"SEA ICE IS PROJECTED TO SHRINK IN BOTH THE ARCTIC & ANTARCTIC"... so professed the IPCC in their Fourth Assessment Report back in 2007.
But since the prophecy - Antarctic sea ice has continued to expand; and expand rapidly.
According to the US National Snow and Ice Data Center, currently the sea ice in the Antarctic is more than 1,500,000 sq km ABOVE ‘average’.

SEA ICE VOLUME FLUCTUATES BY SEASON
BUT THE OVERALL TREND STILL REFLECTS DECLINE
MADNESS! -
DIAFIS - Die in a fucking ice shelf!

May the off- season of pressing commence...

Indeed. But this season's pressing should be much funner since Sark is gone.MisterEm said:May the off- season of pressing commence...

I hate the offseason.

The condescending little cocksucker is right. I'm no pinko white guilt commie. But The pace of shrinking or flat out elimination of glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere especially is shocking . Watch Chasing Ice sometime. Very well done and some incredible shots of shelf breaks.CollegeDoog said:THIS JUST IN:

If you're not condescending, you're doing it wrong.salemcoog said:

This is the fucking internet.

It's not condescension if the other guy is a fucking retard.

I'm not disagreeing that there are issues with ice volume, but your first graph is for Antarctic ice while your second is for Arctic ice, which are two different things. I'd be interested in finding out if the decreasing northern ice shelf is somewhat counterbalanced by an increasing southern ice shelf. Everyone always mentions the Arctic when they want a reaction for climate change/global warming/whatever the fuck you want to call it, but the Antarctic seems to be relatively ignored. I seriously doubt the Antarctic is increasing at a rate significant enough to counterbalance the rate of decay in the Arctic, but I couldn't find any legitimate graphs out there showing what Antarctic ice is doing. Even when I specifically searched for Antarctic graphs all it gave me were Arctic ones.CollegeDoog said:THIS JUST IN:

From what I found the Antarctic ice is not changing or maybe even increasing. However the Global Sea Ice Index which accounts for both the Arctic and Antarctic sea ice is on the decline.
-
Global sea ice has shrunk by 4% over the past 30 years. EVERYBODY PANIC
-
-
30 years is a lot compared to several billion
-
Let's just ignore every piece of climate data because we can't possibly make any accurate statements ever because the Earth is really old.
-
-
I was using your chart to get the 4% number, CollegeDoog.
You need to step away from the keyboard and fuck a 170 pound coed already. -
And when you start linking real world solutions I'll give a shit

What rule was constructing a straw man?
-
Maybe the poor bears should MOVE to Antarctica. Abundance.

Did collegedoog stop emitting carbon in his daily life? That's what I thought.

Stupid website.

It's middle of the summer in Antarctica dumb ass.CollegeDoog said:THIS JUST IN:

Do people really get paid for this bullshit? I hope those ice scientists freeze to death out there on that ship
-
Hooray! THAT'S THE PROBLEM! Nobody in history, who was PAID BY THE GOVERNMENT (who doesn't give a shit about spending money) to investigate a potential problem ever found NO PROBLEM! They always find BIG FUCKING PROBLEMS REQUIRING THEM TO GET PAID MORE TO STUDY THE BIG FUCKING PROBLEM THEY JUST DISCOVERED.phineas said:Do people really get paid for this bullshit?

I'm betting that the guys getting paid to study Big Bertha's big mysterious problem downtown definitely need a couple hundred more million dollars to STUDY THE FUCKING PROBLEM before it can get fixed. After all, it's not like they have a REAL timeline, LIKE PEOPLE WHO DEPEND ON MAKING A PROFIT TO FUCKING SURVIVE!

"why is there ice here" hahahaha
