An efficient way to form lots of Antarctic sea ice during the autumn growth season is to have strong winds that push the ice away from the coastline. Pushing sea ice away leaves open water that can lose heat to the atmosphere, creating more sea ice.

RealClimate: Clarity on Antarctic sea ice.

Steig is blaming the record Antarctic sea ice on global warming, and then describing it is a negative feedback which is somehow consistent with climate models. That directly contradicts the foundations of Hansen’s feedback theories. Hansen predicted peak global warming of 8°C – right where the peak sea ice gain has occurred in the Weddell Sea.

Hansen also predicted peak sea ice loss in the Weddell Sea, right where the peak sea ice gain has occurred.

No, they didn’t predict it all along, and a negative feedback is a direct contradiction of a fundamental tenet of global warming theory.

But it is worse than it seems. Not only is Antarctic sea ice at record levels in winter, but it is also at record levels in summer, when the sun is highest in the sky. Thus more sunlight is getting reflected back into space, which further cools the Earth. Another negative feedback, undermining global warming theory.

Ten years ago, Gavin reported that temperatures decreased significantly over most of Antarctica.

But it is even worse than it seems. Experts like Walt Meier used to claim that the Antarctic sea ice anomalies occurred only in winter, when it didn’t affect albedo. Obviously that isn’t correct.

But it is even “worser” than that seems. Gavin claims this is the hottest year ever, with record Antarctic sea ice and near record winter and autumn northern hemisphere snow extent.

The team also cleverly ignores the fact that satellite data shows the troposphere is nowhere near the warmest on record.

This entire global warming farce is in complete collapse, and they are in full on propaganda mode now. All they have left is fabricating data and making up fake ad hoc excuses.

The ice-free Arctic is now bringing heavy snow to the tropics.

“You don’t like a particular policy or a particular president? Then argue for your position. Go out there and win an election. Push to change it. But don’t break it. Don’t break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building. That’s not being faithful to what this country’s about.”

-Barack Obama 2013

So the Republicans win the election, and Obama simply chooses to ignore it, His ongoing effort to break what our predecessors spent over two centuries building can’t be derailed by something so petty as an election.

The deep oceans are much colder than the atmosphere. Heat always flows from warmer objects to colder ones. The oceans can’t “belch heat into the atmosphere” If cold water from the deep oceans came to the surface, the atmosphere would cool  – like a La Nina event.

Being a progressive used to be known as “being insane.”

Experts pretend the world began in 1978, because if they include  earlier dates it wrecks their story

The text below is in the 1990 IPCC report, which shows 1978 was a peak, and earlier years were “significantly less”

But what about ice thickness? It is about the same now, as it was in 1940
