Which Ice Cap Is Melting The Fastest ?

As we approach the NH summer solstice, I am trying to determine which ice cap is contributing the most to sea level rise. Is it the one at -97F or the one at -7F?

    With Global Warming involved the colder it is the faster it melts so I would have to pick Antarctica.

    you forgot my ice cube tray…

    It is clearly the Antarctic, where the atmosphere is much drier, driving sublimation rates way up. Because of the record-setting tornadic activity in the US, strong winds in the Antarctic are predicted by my computer model, acting like a sort of counterbalance, you see. These predicted strong winds also increase sublimation rates in the Antarctic to levels equivalent to ambient temperatures of +20 C.

    Hopefully, once a sufficiently large number of wind farms are constructed, the mid-latitude winds and tornadoes will be reduced to a sufficient level that sublimation rates in the Antarctic will begin to be reduced.

    Wind energy- the sixteenth century technology that just keeps on giving…

      HAHAHA don’t say that, they will say the seas will rise 20 metres now! HAHAHAHAHA. But I was thinking the sublimation and winds down there would do the same too.

      I have a tree farm and raise trees. On a regular farm they raise crops. With their Wind Farms consisting of wind generators they will cause more tornadoes by making more and stronger winds. Are they raising Genetically Modified Wind?

        Or is it Organic Wind?

      • Russ says:

        HAHAHA, yeah, I hear ya, seams to be the way now days with organic products, organic bananas anyone, as opposed to inorganic ones. I seen bottled water advertised as low cal water as opposed to what? Diet Water Now! HAHAHAHA
        But seriously, last winter, I only use organic salt to thaw my driveway or is a parkway. HAHA.

    Antarctic sea ice is putting on a really strong burst at the moment

    Someone should tell Ice Cap melting nuts that ice melts at 32deg F and the adiabatic lapse rate is 3deg/1000ft. Vostok at this time of year is in darkness 24/7 and at 11,250ft is 34deg F colder than the SL temp (about -63F). At Vostok it never gets to a balmy 32deg F.

    AGW Warmist: OH MY GOD, THEY WENT INTO NEGATIVE TEMPERATURES, THAT MEANS THEY ARE HOTTER THAN EVER! I GOTTA CALL AL!

    Ugh, over here we have this weather station that claimed a good six degrees warmer than it really was according to all the others. I’m not so sure those places aren’t even cooler than they claim to be with all the bias and junk science floating around.
