Antarctic ice at 'mind-blowing' low alarms experts
BBC ^ | 9/17/23 | GGeorgina Rannard, Becky Dale and Erwan Rivault

The sea-ice surrounding Antarctica is well below any previous recorded winter level, satellite data shows, a worrying new benchmark for a region that once seemed resistant to global warming.

"It's so far outside anything we've seen, it's almost mind-blowing," says Walter Meier, who monitors sea-ice with the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

An unstable Antarctica could have far-reaching consequences, polar experts warn.

Antarctica's huge ice expanse regulates the planet's temperature, as the white surface reflects the Sun's energy back into the atmosphere and also cools the water beneath and near

Mind blowing is a scientific term which scares enough people to give up their freedom.

Forgive me, but weren’t there reports not long ago about how the Antarctic ice sheet had been growing that great deal bigger than expected?

With real data that has been coming out over the last decade I am betting these people are outright lying to us.

They’re too busy on social media, porn, and getting drunk watching football to see the scary news anymore.
People caring about global warming will become minuscule when economic reality slaps them in the face.

I am still suffering trauma from the global cooling of the 1970s:

https://iseethics.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/the-cooling-world-newsweek-april-28-1975.pdf

Check out the hysteria in the article—sounds all too familiar:

“Ominous signs”

“weather patterns have begun to change dramatically”

“serious political implications”

“evidence...accumulates so massively”

They might as well just have AI crank out this garbage—replace “cooling” with “warming” and then rotate back to “climate change”.

The propaganda is both amusing and pathetic.

Well, we remember when all the polar bears died by 2000 - and the glaciers in glacier park melted by 2020 and large parts of Manhattan went under water by 2010...

Oh wait - NONE of that happened.

I’m sure this time the alarmists are telling the truth.../s

Good. Melt it. The Penguins will thank you. They can swim to Argentina, Australia and Cape town and have the time of their lives.
