phantomcolts2 - This is how you show an image in the microwave bandwidths that is able to see ice best. Perhaps you can explain what color we show microwave pictures in?

This is the kind of reaction that I expected. Anyone who makes any kind of point or states any kind of argument in opposition to your stance on the validity of global warming is met with this kind of statement. It always ends with mud slinging. No comment or argument that I have made was insulting or condescending in any form. But you global warming backers always insist that your intellect cannot be challenged by any opposition. Thank you for demonstrating this to the world.

@JeffId1 Interesting you brought our attention to ice shelves, by the way, because the ice shelves are the most dramatic pathway from which ice is being lost from Antarctica. I was more familiar with the Arctic research (where multi-year sea-ice (or the recent lack of it) matters), but looking at Antarctica, seems it's the ice shelves (fed by glaciers) where ice is being lost. Yet another angle from which the uploaded video is not relevant, despite what your audience ("blogeglog" et al) claims.

This video is sorta like watching ice melt. :-) Nothing like some good ol' data to get the anthropogenic climate changers all aflutter. Next up - Global Cooling... it's the new Global Warming! Invest in global re-warming technologies now, and don't forget to tax the naysayers silly until they increase their CO2 production!

@JeffId1 Another dishonest remark. The two highest rated comments on your video say "shows what nonsense this whole global warming scare is" and "warming seems to hit Antarctica for about six months out of every year? ;)" - neither merited a correction from you. Nor did any similar comments. In fact, you said earlier "the drop in sea ice is not statistically significant", implying you incorrectly beleived this was an argument against global warming. At least be honest with yourself.

@dalellll

I don't deny global warming

See radiative-physics-simplified at the air vent.

I am skeptical about predicitons. You could use a bit of critical thinking work yourself sir. All this video did was present the data, you are the one making conclusions.

@JeffId1 Why would you think "record high sea-ice in the Antarctic" matters when, as I have pointed out 5 times, climatic change manifests as perennial - not annual - trends? Records are fleeting, climate is not.

I take it you have no response to anything else i raised. TBH i'm a bit disgusted you would jump on me for mis-typing "ice shelves" instead of "sea ice" (when it was clear what i referred to), and yet have no response to the highlighting of your much less accidental disingenuous-ness.

@JeffId1 "Stepped in the poo"; oh sure, because i accidentally typed "ice shelves" instead of sea-ice. I was clearly referring to your comment "There isn't any century old sea ice on earth."

You're thinking about the Skate. Actually, there are no pictures of it surfacing at the pole (though it did do so); but that's neither here nor there. Subs have to hunt around for frozen leads in the Arctic, where the ice is thin enough to surface. The reason? They can't surface under multi-year ice.
