Antarctic ice is growing, not melting away

• Ice expanding in much of Antarctica
• Eastern coast getting colder
• Western section remains a concern

ICE is expanding in much of Antarctica, contrary to the widespread public belief that global warming is melting the continental ice cap.

The results of ice-core drilling and sea ice monitoring indicate there is no large-scale melting of ice over most of Antarctica, although experts are concerned at ice losses on the continent's western coast.

Antarctica has 90 per cent of the Earth's ice and 80 per cent of its fresh water, The Australian reports. Extensive melting of Antarctic ice sheets would be required to raise sea levels substantially, and ice is melting in parts of west Antarctica. The destabilisation of the Wilkins ice shelf generated international headlines this month.

However, the picture is very different in east Antarctica, which includes the territory claimed by Australia.

East Antarctica is four times the size of west Antarctica and parts of it are cooling. The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research report prepared for last week's meeting of Antarctic Treaty nations in Washington noted the South Pole had shown "significant cooling in recent decades".

Australian Antarctic Division glaciology program head Ian Allison said sea ice losses in west Antarctica over the past 30 years had been more than offset by increases in the Ross Sea region, just one sector of east Antarctica.
"Sea ice conditions have remained stable in Antarctica generally," Dr Allison said.

The melting of sea ice - fast ice and pack ice - does not cause sea levels to rise because the ice is in the water. Sea levels may rise with losses from freshwater ice sheets on the polar caps. In Antarctica, these losses are in the form of icebergs calved from ice shelves formed by glacial movements on the mainland.

Last week, federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett said experts predicted sea level rises of up to 6m from Antarctic melting by 2100, but the worst case scenario foreshadowed by the SCAR report was a 1.25m rise.

Mr Garrett insisted global warming was causing ice losses throughout Antarctica. "I don't think there's any doubt it is contributing to what we've seen both on the Wilkins shelf and more generally in Antarctica," he said.
Dr Allison said there was not any evidence of significant change in the mass of ice shelves in east Antarctica nor any indication that its ice cap was melting. "The only significant calvings in Antarctica have been in the west," he said. And he cautioned that calvings of the magnitude seen recently in west Antarctica might not be unusual.

"Ice shelves in general have episodic carvings and there can be large icebergs breaking off - I'm talking 100km or 200km long - every 10 or 20 or 50 years."

Ice core drilling in the fast ice off Australia's Davis Station in East Antarctica by the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Co-Operative Research Centre shows that last year, the ice had a maximum thickness of 1.89m, its densest in 10 years. The average thickness of the ice at Davis since the 1950s is 1.67m.

A paper to be published soon by the British Antarctic Survey in the journal Geophysical Research Letters is expected to confirm that over the past 30 years, the area of sea ice around the continent has expanded.

Pacific Northwest Snow Pack - the True Story

I know from personal experience that the governor is fabricating her claims that the snowpack is declining.
And last winter over 6 feet of snow fell in my yard in
less than a few weeks time.

Carbon Market Clouded by Uncertainty

Hi Folks,

Here is a new article on the BBC News service about Carbon Trading. Its worth reading.

BBC NEWS | Business | Carbon market clouded by uncertainty

Enjoy,

@everybody

Hey I've an idea, what if we get solar eclipses photos of over last 20 years and we put them in diapositive transition comparing the corona, and we try to get a relation with earth's temp levels.

[morpher44]

lets get off this planet!!!!

I'm a big fan of the space program.

There are lots of solutions here about using less power, reducing
our carbon footprint, reduce population, eat alfalfa sprouts and
chlorella ...

Geez... lets get out of here and go where no man has gone before.
This planet is toast!!!!

I think we should crank up the industrial complex even higher --
along the lines of what Colbert is proposing -- so that things
are so bad on this planet ... that we just have to move!!!

That will stimulate the economy big time as we work towards
being a space fairing race and get off this rock.
Everyone knows the space program was the ONLY
government works program that turned a profit due
to HUGE spin-offs in technology and material science.

Honestly ... wouldn't you rather be fighting aliens and trying
to take their technologies and putting them on little
planetary reservation ... than sitting around hear melting
and struggling for breath on a planet doomed to fail
as the population spirals out of control??
Lets face it ...humanoids are parasites who
consume all ... and move on ... like space fairing
locusts.

Where are the mad scientists when you need them???
I'm only half joking...

Serious Thread Topic

Please Folks,

Climate Change and related issues are a serious topic, and deserve people's undistracted consideration.

If you wish to post OFF-TOPIC comments, or any other Buffalo Pancakes, please do it elsewhere.

Hadley CRU hacked with release of hundreds of docs and emails

The Essex County Conservative Examiner has an interesting article about the global warming swindle and data manipulation in practice:

Astonishing!!!

Lamare,

Thank you for that last post! If this information holds up, I'd say you've found the "smoking gun" of the Global Warming Hoax.

Let's see what happens next.

Lamare,

Thank you for that last post! If this information holds up, I'd say you've found the "smoking gun" of the Global Warming Hoax.

Well, I haven't found anything really, just happened to run across this news on some (Dutch) "alternative" news site.

Anyway, it looks like this is going in the right direction and is even beginning to appear at the main stream media:

The Guardian:
Climate sceptics claim leaked emails are evidence of collusion among scientists | Environment | guardian.co.uk

Nature (!):
Leading British climate centre hacked : Nature News

New Scientist:
Hacker breaks into climate change research institution - Short Sharp Science - New Scientist

The Register, not too big, but not unimportant in computer science world:
Wrecking CRU: hackers cause massive climate data breach • The Register

And, last but certainly not least...... The BBC:
BBC News - Hackers target leading climate research unit
"A university spokesman confirmed the email system had been hacked and that information was taken and published without permission."

Oh my...

When can we take to the streets for this?

Can mainstream media ignore this?

documents

I downloaded the file and went through a bunch of documents.

There are 2 major things that points to this having more than
50% probability of being real, in my opinion.

1. The head honcho at their department admitted their email server was
broken into and email was stolen and published without permission. He said
it appears to be genuine (what is posted online).

2. If you go randomly through all the documents and look at the properties,
they are all dated back almost 10 years ago with all corresponding dates
that match the time when they were supposed to take place.
Yes, it is possible to manipulate that data in a document.

BUT, if this is a hoax, it is probably a record breaker. lol I cannot see one
individual orchestrating that himself even over a long time, possible, but
it would have to be like a serious intelligence unit to pull together such
detail.

I only glanced over a bunch of the mail randomly so I certainly don't
know the whole thread of them but if even 1 or 2 of those email are true,
it is profoundly incredible.
