, they did so during the melt season), and ended up drowning. A couple of Warmunists bite the dust.

To address your point about arctic sea ice, if it melts, that would not change sea levels a great deal. But I think most of it melts every year any way. The warmists worry about ice on the land. You make a valid point about sea ice, but I don’t know how much sea ice enters into the equation.

>>> Seems that we have a problem with Warm Air Distribution, not Global Warming.

That’s why we need liberals to fix it for us...they are the redistributionists.

There is something here I don’t understand. I know that ice is roughly 90% as dense as water, which is why 10% of an ice berg is visible. If that ice melts, that 10% that was above the water line gets added to the ocean. But since the whole iceberg is now liquid it also has 10% less total volume. So the net effect of a melted iceberg on the water level should be zero.

"Shut up," the Global Warming 'Scientist' explained.

“We know that the changing Antarctic sea ice extent is very largely driven by changes in wind,” Worby said.”

It’s really no surprise why God is going to destroy this world, and make a NEW one, is it. Of course, one “without” these kinds of people in it. And for THAT, all I can say is...Thank You, thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord Jesus!
