Considering it's a barren, unimaginably cold wasteland at the bottom of the world — where penguins far outnumber people — Antarctica is sure making a lot of news these days.

A recent study in the Journal of Glaciology reported that despite the effects of man-made global warming, the frozen continent is actually gaining ice rather than losing it.

The study, led by Jay Zwally, a NASA glaciologist, claims 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, especially in eastern and central portions of the continent.

When something occurs frequently throughout history, it is not abnormal. Climate change is a part of the geologic history of the earth, caused by astronomical perturbations, solar activity, "unplanned meetings" objects in the universe, as well as volcanoes, solar winds, etc. then add hot air politicians and corrupt so called "scientists" who are seeking grant money to fill their pockets. That's the low down dudes, it's just that simple.

And here's the rest of the article johnforbes selectively and dishonestly edited with the intent to deceive:

Meanwhile, another study out Monday said that the destabilization and eventual collapse of the massive West Antarctic ice sheet — because of global warming — would lead to as much as a nine-foot sea level rise worldwide, inundating coastal cities.

"What we call the eternal ice of Antarctica unfortunately turns out not to be eternal at all," said Johannes Feldmann of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. Feldmann is lead author of the second study, which appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

"In our simulations, 60 years of melting at the presently observed rate are enough to launch a process which is then unstoppable and goes on for thousands of years," Feldmann said in a release.

"This certainly is a long process," Feldmann added, "but it's likely starting right now."

How is this possible — can both studies be true? Yes, said Ted Scambos, a scientist with the National Snow and Ice Data Center, who was not directly involved in either study.

Scambos said that the first study is more of a short-term look at what's happening today and over the next couple decades in Antarctica, while the other is looking long-term at what will happen over centuries or even millennia if the planet continues to warm.

Additionally, he also questioned the methodology of the first study, saying that the claim of thickening ice in some portions of Antarctica could be based on incomplete data.

Overall, the long-term trend is what's most alarming: "It is clear that further greenhouse-gas emission will heighten the risk of an ice collapse in West Antarctica and more unstoppable sea-level rise," said co-author and sea-level expert Anders Levermann, also from the Potsdam Institute.

"It might be something to worry about, because it would destroy our future heritage by consuming the cities we live in — unless we reduce carbon emission quickly."


How can you dishonest scumbags stand to look at yourselves in the mirror without getting sick?

Lamar Smith, R-Texas, “It was inconvenient for this administration that climate data has clearly showed no warming for the past two decades,” Smith said in a statement. “The American people have every right to be suspicious when NOAA alters data to get the politically correct results they want and then refuses to reveal how those decisions were made. NOAA needs to come clean about why they altered the data to get the results they needed to advance this administration’s extreme climate change agenda. The agency has yet to identify any legal basis for withholding these documents. The committee intends to use all tools at its disposal to undertake its constitutionally-mandated oversight responsibilities.”

Smith also expressed suspicion that NOAA has a political motivation and rejected NOAA’s assertion of a “confidentiality interest” that he said was not recognized by his oversight committee. “Despite what some critics claim, the subpoena is not only about scientists,” he said. “Political operatives and other NOAA employees likely played a large role in approving NOAA’s decision to adjust data that allegedly refutes the hiatus in warming. The subpoena covers communications about that decision. The committee needs to understand the full context of NOAA’s decision-making process.”

His letter demands NOAA and the scientists’ global data sets, methods of analysis, and documents and communications related to sea temperature readings from buoys and ships from 2014-15.

How can a dishonest, lying scumbag like Comrade Pole Polisher AssClown Loser Lucky not insist on a unbiased, factual examination of facts rather than the usual libtard emotion driven, knee jerk reaction with a hidden political agenda?

I didn't edit the article or distort it.

All I did was post the beginning of it.

Unlike young master Clownhicker, I don't pretend to be a climate expert. In fact, I'm not one.

Nor is Clownhacker, despite his A.A. degree from Lower Bugtussle Junior College.

[Clownkicker]

You posted only the part that supported your beliefs but conveniently left out the part that disagrees with your beliefs.

You included no commentary to let anyone know what you did.
You included no commentary at all.
Your intent was to give misleading information to everyone on the board; to feed your supporters and deceive anyone who doesn't believe the same as you believe.
You did it knowing full well what you were doing.

You don't need to be a climate scientist to know you only posted half of the truth.
That makes you a dishonest scumbag weasel, johnny.
Live with it, you useless turd.

That's the low down dudes, it's just that simple. Anyone who "really" believes it's proven that's it's anything else is either stupid or naive.

[Intrepid]

Man caused global warming being revealed as a hoax clashes with the libtard political agenda so anyone who does not spout the official party line must be destroyed.

[Intrepid]

We also note that Comrade Knob Polisher AssClown Loser Lucky cannot refute the assertion that he will not call for unbiased study of the hoax of man caused global warming

Telling, very telling.

[Clownkicker]

Again, dimwit, why would I waste my life calling for a wild goose chase after an alleged hoax without any evidence?
I also don't call for a study of the existence of Santa Claus.
If you want to do it, spend your own money on it, you moron.

It's your job to prove there's a hoax, dimwit. You make the claim.
It's not my job to prove there isn't a hoax any more than it's my job to prove there isn't a Santa Claus.

[Intrepid]

And yet you waste time jumping every time I crack the whip.

You are owned.

[sillydaddy]

The Aztecs rulers used their knowledge....

of solar and lunar eclipses to frighten the people into obedience.

And Clown...there is a Santa Claus.....

he's in all of us, more in some than in others....even in you I bet.

[Clownkicker]

So are you saying we should spend public money on an "unbiased" investigation into the hoax of there being no Santa Claus? :lol:

[johnforbes]

Clownlacker is clawing for Claus relevance.

[RealJustme]

It's your job to prove there's a hoax, dimwit. You make the claim.

Actually in science it's the person who makes the claim that must prove it. I don't accept man made global warming because no one has proved it to me.

[Intrepid]

Comrade AssClown Light In The Loafers Loser Lucky can offer no proof to bolster his Ass-ertion that there is no Santa. But for some odd reason he still believes in Communism despite a similar lack of proof that it is a successful ideology. His faith in the myth of man caused global warming though is much stronger and certain than a five year olds belief in Santa. Comrade Jizz Gargler AssClown Loser Lucky says there is no God, but swears there is a fantasy known as global warming.
Is he stoned or stupid?

[johnforbes]

Clownhicker is insane.

I posted the beginning of an interesting article. That's not just fair use, but also quite fair to post the opening points in the article.

Why should I add commentary to the article?

Unlike young master Clownhicker, I don't pretend to be a climate expert.

[sillydaddy]

Because he wants history to remember him as the "climate change" President.....

Obama killed the Keystone pipeline and with it 42,000 jobs...

Obama actually works at being an asshole.

How can Muslim fund their wars if we don't buy their oil? Michelle just returned form her Middle East tour where Muslims treated her like a queen. It's not by accident that Obama is blocking our energy sources coming in from Canada.

It's acceptable to drill for oil or natural gas in the states and to use pipelines to transport crude to refineries or natural gas to people's homes for domestic consumption. To me that's a useful asset because it's beneficial to the nation.

I don't see how it's beneficial to the nation to have a foreign country to construct a pipeline to transport crude oil across the country to be shipped somewhere else?

It's more beneficial to hire 42,000 people to repair the crumbling infrastructure that the GOP seemingly ignores.

[Intrepid]

So, you stupid fuck, the oil is going to be transported no matter what this incredible asshole pretending to be president thinks. Only now it's going by rail. A much more dangerous and energy wasting method. Trains wreck. Trains burn diesel fuel. Pipelines are safe and efficient. Libtard are stupid, emotion driven, knee jerk reactionaries.
But we already knew that.

Let's all chant, HOPE AND CHANGE, YES WE CAN!

You fucking idiots.
