It might be worth the denialist crowd taking a look at this - at it
will be worth reading for the more sensible contributors to this newsgroup. As you read it, not the numbers of scientists involved and the explanations of why Antarctica has actually cooled. It's a big report and may take a while to download, but it is worth the read: http://www.scar.org/publications/occ...5_Nov_2009.pdf Here's a BBC summary: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8387137.stm Then deny it, as you will; science will not convince you, I know that - but if you do, make sure you include some science in your reply. |

That's why the Antarctic sea Ice extent is the third highest since satellite record began, Am I missing something here? |

The reason is that you haven't followed the links. When you do, you'll see your answer to the question I've asked you 34 times for (IIRC). "Why do you think variations in Antarctic sea ice is somehow relevant, Lawrence" (35). Even after all this time and the whole of the Internet to search for the answer (and it is easy, a child of 8 could easily find it) you haven't bothered, so you still believe what you did a year ago. |

That's why the Antarctic sea Ice extent is the third highest since satellite record began, Am I missing something here? Have you read the BBC summary, to which Dawlish provided the link? It explains this apparent anomaly. The cooling of much of Antarctica is attributed in the report to the hole in the ozone layer causing a local reduction in the greenhouse effect. Now that the chemicals that caused the hole have been phased out in aerosols, the ozone layer is forecast to be completely repaired within the next fifty years. Even before that, though the East Antarctic ice sheet has been expanding, the West Antarctic ice sheet is starting to be eroded by the warming of the surrounding ocean. (Importantly, I believe that the actual land surface of West Antarctica, beneath the ice sheet, is actually below sea-level, making the ice sheet very vulnerable to incursion by ocean water beneath its surface.) -- John Hall "I don't even butter my bread; I consider that cooking."

Goodness knows why they make that connection; it's just a way of trying to tar the namer as no- one who calls someone a denier (for the very good reason that they deny what is highly likely to happen) ever means any such connotation, but to be sympathetic to you and other such people's feelings, I use the word denialist. I hope you appreciate the difference and the fact that I do that. If you don't; you know what you can do. Believe what you wish about natural cycles; then try to find a body of scientists (Jenkins doesn't count, surprisingly) that agree with you. Good luck trying. I can assure you that if there's a god on my side, I ain't on hers, but if she appears, I might change my mind. Other people can make their minds up about you and have. |

Its all rather ood though wasn't there an IPCC report a couple of years saying hat the antarctic was warming but now we get almost record sea ice because its cooling. Talk about having your Kyak and Heating it!! Yes I know they're found in the Arctic. However it would seem that no matters what's actually observed its all grist to the mill for rge AGW theory, It wasn;t long ago after sever May flooding in the UK that some over paid brown nose at UKMO blamed it on AGW as the atmosphere held more moisture and now such a dry spell will be down to ....let me guess..........oh yes AGW. What mugs we are. |
