Antarctic sea ice now at a new record high

Recommended Posts

There is more frozen ocean surrounding Antarctica than has ever been measured:

Although nature seems to be balancing the ice loss at the top and the bottom of the world, there is no such balance in the world of publishing and television. Whenever we set a record for large amounts of sea ice the media world seems compelled to find a reason why this does not contradict man made global warming.

Back in 2007 the amount of sea ice left over at the end of the summer in the Arctic at the top of the world was the lowest since the satellite measurements began in 1979. At the same time the amount of sea ice surrounding Antarctica at the bottom of the world set a new record for the most sea ice. That record large amount of ice got almost no attention, all the talk was about how little ice was left in the Arctic at the end of the melt season.

Advance five years later to 2012 and the same thing has happened again. We have record low ice extent in the Arctic and record large ice extent surrounding Antarctica.

Climate models attempt to predict what the future temperature of our world will look like decades into the future. These models make many significant assumptions about how the climate system of our world works. If any of these important assumptions are incorrect it will have a detrimental effect on any future predictions rendering any results useless. For example, climate models have failed to predict the increase in Antarctic sea ice and in fact have predicted the opposite.

Antarctic Sea Ice Sets Another Record:

Antarctic sea ice set another record this past week, with the most amount of ice ever recorded on day 256 of the calendar year (September 12 of this leap year). Please, nobody tell the mainstream media or they might have to retract some stories and admit they are misrepresenting scientific data.

As meteorologist Anthony Watts explains, new data show ice mass is accumulating on the Antarctic continent as well as in the ocean surrounding Antarctica. The new data contradict an assertion by global warming alarmists that the expanding Antarctic sea ice is coming at the expense of a decline in Antarctic continental ice.

The new data also add context to sensationalist media stories about declining ice in small portions of Antarctica, such as portions of West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula (see here, for example). The mainstream media frequently publish stories focusing on ice loss in these two areas, yet the media stories rarely if ever mention that ice is accumulating over the larger area of East Antarctica and that the continent as a whole is gaining snow and ice mass.

Nice find Karlis. The lack of honest/complete reporting is shameful. Thanks for sharing this.
