AIR CON: The Seriously Inconvenient Truth About Global Warming -- by Ian Wishart

The climate is NOT changing, the climate is in a constant state of change from when the Earth was created to now.To say we all agree the climate is changing is a lie.That refers to it changing "now" more than "before".Its not changing now anymore than it ever has so the climate is NOT changing.

The antarctic is currently losing about 100-150 cubic kilometers of ice per year according to two independent satellite measurements. The temperature in the interior is governed by the winds as is the sea ice - down slope cold winds cause the sea ice to fluctuate - the stronger the winds the more sea ice.

@drkstrong The satellite data of the WHOLE area shows as it loses ice it gains as much ice in another place.The ice moves it doesn't disappear.

[drkstrong]

@IdunCareLesSn00b Actually not. The measurements are made by two techniques. The classic way is to use laser altimetry which shines a laser beam on the ice and mesures the time it takes for the reflection to com back to the spacecraft. This give the volume of the ice form which you can calculate how much it is gaining or losing on different spots. The other measures the gravitational pull of the ice so you get its mass. Both methods agree showing an overall loss of ice in both ice caps.

@drkstrong Wrong , Antarctic Ice is growing , so say the Satelite Data . ( not Grace) Bing PROBLEMS WITH GRACE DATA .

[drkstrong]

@camcheck Which satellite data - the two main satellites looking at the problem are GRACE and ICEsat both come tot he same conclusion, See watch?v=jG9PdMlP63c

Ahhh... Someone who knows about Antarctica...We only get pics of "stranded" polar bears that can swim up to 400 miles per day for their food! Kudos..l.
