Extent of Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches Record Levels
schwit1 writes Scientists have declared a new record has been set for the extent of Antarctic sea ice since records began. Satellite imagery reveals an area of about 20 million square kilometers covered by sea ice around the Antarctic continent. Jan Lieser from the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) said the discovery was made two days ago. "Thirty-five years ago the first satellites went up which were reliably telling us what area, two dimensional area, of sea ice was covered and we've never seen that before, that much area."
Why bother posting articles like this? There is a consensus that global warming is happening and any new data that contradicts it is just a temporary anomaly.
Articles like this just give fuel to deniers.
This year is going to mark the endpoint on a whole lot of climate change denier graphs.
I read the internet for the articles.
Well given that 5 years ago Al Gore said in 5 years time the Arctic will be completely ice free and it's completely covered in ice still, I would say they have a point. Back to the drawing board with the models at least. If there is one. Which I doubt.

From your drivel:
Well given that 5 years ago Al Gore said in 5 years time the Arctic will be completely ice free...
Form Al Gore's quote:
Al Gore Warns Polar Ice May Be Gone in Five Years
From your drivel:
Well given that 5 years ago Al Gore said in 5 years time the Arctic will be completely ice free...
Guess what? It's going to happen. Five years were the earliest bounds on the model.
objecting to this downmod...
someone downmodded my comment and it is not supportable...i offered an informative take on the issue...maybe you disagree, maybe you think pollution is not harmful...but i'm not trolling, flamebaiting, or off-topic
i'm on topic and provided a link that is relevant...whoever downmodded me is a stinker
Thank you Dave Raggett
They just call global warming skeptics "deniers and "morons," because it's so much easier than trying to explain why why there's been no warming for 19 years, in violation of all global warming models.
Global warming is no longer theory, it's a religion, as well a mechanism for the transnational left to transfer power and money from individuals to national and transnational governments.
Global warming no longer has anything to do with science; it's a faith-based doctrine.
It most certainly is so much easier to call you a denier and a moron because we have gone over this little issue about 10E4 times and you still hold on to your infantile view of the process (study of short term temperature fluctuations either prove or invalidate anthropomorphic climate change (ACC)). The data behind ACC is robust and, unfortunately for you, complex.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Whatever mystical crap floats your boat, sparky. The likelihood that you are a voter is chilling.
For some definition of "economy", right? If it's not sustainable, it's not economy.
