From those notorious conspiracy theorists NASA. ;)

 

A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.''

Good to see you posting sensible climate change research for once...

 

"the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed   to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008."

 

“We’re essentially in agreement with other studies that show an increase in ice discharge in the Antarctic Peninsula and the Thwaites and Pine Island region of West Antarctica,”

 

“If the losses of the Antarctic Peninsula and parts of West Antarctica continue to increase at the same rate they’ve been increasing for the last two decades, the losses will catch up with the long-term gain in East Antarctica in 20 or 30 years -- I don’t think there will be enough snowfall increase to offset these losses.”

 

“The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,” Zwally said. “But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for.”

 

Hope you didn't just read the first paragraph and whack it up as if it supported your lunatic conspiracy theories?

There is no such thing as man made global warming/ climate change. Almost nothing has happened since the alarm bells were rung in the early 90's. Sea ice goes up and down over thousands of years measuring it in decades is meaningless.

Almost?

''But far more reliable and relevant is the satellite data on atmospheric temperatures, which is not distorted by the location, coverage, and surrounding activities of land-based weather stations (highly unreliable outside the U.S. and Europe). The satellite data starts in 1979 and shows no increase in global temperature trends until 1998, when the El Niño that year caused a sharp temperature spike. The most recent temperature declines have now apparently completely offset that 1998 increase, leaving the satellite record with no net increase in global temperature for the past 30 years—or maybe even a slight decline.''

Why are you citing decade old discredited data?

Actually, don't bother, science really isn't your forte is it?

Terse. :lol:

 

It's been 30 years now. It's got a tiny bit hotter and it will get cooler again. Then what?

 

They've already admitted the alarmist predictions of the 90's hasn't happened. It's why they had to change the name to Climate change. ;)

They named it climate change because it's not a homogeneous warming effect and people like you don't get this. There's stacks of evidence the earth is warming at an alarming rate and, given the correlations with co2 levels and the unprecedented rate of change, it's highly likely to be anthropomorphic.

 

So tell me, are all these climatologists stupid or crooked? Which is it? Like most conspiracy theories, you'll not be able to provide a plausible motive or feasible implementation I bet.

Well Googled. Since that article was penned, in the famous scientific journal Forbes, we've had four consecutive record breaking years for temperature. Coincidence?

The survey finds that 24 percent of the scientist respondents fit the “Nature Is Overwhelming” model. "In their diagnostic framing, they believe that changes to the climate are natural, normal cycles of the Earth.” Moreover, “they strongly disagree that climate change poses any significant public risk and see no impact on their personal lives.”

 

It's a survey it don't matter if it's in Hello magazine does it?

 

The tide is turning Renty. :lol:

Funny though, because results from a meta-survey indicate 97% of scientists believe in anthropogenic climate change....

Yup, a climate change denier is in the White House. The world is indeed full of cretins.

You've become really unpleasant lately. Cheer up fella. :D

 

It's just a bit of banter on a football site after all. They say the back and its myriad of afflictions is closely connected to frustration and insecurity. ;)

I think it's the world that's become unpleasant tbh. Not exactly normal times we're living through.

 

The back was aggravated exercising but Carrying tension in the shoulders doesn't help matters.
