Antarctic ice caps continue to grow…..set new record

  Back in December a group of climate scientists traveled to the Antarctic to get a first hand account of the melting ice caps only to end up getting stuck in the non-existent ice. This little setback did not deter them from still making the claim that global warming exist’s, and in fact they actually tried to claim that because there was ice where they did not think there would be that it was more proof of global warming.

  Well, global warming must have ratcheted up a notch since that point in time because the Antarctic ice caps continue to grow according to this story. In fact the Antarctic ice caps have set a new record:

Antarctic sea ice coverage reached record levels for April, hitting 3.5 million square miles — the largest on record.

It was a cold summer down in Antarctica, with sea ice coverage growing about 43,500 square miles a day, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSDC). April 2014 beats the previous sea-ice coverage record from April 2008 by a whopping 124,000 square miles.

But even with autumn in full swing in the South Pole, “record levels continue to be set in early May,” reports the NSDC. Sea ice levels have been “significantly above” satellite data averages for 16 consecutive months.

    This comes on the heels of the story about the Alaskan polar bears; it turns out they were indeed threatened by the ice as we have always been told. But it is not melting ice which threatens them but rather thick ice because it is making it harder for them to find food. It turns out the logic used to scare us was flawed:

There were comparably high levels of spring ice in the Beaufort Sea in 2004 and 2006, when bear counts were “one of the pieces of evidence used to have the bears listed as ‘threatened’ in the U.S.,” Crockford pointed out.

“Polar bear biologists were finding some bears quite thin and found a population decline,” she said, which they attributed to melting summer ice caused by global warming.

“But the biologists were not there to see the thick [spring] ice. All they saw was thin bears,” she pointed out. “They blamed the poor condition of the bears on summer ice, instead of acknowledging that it was likely the condition of the ice in the spring that was the cause of the problem.”

  The reason the polar bear population was declining in that region was because the bears moved to where the food was, not because they had no place to live.

  And this new story comes after yesterday’s story about the Himalayan glaciers; it turns out they are not melting either. The data used by the IPCC to scare us came from an unreliable source and was eventually dropped from the report, yet Syed Hasnain managed to get a nice little grant to continue the lie.

  Do you notice a pattern here? I do and I suppose this explains why the recent United Nations climate report’s summary was changed, for political reasons, to make the situation seem more dire than it really is.
