NASA now says that Antarctica is gaining ice.
NASA Study: Mass Gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet Greater than Losses | NASA
I have been pointing out for years that the academic interpretations of ice loss via GRACE gravity data, are complete garbage.
GRACE – Clueless AGW Science | Real Science
Another Nail In The Mindless GRACE Interpretation Coffin | Real Science
The implications of this study devastate climate alarmism:
- Antarctica is not contributing to sea level rise
- The Greenland ice loss interpretations almost certainly are wrong too
- Forecasts of rapid sea level rise are untenable
The climate scam is dead scientifically. There is nothing left but fraud, lies, corruption, censorship and extortion.
But, but, butt Obama says it ain’t snowing no mo’. So how could that be?
It’s been a few months since Spring. We should get a touch of snow Nov-Jan for unrelated reasons.
Certainly one of the most ignorant, anti-science and racist comments I have seen here.
Hello? Moderators please kick out the racist troll? Aren’t we debating science here, not putting down people for their race?
Shut up, idiot.
As far as I am aware – now that NOAAgate & your own NASAgate proves surface fabrications to be totally incredible, the Climate Extremists now have nothing to support their garbage religion.
The Scam is no longer supported by any hard evidence whatsoever. It is a cliff, which has now been totally undermined to such an extent there is a gap between the base and ALL rock that used to support it.
This is obviously physically impossible. So my conclusions are:
1. There’s no scientific basis whatsoever for this scam and it only exists because of some “magic” (aka political will)
2. That somehow – it is already falling – it’s just that its happening so slowly that we cannot (yet) see it falling – but presumably as it accelerates we will see it collapsing faster and faster.
But aren’t the two connected? Because as soon as people believe its falling, the “magic” holding it up will disappear and it will fall because people believe it is falling.
The statements posted here appear to be a psychological projection of the religious global warming denialist movement. Projection happens when one accuses ones opponents of doing the very things that one is doing. That is, being a religion, being unreal, drinking “Koolaid” etc…
The problem: NONE of your “evidence” contradicts AGW. If there is any, and it has been peer reviewed, it is so miniscule but it does not contradict the overwhelming pile of growing evidence that humans are mostly responsible for global warming.
The religion is that of the deniers who refuse, incredulously, to accept scientific reality and fear the worst,… Believing in debunked and recycled myths over established science.
It’s astonishing to me that people still believe there some sort of climate gate scandal which has been disproved in four or five government investigations! That tells me right there that denial of AGW Is a religion.
Bet some of you believe in BenghaziGate too, the fake investigation which is actually a witch hunt by the RNC against Hillary to drive her poll numbers down.

An F-15C Eagle from the 144th Fighter Wing flies above the High Arctic Oct. 22, 2015. From Oct. 15-26, 2015, approximately 700 members from the Canadian Armed Forces and the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Air National Guard deployed to Iqaluit, Nunavut, and 5 Wing Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, for Exercise Vigilant Shield 16. (U.S. Air National Guard photo/Master Sgt. David J. Loeffler)
Stopped over at Goose Bay while in transit several times. Interesting place. Don’t know how it is now but back then Field Ops was entered through corrugated galvanized steel arches which take you down to the facility which was more or less underground. Outside in the parking lot there were telephone poles strung with the wires and plugs for engine block heaters hanging down at each parking spot. The whole place had an ambiance of isolation in a wilderness with nothing but trees and mountains to be seen far as the I could see. Real Indian country it seemed. A squadron of Luftwaffe F4s was there sometimes. Asked one of their pilots why they were there and he explained that it was the best place for training for operations over the Russian steppes.
told you so
we are cooling from the top latitudes downward….
? A natural consequence of global cooling is a small (?) shift of cloud formation and precipitation, more towards the equator, on average. Whilst maximum temperatures will still be dropping, average temperature around the equator remains more or less unchanged, largely due to more condensation energy coming free.
? At the higher latitudes >[40] it will become progressively drier, from now onward, ultimately culminating in a big drought period similar to the dust bowl drought 1932-1939. My various calculations all bring me to believe that this main drought period on the Great Plains will be from 2021-2028. It looks like we have only 5 “fat” years left…..
Umm….global “cooling” is an outrageous, debunked myth.
What’s your cherrypicked evidence source? Ted “evangelism is great, science not so much ” Cruz??
Doesn’t matter. It’s not real.

Hudson Bay was the growth center for the main ice sheet that covered northern North America during the last Ice Age. (WIKI)
August 13, 2015: 2nd highest ice coverage for Hudson Bay since 1971 at mid-August – only 1992 higher
Directly south of Hudson Bay are the Great Lakes which have had record ice the last two years.

The Northern Hemisphere Snow cover has also been at record levels.

In Febuary 2010 there was snow in all fifty states and on Nov 18, 2014 all fifty states had freezing temperatures. In 2013 Northern Hemisphere Snow Extent Was Greatest On Record In December with snow all the way down into Mexico.

On the other side of the Atlantic Scotland was also under ice.
Almost 300 “snow patches” remained in the Highland mountains in 2014 — (wwwDOT)bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-33581400
2015 was even worse.

Finally, the Arctic. Even NASA admits the loss of sea ice was due to storms driving ice out Fram Strait and into the North Atlantic where it melts quickly. A warm North Atlantic also makes ice melt from below in the Arctic basin. Now that warm North Atlantic is turning cold as Solar Cycle 24 winds down. So don’t expect the Arctic to continue ‘a melting trend’.

Warmist never realize it is MERIDIONAL JETS that are the hallmark of colder weather and glaciation. A ‘global temperature’ means diddlesquat since it is the mix of warm moist air and arctic air that builds ice sheets.

Cherry picking the overall, preponderance of global warming data does not make a trend.
Everything you mentioned are tiny spots out of the entire world. Also under global warming more snow and ice coverage is predicted because warmth drives moisture into the atmosphere. That means there is more rain and precipitation.
Check out that before you believe in debunked, disproved theories. Why don’t you look up the word cherry picking and find out what you are doing wrong in your thinking?
Also look up skepticalscience.com because they have debunked every recycled myth–including “global cooling.”
Virtually every year in the last 18 has been warmer than the 50 or 100 years before it. We’re not talking only surface temperatures, it’s water temperature and everything else. The big picture is the important thing. Not just one region, one country or just the oceans or just the atmosphere or just one polar ice cap.
You can’t pick out one region of the country and because it is colder say global cooling is happening. hat’s dumb, easily disproved cherry picking.
Its like if there is a famine because of crop failure and you point to three trees (out of 1000s everywhere) in your backyard and a friend’s backyard that is filled with cherries … You believe there is no famine and no crop failure.
That is exactly what you have done with those examples.
As noted at
https://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2015/10/31/noaa-data-debunks-noaa-lies
Why leave out the fine print and contradicting details??
You cherrypicked what YOU’D LIKE reality to be. There is still a net increase in the ocean sea level rise of .27 inches, AS NOTED in the article. It’s not coming from Greenland like they thought it was. It is UNSCIENTIFIC to leave that out.
The same NOAA trends reveal that in a few decades, compared to accumulation of 10,000 years, the net losses will be greater than the net gains. In only 20~30 YEARS! Vs. 10,000 YEARS of accumulation:
“But it might only take a few decades for Antarctica’s growth to reverse, according to Zwally. “If the losses of the Antarctic Peninsula and parts of West Antarctica continue to increase at the same rate they’ve been increasing for the last two decades, the losses will catch up with the long-term gain in East Antarctica in 20 or 30 years — I don’t think there will be enough snowfall increase to offset these losses.”
OVERALL picture is BAD:
”The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,” Zwally said. “But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for.”
This demonstrates is that there IS a sea level rise rise, but NOAA mistakenly attributed it to Antarctica. It’s possible for scientists to err. This article proves how science is self-correcting: the theory that best fits REALITY wins, not the anti-scientific pronouncements of Pharisees or political leaders.
How was it possible for the author to ignore the contradicting evidence to his narrative?
Picking out ONLY the evidence that proves your point, but ignoring the overall REALITY that contradicts your wishes and hopes is religious in nature, not scientific.
In a religion one may believe in something that science contradicts. Sky fairies, Santa, Jesus or the flying Spaghetti Monster. But ignoring pertinent facts is climate change denialism–because the science of climate change reflects reality, not wishes or myths.
I’ve got a feeling you won’t post this, because it runs counter to your dogma. Your loss.
A moron who spams
Re: NASA finally reporting about Antarctic mass gain: There actually is mention that sea level is affected negatively. With respect to the actual Sea-Level disconnect with Topex/Poseidon/Jason, most scientists worthy of that nomenclature, have known for quite some time that the U. of Colorado’s “adjustments” merely serve to double the actual sea level rise reported by Tide Gauges placed in tectonically inert locations (regions of the world that are neither uplifting nor subsiding). Its been 22 years of T/P/J reporting by the U. of C, and they must realize that the world knows the difference between 30mm and 70mm, and perhaps the mainstream media can figure it out too, but do NOT count on this happening before the Paris Xmas shopping spree.
With a 38% CO2 rise since 1880 and NO equivalent acceleration of sea-level rise during the same period, you have to be mathematically inept not to see the disconnect. For more, see:
NASA agrees,
“We’re essentially in agreement with other studies that show an increase in ice discharge in the Antarctic Peninsula and the Thwaites and Pine Island region of West Antarctica,” said Jay Zwally, a glaciologist with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and lead author of the study, which was published on Oct. 30 in the Journal of Glaciology.
but not with all the measurements. Except where is isn’t.
From 2004 Climate Variability in West Antarctica Derived from Annual Accumulation-Rate Records from ITASE Firn/Ice Cores
The ice cores from this study were analyzed to look for recent changes in accumulation rates. The period 1970–present was chosen due to numerous previous studies reporting changes in accumulation during this same time period. Mean accumulation since 1970 for each site was compared to the long-term mean and, due to the different time period covered by each record, the mean from 1922 to 1991 (the period of overlap between records) (Table 2). Results for cores 01-5 and 99-1 are disregarded because of the possible need for topographic corrections (see previous section). The results indicate a slight decrease (1–4%) in accumulation at sites 00-4, RIDS C and Siple Dome, and a larger decrease (9%) at site 00-5. Accumulation increased (5–10%) at sites 01-3, 01-2 and 00-1. The geographical clustering of these sites suggests that there has been an increase in accumulation since 1970 in the western sector of the Pine Island–Thwaites drainage system (00-1, 01-2, 01-3) (Fig. 2; Table 2).
http://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1127&context=ers_facpub
So they compare average accumulation 1922 to 1991 against accumulation 1970 to present. Since there was growth 1922 to 1991, it would take a 100% decrease between the two before any ‘Alarming loss’ is seen. So far only one core is 9% less than average and the whole group shows growth not melting.
Given that the Pine Island–Thwaites area is geothermialy active, I would be surprised if there wasn’t an increase in ice discharge.

CO2 is linked to sea temperature. Not surprising since cold water absorbs Co2 and hot water out gases CO2.
@tomwys
interesting approach
myself, I discovered the Gleissberg cycle
[in addition to the Schwabe and Hale Nicholson cycle]
and then I had to consider that there must be even longer term cycles than the Gleissberg cycle
You left out stupidity. Self-righteous, smug and vindictive leftist stupidity that makes people do vile things. That is the fertile soil out of which this scam grows. Without the backing of large parts of the electorate this thing would have been buried long ago. Never mind that the fraud is hurting the very people supporting it.
But you were also right to leave it out because this stupidity is alive and well. It will survive the global warming swindle and stay with us till the end of times.

Who the heck do you think CONTROLS THE MSM? Santa Claus?
READ the peer-reviewed paper The Network of Global Corporate Control
This lists the top fifty controllers: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21228354.500-revealed–the-capitalist-network-that-runs-the-world/
Now do something smart, look at WHO the directors are of the MSM you read. He who controls the press controls the content. This is a quicky for Huff & Puff
Huffington Post is owned by AOL-Time Warner
Here are a few of the Directors:
Thomas H. Castro is President & Chief Executive Officer of El Dorado Capital, LLC. a private equity investment firm, since December 2008. He is also the founder of IMB Development Corporation, a private equity investment firm, and has served as its Managing Director since January 2012. Prior to that, Mr. Castro, an entrepreneur, owned and operated other radio stations and founded a company that exported oil field equipment to Mexico. Mr. Castro has served as a Director since July 31, 2006.
James E. Copeland, Jr. , Former Chief Executive Officer Deloitte & Touche USA. Mr. Copeland has served as a director since July 31, 2006 and is also a director of ConocoPhillips and Equifax, Inc.

Ms. James has also served as chair of the National Women’s Business Council since her appointment by President Obama in October 2010. Ms. James has served as a director since March 2009 and is also a director of L Brands, Inc. (formerly known as Limited Brands, Inc.) and Marathon Petroleum Corporation.
Here is an older longer look LINK
J.P. Morgan has controlled the MSM in the USA since 1915 and still does.
I will look up the information you posted. By and large, the mainstream media is owned by conservatives. If your Theory is correct, all mainstream media would be posting conservative memes without regard to truth or evidence like Fox News does regularly.
. You have posted information without saying what your thesis or assumptions are. Since you use the term MSM, I must assume that you are generally conservative in your opinions and views. That term is mostly only used by conservatives.
Generally tend to trust facts because they are smart enough to look them up and verify them. Conservatives usually don’t verify factual information on news sites or television. That’s the reason Fox News is so popular. People don’t check and Fox News simply regurgitates what they want to hear, not what is real.
May I read between the lines and conclude that your thesis is that the MSM based on your evidence, is liberal inherently?
If the MSM is Liberal in nature why are the owners almost universally conservative??
Also, facts have no bias.
When verifiable facts appear mostly on mainstream media yet are contradicted by Fox News, that tells you something about the ownership and their influence. Rupert Murdoch appears to have much more influence over his media then the Conservatives who own NBC, CBS, ABC.
Why don’t you clarify what your point is and then I will respond further. Until then, your information is meaningless without context.
You are looking at it sideways.
There IS no ‘Conservative vs Liberal’ that is just a dog and pony show to confuse the masses. Fox News is nothing more than the Controlled Opposition. It is there to keep up the illusion and nothing more.
From 1913 on there has been consolidation of power in the federal government and a transfer of wealth from the ‘unfavored’ (middle class upstarts) to the favored (Old World Moneyed elite). That consolidation of power and wealth into the hands of a small unelected group has been accelerating in the last three to four decades.
From the New York Times:
From the IMF (Yeah, THEM) three decades later:
Thanks to the MSM, the word Capitalist is now applied to those thieves that stole our wealth to enrich themselves instead of the hard worker who invested his money resources and labor into making salable goods. Ever loan from a bank to a corporation SHOULD be accompanied by stock certificates given to every single American they stole that wealth from via inflation/wage devaluation.
Think how wealthy we would all be if we, instead of the thieves, actually got the benefit from the investment of our wealth.
So WHO got the wealth that was vacuumed up by the leveraged buyouts and how did they accomplish it?
Here is the WHO:
The Network of Global Corporate Control
The method is via mutual funds or the like where YOUR money is invested but THEY vote the stock. So even if the people whose money was invested in the target corporation did not want a hostile takeover they had no say.
I get into a longer explanation starting HERE, with a bit of a fight with Gator to liven things up.
Reblogged this on Climate Collections.
The study isn’t devastating, Steven. It is good news. It means we have more time to complete the conversion from fossil fuels to renewables. What I’m not clear on is where the new ice is coming from. The press release implies it is not from increasing snowfall.
How dumb are you? It is explained in the first sentence of the press release…
A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.
You are hopeless.
