Global Warming Update

Antarctic Sea Ice Sets Another Record

Antarctic sea ice set another record this past week, with the most amount of ice ever recorded on day 256 of the calendar year (September 12 of this leap year). Please, nobody tell the mainstream media or they might have to retract some stories and admit they are misrepresenting scientific data.

National Public Radio (NPR) published an article on its website last month claiming, “Ten years ago, a piece of ice the size of Rhode Island disintegrated and melted in the waters off Antarctica. Two other massive ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula had suffered similar fates a few years before. The events became poster children for the effects of global warming. … There’s no question that unusually warm air triggered the final demise of these huge chunks of ice.”

NPR failed to mention anywhere in its article that Antarctic sea ice has been growing since satellites first began measuring the ice 33 years ago and the sea ice has been above the 33-year average throughout 2012.

Indeed, none of the mainstream media are covering this important story. A Google News search of the terms Antarctic, sea ice and record turns up not a single article on the Antarctic sea ice record. Amusingly, page after page of Google News results for Antarctic sea ice record show links to news articles breathlessly spreading fear and warning of calamity because Arctic sea ice recently set a 33-year low.

Sea ice around one pole is shrinking while sea ice around another pole is growing. This sure sounds like a global warming crisis to me.

Geeezz, I'm afraid he earth will get more lop sided!! Then what???

It tips over and we all fall off-

Well, if you're a progressive (whatever that means) it's just another way of deflecting responsibility and a good excuse for anything you can't legitimatley explain, which pretty much includes everything you stand for.

I'm glad I'm not a progressive!!!

Come on, you guys. The earth is not going to tip over because of increases or decreases in sea ice. Aren't you familiar with Archimedes Prinicipal?

I refer you to
U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Decatur) statement about Guam Tipping Over.

Cute reply but totally irrelavant to to your irrational fear of the earth tipping over.

And where did you get the idea I was concerned about the earth tipping over?

I can't believe Eyemar thought we were serious.

I don't think he does but he probably couldn't pass up the opportunity.

Crap---You found me out. But then, I have passed up many such opportunities.
