Parts of the vast ice sheet of East Antarctica – which holds enough water to raise global sea levels by 53m – could begin an irreversible slide into the sea this century, causing an unstoppable process of global coastal destruction, scientists have warned.

It could... but then again, it couldn't.

Worry yourself with better things. Go on, chap... duties await.

The ice melts in Antarctica every year. Unlike the Arctic the antarctic loses its ice yearly. It was one of the reasons that ship got stuck. No one expected such a sudden return of the ice. The belief in the myth of global warming was too strong.

Sea Ice News: Volume 4 #1 &#8211; Arctic Ice gain sets a new record

With a few weeks of growth still to occur, the Arctic has blown away the previous record for ice gain this winter. This is only the third winter in history when more than 10 million km² of new ice has formed.

This continued growth of ice in the Arctic Antarctic make the arguments for ice mass loss in Antarctica rather hard to believe, something also backed up by ICESAT data.

If you say so. But I didn't knowthat university of Illinios or Cryosphere Today or Arctic Climate Research were "right wingnut" entities. Perhaps it would be the leftwingnuts and their bought and paid for scientists that are lying to the world, have you thought?

Now there's more ice at South Pole than ever

Sea ice extended over 19.44 million square kilometers (7.51 million square miles)
Ice around the South Pole has expanded to cover a record area, scientists revealed yesterday &#8211; a month after saying that the North Pole had lost an unprecedented amount of its ice.
Researchers say &#8211; rather confusingly &#8211; that both occurrences are down to the &#8216;complex and surprising&#8217; effects of global warming.
The record Antarctic sea ice cover was revealed in satellite images from the US National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado.

September 26, 2012, when ice covered more of the Southern Ocean than at any other time in the satellite record.

Growth: Ice around the South Pole has expanded to cover a record area. Emperor penguins are pictured on the ice

You're content to rely on 3% who deny global warming?

Climate Change: Consensus

Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists agree that climate-warming trends over the past century are very likely due to human activities,1and most of the leading scientific organizations worldwide have issued public statements endorsing this position. The following is a partial list of these organizations, along with links to their published statements and a selection of related resources.

Look, I'm pointing that that the scientific community isn't unified over this, and there is a totally different side to this constant drumbeat. We started out with Global Warming which was updated to this meaningless Climate Change, because the "warming" didn't really pan out. What is the point, that the climate is changing? Well duh, the Earth's climate is always changing. Unfortunately the cooling of the Sun, which is the cycle we are in now, effects the Earth's climate far greater than anything man imagines himself to be capable of.

Someone seems confused about the difference between seasonal sea ice and land ice. But then, such details escape almost all deniers. After all, if they understood the science, they wouldn't be deniers.

Oh, the Antarctic sea ice increase was correctly predicted by AGW science 20 years ahead of it. That's why AGW science has such credibility, because it keeps getting all the predictions correct.

So you're saying that when the seasonal ice melts, the sea will rise 53m? Really?

so why doesn't the AR5 report say that?

More rehashing eh boys?

Wow ...... When they go for the propaganda they go all out!

Of course the reality (which for some reason they seem loathe to tell you...) is that the Antarctic ice coverage is the HIGHEST it has ever been recorded.

WHHHHOOOOOPPPPS!

Sea ice extent has nothing to do with sea level. It is already in the ocean, so the formation or melting of it can make no difference.

On the other hand, land ice, on Antarctica or Greenland, could make a tremendous difference, if increasing amounts were to sliide into the ocean.

I'm surprised that so many skeptics are confused about this simple fact.

It's funny you position that statement that way. See I think the opposite, I think you all think that sea ice melting will increase levels. You may not know this, but there hasn't been any land ice that has broken off in Antarctica. Nor is there evidence that there will be due to warming.

Most land ice will slide off into the ocean due to hydraulics. It's slow, and just about in equalibrium because it gets replaced by new snows.

But Antartica is getting is getting more snow, increasing the weigth and speed of this moving ice. Thje funny news is - this will increase sea level, regardless of whether it warms or not.
