Temperature hits 49.3 C (120.7F)

I saw your politics on display. I am not fooled. And even you admit IPCC answers to governments. Part of the political system.

 

The reason the ice calves off into the sea is there is MORE ice on top that drives them into the ocean. Study this to learn about it.

 

And the glaciers move and land in the ocean why? Gee there is more ice shoving them into the sea. Elementary dear watson.

 

Antarctic sea ice extents are at record lows right now.

that is part of the problem, people not earning enough to pay federal taxes

 

They earn enough, but democrats forgive them of a duty

 

I don't mind at all.

 

Sea ice extents are an important metric because that is what modulates albedo. Less extent means less albedo thus leading to more warming.

 

Frankly the day they tell me the clouds are vanishing is the day I get alarmed. The day there is no water vapor I shall panic right with you. Alarmists run around in a state of fear is my observation.

 

This does not even deserve an answer it is that freaking idiotic


It is the equivalent of demanding someone prove that the moon is not made of green cheese

 

And after me showing a post that the MELTED ICE (you know the stuff that turns to water) has caused a rise in sea level

 

Learn to read where does it say the ice is calving? And IF it were do you not think we might notice more icebergs floating about?

 

Yeah just another "prediction" in a long line of failed predictions from "the sky is falling crowd".

Isn't NY already supposed to be under water by now?

 

No but the very fact there is. Disagreement at times amongst the scientist demonstrates the robustness of the science

Oh! And thanks for the hyperbole and the strawman

 

Actually it's tied with 2008 and 2010.

Yeah it's very robust. That's why NY went underwater 10 years ago.

 

Sometimes words are not enough to convey how stupid a post is

 

if they are not paying a federal tax they are either too poor to pay or Donald Trump (IE too Rich to pay)

 

Pity the January record for Antartica shows record lows

But it seems you have been mixing the data from the two poles so here is the arctic data

1979 called and want's its record back.

For the 40-year satellite record, the years coming closest to the 2018 extent are 1979 and 2016.

 

They must have been some carbon producing fools in 1000 AD.

 

Sure. Them being wrong in all their projections is just proof that they're right.

 

Damn what were they burning 14 thousand years ago? Those people were nuts.

 

No, I'm sorry. That is not correct. Right now, as of January 3rd, 2019, Antarctic sea ice extent is 4.89e6 km^2. On that date In 2008 and 2010 it was 8.62e6 and 6.81e6 respectively. There is quite literally 40% less ice today than in 2008. The Antarctic minimum extent record was set in 2017. 2018 was not far behind it though.

The link you provided is mainly in reference to the Arctic (NH) region and not the Antarctic (SH) region. The link I gave you has both NH and SH data. You should take a look at it. It's provided by the same institution as the link you posted here.

 

A lot of CO2 was being released into the atmosphere at this time. Interesting isn't it? That is CO2 caused warming in the past just like it does today because man-made CO2 molecules behave exactly like nature-made molecules.
