Learning To Think Like A Climate Expert

Climate experts believe that huge amounts of ice are melting in Antarctica at -30C, and the melt water is flowing thousands of miles to the Philippines – where it pools up into a mound.

    Question: What year of the 21st century had the greatest annual average global sea ice area?

    Answer: 2013, which is the only year with a global average anomaly above the 1979-2008 average.

      Thanks. It’d be nice if we could have an extended version of this graph showing what happened in previous periods similar to present, like the 1930’s up to 1952, to better estimate the recovery of the Arctic ice.

    One would think that with all the fasting Yeb and his followers are doing that there would be less gravitation pull in the Philippines and therefore lower sea level.

    Climate experts believe that huge amounts of ice are melting in Antarctica at -30C….? No, but if you would like an explanation:
    PASADENA, Calif. – Ocean waters melting the undersides of Antarctic ice shelves are responsible for most of the continent’s ice shelf mass loss, a new study by NASA and university researchers has found.

  5. Environmental scientists have an average IQ of 87 so I don’t listen to them anymore
