OH my Arctic glaciers are melting!!! Wait where are the glaciers going???

[healthmyths]

Shrinking glaciers, Arctic temperatures and a mix of messy energy politics await President Barack Obama on his historic trip to Alaska. Even before he departed, Obama was making waves with a decision to rename Alaska's famed Mount McKinley despite a backlash from Ohio politicians.

Obama flies to Anchorage on Monday morning for a three-day tour of the nation's largest state, closely choreographed to call attention to the ways Obama says climate change is already damaging Alaska's stunning scenery. By showcasing thawing permafrost, melting sea ice and eroding shorelines, Obama hopes to raise the sense of urgency to deal quickly to slow climate change in the U.S. and overseas.

BUT WAIT!!!!
While Arctic sea ice continues to decline,
Antarctic levels are confounding the world’s most trusted climate models with record highs for the third year running.

Karl Mathiesen investigates.
Antarctic ice floes extended further than ever recorded this southern winter, confounding the world’s most-trusted climate models.
“It’s not expected,” says Professor John Turner, a climate expert at the British Antarctic Survey. “The world’s best 50 models were run and 95% of them have Antarctic sea ice decreasing over the past 30 years.”

The winter ice around the southern continent has been growing relatively constantly since records began in 1979. The US National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSIDC), which monitors sea ice using satellite data, said this week that the year’s maximum was 1.54m sq km (595,000 sq miles) above the 1981-2010 average. The past three winters have all produced record levels of ice.
Why is Antarctic sea ice at record levels despite global warming?

The very idea that anything done by the U.S. government could have ANY affect on Arctic (or southern) sea ice is a conceit so preposterous it must have been invented on a college campus.

Utterly ridiculous.

Trust this. Facts will not matter one bit to the insidious assholes on the left. They are all losers.

Get ready for the stats loser to come in and post his stupid shit that he thinks is so smart.

But remember... Arctic ice melts will be reduced if Obama has his plan to bankrupt electric utilities and as Obama promises your utility rates will skyrocket!
Here are his exact words:
“So, if somebody wants to build a coal plant, they can – it’s just that it will bankrupt them.” President Obama, 2008 http://www.BattleBornPAC.com
Obama: "Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket." (January 2008) http://www.BattleBornPAC.com

Right! But thank goodness it is Ice and as I've written before:

In 1880, the U.S. brought together a group they considered the world’s smartest people to answer one pressing question…
What will New York City look like in 100 years? New York was in full bloom. It was an unprecedented hub of entrepreneurship and innovation.


The team of big brains plugged their gourds together and mulled it over…They talked. They argued. They rubbed their chins and massaged the bulging veins in their foreheads.

They all came to a unanimous agreement.
“In 100 years time,” they said (in essence), “probably well before, New York will be…” Wait for it…“… completely destroyed!”
Yep. That was their conclusion and they were sticking to it.

How did they come to such a drastic determination? Well, look no further than the population boom. And… horses.
In the early 1800s, there were about 30,000 people in New York. And by 1880, that number had ballooned to nearly four million.
The city’s population had, on average, doubled in size every decade. The brainiacs assumed that this trend would continue.
And in assuming this trend to continue, they began to wonder how all of these people would get around. Horrified, they began to imagine all the horses the city would need. By 1980, the team concluded, New York would need more than six million horses. Six million!
And six million horses presents an obvious problem. The city already had 200,000 horses in 1880.
Each one, they somehow calculated, dumped a quart of urine and 24 pounds of manure every day.
That’s 4.8 million pounds of horse dung and 50,000 gallons of pee already being dumped into the streets… every. single. day.
Needless to say, horse waste was already a problem. The city was already drowning in it. “The stench was omnipresent,” one writer, Eric Morris, wrote in his urban planning Masters thesis… “Urban streets were minefields that needed to be navigated with the greatest care,” the thesis reads. “‘Crossing sweepers’ stood on street corners; for a fee they would clear a path through the mire for pedestrians. Wet weather turned the streets into swamps and rivers of muck, but dry weather brought little improvement; the manure turned to dust, which was then whipped up by the wind, choking pedestrians and coating buildings. “…even when it had been removed from the streets the manure piled up faster than it could be disposed of…early in the century farmers were happy to pay good money for the manure, by the end of the 1800s stable owners had to pay to have it carted off. As a result of this glut…vacant lots in cities across America became piled high with manure; in New York these sometimes rose to forty and even sixty feet.”
Worse, manure is breeding ground for flies. And flies spread disease. Typhoid outbreaks, Morris wrote, “and “infant diarrheal disease can be traced to spikes in fly population.” Now times that situation by 30.
It slowly dawned on our intrepid researchers that by 1980, New York’s poor sidewalks and streets would gather 144 million pounds of dung… and be awash with 1,500,000 gallons of horse urine.

[healthmyths]

Glaciers were Already Retreating Before 1900
The supposed poster child glacier for global warming in Alaska is Mendenhall Glacier…
except that it had already retreated one mile by the early 1900s, long before human greenhouse gas emissions could be blamed.

Furthermore, its retreat is uncovering large tree stumps approximately 1,000 years old, coincidentally coinciding with the (naturally-caused) Medieval Warm Period, back when the Vikings were able to farm in Greenland.

Which begs the question: How could it have been warm enough to grow giant trees 1,000 years ago in an area now covered in ice? We don’t know why it was so warm 1,000 years ago—climate scientists don’t like to talk about it because they can’t explain it — but for some reason they are sure that your SUV is causing current warmth.

Which is why they changed to climate change. That way no matter what the weather does, they will be able to claim it is due to human activity.

Also....


They will take credit for the environment "improving."

You under estimate how stupid their followers are. I really do not think their stupidity has any limits.

 

[Derideo_Te]

The OP doesn't understand that ice floats and that as it melts it thins and spreads out to cover a larger area?

It isn't the area of Arctic ice that matters as much as the volume of ice. It is a 3 dimensional problem and the ice thickness is the missing factor from the OP's rant.

 

[mamooth]

The Bush administration created the term "Climate Change", so that they didn't have to say "global warming".

And as Owl here illustrates with almost all of his posts, any denier should always initially be assumed to be lying, unless independent evidence indicates otherwise. All of the evidence contradicts their religious beliefs, hence lying is the only tactic available to them.

Oh, Antarctic sea ice is currently below the historical average.

That may change again, as such things do. We could get into a technical discussion on it, but there's little point, as the deniers on this thread are all literally too 'effin stuid to understand any of it. Dunning-Kruger Syndrome poster children, the lot of them. That is, profoundly stupid people are simply too damn stupid to ever understand how stupid they are.

So, the OP didn't understand the science. None of the deniers do. That's the point. They're just squealing about things they don't understand because their political cult told them to squeal.

I thought that the US was only 3% of the surface. What is the expected change to 3% of a land mass on 97% of the globe?

And BTW, what is the change?
