   Under the new metrics set up by Diana Moon Glampers, the Handicapper General, “ice free” now encompasses all areal ice found near, or drifting near either the north or south pole. It is important to be fair and treat all ice the same. If you do see ice, look the other way.

     “Diana Moon Glampers”

     I think that Diana Moon Glampers may have been one of the chief authors of the Common Core Program — but hey, everyone will get a trophy just for showing up!

   Arctic minimum is happening, as Antarctic moves to new record:

     HMMMmmm

     Looks like RACookPE1978’s tongue in cheek forecast continues to be true.

     …For the past two years, Antarctic sea ice has been consistently two std deviations ABOVE normal levels…

     How much larger can Antarctic sea ice get? There is no limit. At today’s rate of Antarctic sea ice increase, Cape Horn itself could be closed to ship traffic due to sea ice within 8-10 years for months at a time every September and October….

     To the specific point of open Arctic waters being a heat loss area from the earth. Notice that we are assuming far-north openings here….

     At that latitude, in mid and late September when arctic sea ice is at its minimum extents, there is MORE heat lost from open waters due to more evaporation losses, more conduction losses, more convective losses, and more radiation losses from open sea water than can be gained from that exposed water getting heated by the ever-lower sun angles!…

     The more the Arctic sea ice melts from today’s minimum extents in August and September, the more the planet loses heat energy to space and cools down ever more. Your CAGW’s religiously amplified but majestically feared “arctic amplification” due to sea ice meltdown is totally, completely backwards.

     But it is worse than you think!

     At today’s levels of BOTH minimum AND maximum extent in the Antarctic seas, today’s (and last year’s!) record breaking sea ice extents DO reflect much more solar energy than the exposed waters! At the edge of the Antarctic sea ice at 60 – 70 south latitude, ALL YEAR, every day, the record-breaking Antarctic sea ice extents IS reflecting MORE solar energy and IS cooling the planet down even more.

     And thus we slide quickly into the next major ice age.

     (The actual physics is correct.)

     I friend of mine is trying to argue that the record amount of sea ice gained in Antarctica is still actually caused by global warming. He references this article http://theconversation.com/new-antarctic-sea-ice-record-but-scientists-arent-confounded-31676

     I think its BS, what should i tell him?

       Tell him you are correct, he is full of BS (Bad Science).

         Simple formula: FOLLOW THE MONEY!
         Governments want a new tax revenue stream.
         Financial traders and bankers want a new money making scheme.
         The UN wants more power and $$$ (they hope to be cut in on the deal) link
         Any scientist who doesn’t go along with those holding the grant funding loses his job.
         ……

         World Bank Carbon Finance Report for 2007
         The carbon economy is the fastest growing industry globally with US$84 billion of carbon trading conducted in 2007, doubling to $116 billion in 2008, and expected to reach over $200 billion by 2012 and over $2,000 billion by 2020.

         The World Bank
         The World Bank’s Robert Watson was head of the IPCC. The Copenhagen talks broke down thanks to the Danish text leak: a secret draft agreement .. hands effective control of climate change finance to the World Bank

         The World Bank released a very inflammatory document: The World Bank 4 degree report in full here and summary for policymakers here.

         All the while the World Bank is lecturing the West on the evils of CO2 it has MASSIVELY increased its lending for Coal Plants! GRAPH of World Bank spending on coal fired plants in the third world.

         World Bank: Record sums were invested last year in coal power.. (Much of this is money from the USA tax payer BTW)

         More than 1,000 New Coal Plants Planned Worldwide

         Coal’s not dying — it’s just getting shipped abroad

         The goal of Carbon Trading was to set up a worldwide trade in Carbon Credits (CCs), designed around a standard market mechanism, so that greenhouse gas producers could be penalised while greenhouse gas consumers could be rewarded. The easiest way to ‘consume’ CO2 is with trees so now The World Bank is deporting farmers form their farmland.

   Handicappers could make a fortune betting against all these hysterical Ice Free forecasts…

   The Doomsayers have been 100% wrong… 100% of the time for over 100 years…

   I tried posting a comment on here but it was not posted. What did i say that it did not meet moderator approval? I am a fan of this site and a fan of Steven due to the information presented against the global warming fraud. In my post i was looking for advice on what to tell a friend of mine who is arguing that the record amount of ice in Antarctica is still actually caused by global warming. He sited an article written by PhD and oceanographer. I wanted help in disproving him.
