CONT'D Summing up, 6 empirical tests for CAGW, and 6 failures. Our host, Herr Grunmann, and other alarmists try to keep that fact hidden-in this comment thread by silently i

@smartalek65

jeez. spam much?

sorry, empirical data from GRACE satellites, much more current than the outdated stuff you cite, shows negative mass balance in both Greenland and Antarctica.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Don't be misled by people who have forsaken themselves. 97% of climate scientists believe man made global warming is real, and are peer reviewed. I wouldn't even bother anymore with these lobbyists. Every post can easily be debunked or proven wrong & or misleading. It bears no fruit to flood out others opinions & thoughts with the meanderings of people with pages of counter measures.

don't get caught up in the hype purposed by those who would profit from lies or deter you from the truth so they can serve their own purposes w/e they may be, all be it factually inaccurate , while never actually making a valid point.

@greenman3610 Testy? LOL! It's called responding in kind, dude. You use words clearly intended offensively with individuals you've never met (and I doubt would use face-to-face), and you talk of someone seeming "Testy?" That's comical! You want less "testy" replies, lose the 'tude. Discuss the science without the offensive phrasings. Here, the word is "poser" that's clearly offensive in nature and intent. Remember who first used it on whom here.

@smartalek65

you're kind of testy about this.

[smartalek65]

@greenman3610 The "poser" here is YOU, Herr Grunmann. I present science, you answer with rhetoric. Epic FAIL!

[greenman3610]

@greenman3610

I should also say that water temps are key. and remember, "heat" is different than "temperature". Water that is 34 degrees F contains a *lot* more heat than ice at 32.

So a tiny increase in ocean temps surrounding greenland glaciers is like applying a blowtorch to the leading edge of ice streams.

[greenman3610]

@smartalek65

that's why I place so much weight on the observations of our most experienced polar scientists, who have spent their lives confirming these satellite observations with real, boots on the ground and eyeballs on the ice.

real experience. perhaps its something that posers like you will never understand.

@smartalek65 Interesting, cause here is the abstract from Monaghan and Bromwich's 2008 paper in "Nature Geoscience": In the past decade, new observational platforms and improved modelling of the polar climate systems have led to a quantification of recent Arctic and Antarctic climate changes and to a tentative suggestion of causality. A mounting body of literature indicates that the changes in Arctic and Antarctic climate are consistent with the human-induced warming that is occurring globally.

@smartalek65 Fuck off spammer.

@christo930

yes, it's 40 below sometimes in the Arctic - but the key temperature is not measured by land based thermometers - it's in the ocean. It's a small rise in ocean temps that is delivering a tremendous amount of heat to the underside of the sea ice, and the edges of the ice sheets - and that's what is driving the rapid change - as feedbacks like albedo change kick in.
