Antarctic Sea Ice Up Over 43% Since 1980, Where Is The Media?
Global Warming Hoax
10 Aprile 2009
Sea ice at Antarctica is up over 43% since 1980 and we hear nothing in the news,
yet Arctic ice is down less than 7% and they're all over it! We've been waiting
for the main stream media to pick up on the increase of Antarctic ice but so far
they're been totally absent. Guess its doesn't fit the plan.
Still no sign of the national media on the
extraordinary growth of sea ice at the antarctic. They sure haven't missed a
chance to point out the relatively small loss of ice at the arctic. Did did it
ever occur to them that perhaps there is a natural process at work that has
shifted ice growth from one pole to the other? Do they not want to admit that
there are things man doesn't yet understand about how this planet works?
Remember that some of the “models” predicted increased antarctic ice,
but they predicted increased “interior ice” due to increased snow fall.
None of the
models predicted increased sea ice around the antarctic. Yet that is what we
have, and
not just a little increase but a 43%
increase since 1980!. This is highly significant yet hardly anyone in
the main stream media (MSM) is talking about it.
Sea ice is much
different than interior ice. Some of the models predicted increased ice over the
interior of antarctic. If you've ever lived in the extreme cold temperature
regions you already understand this. When it gets very cold the air become drier
and it snows less, as the temperature warms towards freezing it actually snows
more. Since the antarctic rarely even gets close to freezing its understandable
that warming would cause more snow fall. Over time compacted snow would lead to
more ice. But that is not what is happening here. We're seeing a dramatic
increase in “sea ice”, this ice is over the ocean. Sea ice is caused by colder
temperatures, not by increased snow fall. An increase of 43% is highly
significant, but we hear nothing from either the MSM or the scientific
community. Especially compared to the out 6%-7% decrease at the arctic (this
isn't year over year, this is a 6% decline since 1980!).
Antarctic Sea Ice for March
Extent Concentration
2009 5.0 million sq km 2.9 million sq km
1997 3.8 million sq km 2.2 million sq km
1980 3.5 million sq km 2.0 million sq km
This
is an increase of 45% for ice concentration since 1980. This continues a
long trend that has been noted here for several months..
Interior ice is
also increasing but not due to warming as the models have predicted. According
to NOAA GISS data winter temperatures in the antarctic have actually fallen by
1°F since 1957, with the coldest year being 2004. All the while global CO2
levels have gone up and the main stream media has been reporting near
catastrophic warming conditions. They regularly show Antarctic sea ice shelves
breaking apart, which is an entirely normal process (though they never tell you
that part). The main stream media and certain segments of the scientific
community truly must have no shame.
If you have doubts about the increase
in ice you can run the numbers yourself at the
National Snow and Ice Data Center's website (part
of the University of Colorado and funded by the National Science
Foundation).

Michael Asher Blog about climate modelers trying
to explain antarctic warming.... agh .. cooling....agh... warming it's
delightful.
