Out of curiosity, I copied your questions to AI. and got some well thought out answers. I'm not going down your rabbit hole with you, but you should check that out for yourself. Of course, a cult member such a yourself will never believe those explanations, but it won't hurt you to see a non-crazy explanation for your silly questions.

Ok. I have a few minutes to play now. I'll admit that I'm not a climate scientist, and am at a loss for your answers to those questions. Fortunately, the experts are easily available and have already supplied those answers.
Let's start with the first one.

The reason one polar region (Antarctica) has vastly more ice than the other (the Arctic) boils down to geography, climate, and ocean dynamics:


Why Antarctica Has So Much More Ice

• Land vs. Ocean: Antarctica is a massive continent surrounded by ocean, while the Arctic is an ocean surrounded by land. Land allows ice to accumulate and compact over millions of years into thick ice sheets. In contrast, Arctic ice mostly floats on water and is seasonal.
• Elevation & Cold: Antarctica’s average elevation is much higher, and it’s colder year-round. The interior can reach temperatures below –80°C, which preserves ice far more effectively than the relatively milder Arctic.
• Precipitation Patterns: Antarctica receives very little precipitation, but what does fall tends to stay frozen. The Arctic, being oceanic, has more dynamic weather and melting cycles.
• Ocean Currents: The Antarctic Circumpolar Current isolates the continent, keeping warm ocean waters at bay. The Arctic doesn’t have such a barrier, so warmer currents can intrude and melt ice from below.

Arctic Ice: Why It’s Less

• Seasonal Sea Ice: Most Arctic ice is sea ice that grows in winter and melts in summer. It’s thinner and more vulnerable to warming.
• Global Warming Impact: The Arctic is warming about twice as fast as the global average due to ice-albedo feedback — less ice means more sunlight absorbed, which accelerates melting.
• Human Proximity: The Arctic is closer to major population centers and shipping routes, which adds environmental stress.

So while both poles are icy realms, Antarctica is a frozen fortress, and the Arctic is more like a seasonal slush zone. Want to dive deeper into how this affects ecosystems or climate feedback loops?

The repub party has called it lies and propped up their "experts" to refute the science. We can expect to see extreme weather episodes going forward and that will lead to more loss of life and property.

The scientific method involves careful observation coupled with rigorous skepticism, because cognitive assumptions can distort the interpretation of the observation.

Of course, a cult member such a yourself will never believe those explanations, but it won't hurt you to see a non-crazy explanation for your silly questions.

The first answer is that 97% of Earth ice is on the two LAND MASSES closest to the pole (Antarctica 90%, Greenland 7%), and LAND MOVES... so CO2 has NOTHING TO DO with the amount of ice on Earth. It has to do with WHERE LAND IS. STRIKE ONE!!!

Did you take that same geology course that Westwall did which made him an expert in a vast range of scientific studies, or are you just repeating a bit of drivel you picked up from some conspiracy theory site? What are your credentials that make your pronouncements credible?

The oxygen isotope curve is annotated, dummy. Even you should be able to read it.

Oxygen isotopes are an extremely inaccurate proxy, distorted by volcanic eruptions that cause spikes "down" that are really UP...

While there are varying meteorological forces behind this month’s extreme rainfall, what has connected them all is significant amounts of atmospheric moisture pulsing above the country.

It is flowing from abnormally warm oceans across the Northern Hemisphere that are likely to stretch elevated flood risks into August, data shows — perhaps into record territory. The conditions are allowing plumes of tropical moisture to stretch into middle latitudes and stagnate there, sending flood risks surging and exemplifying a critical consequence of rising global temperatures that researchers have been predicting and tracking for decades.

Scientist have been warning for decades about climate change. As oceans warm, the added moisture in the atmosphere will lead to more super storms. The repub party has called it lies and propped up their "experts" to refute the science. We can expect to see extreme weather episodes going forward and that will lead to more loss of life and property. Insurance rates are already skyrocketing in parts of the country where these weather extremes are prevalent. We may be too late to change course.

First of all, let me point out that it's not "The Repub Party". Most hard left democrats demanding that we address "Climate Change" are themselves some of the worst climate change offenders with extensive use of private jets for luxury travel and their mega Yachts. So fix your own party before pointing fingers.

Carbon Dioxide is a 3 atom molecule, making it a heat absorbing molecule. Molecules with less than 3 atoms have a different frequency and do not absorb infrared radiation.

Before Catalytic converters, fossil fuel burning vehicles emitted mostly Carbon Monoxide CO.
It wasn't until Catalytic converters became widely used that heat trapping emissions became an issue with vehicles.
Industrial emissions today are controlled in the USA where they face heavy regulation. China is the worlds leading green house gas producer today. No matter what we do in the USA to combat climate change, until China is fully compliant is it a losing battle. Your focus on climate change pertaining to the USA is misguided. If you were actually knowledgeable on climate change you would be focusing on China, not the USA.

Electric vehicles are not the answer because their production does more environmental harm than fossil fuel burning vehicles over their lifetime. Until those issues are resolved your climate change woes cannot be resolved.

But humans do not yet possess the technology to replace oxidizing fuel sources such as fossil fuels and coal with energy conversion technologies (green technologies) to an extent that can completely replace oxidizing fuel sources.
During winters and periods of low winds, "Green Energy" becomes questionable.

Lastly, "Climate Change" is largely an agenda propped up by those positioned to greatly benefit from the sale and use of those technologies. While there is some truth to carbon dioxide emissions and rising temperatures, it is exaggerated for the reason mentioned above.

The difference being that I kno my limitation and need to

Soooo. No credentials then, right? Sorry, but I need more than a quote from a conspiracy theory site.

I see your limitations.

 

[Robert W]

Then why should you repeating conspiracy theory drivel be taken seriously?

Nothing I say is like that.

Then your education fallacy is all you have to offer here.

Cheers.

She is suffering from education fallacy and trying to stop debate/discussion because she wants total dependence on scientists to be the standard for compliance who are human who have been wrong plenty of times on this topic already.

You seem so invested in the belief that those questions that you obviously copied from some anti-science site would disprove man made climate change. Like a good little cult member, you didn't bother checking if the questions were even relevant. Here's the next one. Do you think you can figure out the answers to the rest, or must they all be hand fed to you?
Why Greenland Has Ice Age Glaciers South of the Arctic Circle

• Massive Ice Sheet Legacy: Greenland’s ice sheet formed over 2.6 million years ago and still blankets ~80% of the island. Even areas south of the Arctic Circle remain glaciated because the ice sheet is so thick and persistent.
• High Elevation & Cold Interior: Much of Greenland’s terrain is elevated and deeply inland, where temperatures stay frigid year-round. This helps preserve ancient ice even at lower latitudes.
• Isolation from Warm Currents: Greenland’s interior is shielded from oceanic warmth, unlike coastal Alaska. This isolation helps maintain glacial stability.
• Ice Sheet “Memory”: Greenland’s ice has a long memory — it retains layers from past climate epochs, including the last Ice Age. Some of this ice is over a million years old.

Why Alaska North of the Arctic Circle Doesn’t Have Ice Age Glaciers

• Mountain Glaciers, Not Ice Sheets: Alaska’s glaciers are mostly alpine — smaller and more sensitive to climate shifts. They formed in mountain ranges and retreated significantly after the last Ice Age.
• Lower Elevation & Warmer Airflows: Northern Alaska, especially the Brooks Range, has lower elevations and is more exposed to warming air masses. Glaciers there retreated into cirques and valleys after ~14,000 years ago.
• • Dry Conditions: Parts of Arctic Alaska are surprisingly dry. Less snowfall means less accumulation to sustain glaciers long-term.
  • Post-Ice Age Retreat: While Alaska was heavily glaciated during the Ice Age, most of that ice melted during the Holocene. Today, only small remnants remain, and many are modern formations rather than preserved Ice Age glaciers.
  • So even though Alaska reaches farther north, Greenland’s continental ice sheet and geological insulation allow it to hold onto its ancient ice — while Alaska’s mountain glaciers were more vulnerable to warming and erosion.

Learn some science.

I am constantly amazed at the instant internet experts here spouting about concepts they are not qualified to evaluate, but positive they have found the simple answer to highly complex problems that muddle the experts. As always, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
