Scientists say that what was once covered in ice and snow is now land and water, which are darker and absorb more heat than the white ice. As a result, the amount of solar energy being reflected to the Earth’s upper atmosphere has decreased since the late 1970s.
Scientists add that other factors could be causing the decrease but that the decline is more than they had expected.
The study did not look at the Southern Hemisphere, where Antarctica has far more ice, is much colder and shows fewer signs of warming.
It is not hard to spot the dishonesty in a Steve Goddard post — he copies almost the entire article from another source but leaves out this bit: “Temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere have risen by about 0.75 degrees Celsius in the past three decades.”
Mentioning rising temperatures doesn’t really fit into your disinformation campaign — does it Stevey?
OMG You are right. Hansen said 2010 is 0.01 degrees warmer than 2005. At that rate, it will warm almost 0.2 degrees by the year 2100. We are all going to fry!
Hey Drewski !! always with the negative waves …..
can you define the ABOUT part of “about 0.75 degrees” for me, please ?
BTW, I have volunteered to follow you around and clean up your little poops just like I do with my little dog…. would you prefer paper or plastic ?
Um Drewski – he does not have to REPEAT the entire article to use a pull quote and discuss it. Your failure to understand that simple principal indicates either an indoctrination that is not conducive to thinking – or that you are a moron.
