Antarctica: It’s Getting Hot at the Bottom of the Planet

By Bryan Walsh  Dec. 24, 2012

One of the big environmental stories of 2012 was the record melting of sea ice in the Arctic, which reached its smallest extent this summer since satellite data began being kept in the late 1970s. But it’s not the Arctic alone that’s reacting to manmade climate change by transforming into a large puddle. On the other end of the Earth, the continent of Antarctica contains enough ice to swamp just about every coastal city on the planet were it all to melt. The Arctic is transforming before our eyes, but it’s changes in Antarctica that could make Waterworld into a documentary.

Antarctica is not warming

Sea ice extent around Antarctica hit a record high this year, and has been above normal every day in 2012. Antarctica is not warming or melting, and only a spectacular lying scumbag would attempt to make the case that it was. The US press corpse is now worse than Soviet Pravda ever was. They never tell the truth about anything.

Murder rates in the US are rapidly declining.

Murder rates among white Americans are as low as anywhere in Europe.

The majority of murders are committed by blacks using illegal guns in states which voted heavily for Obama.

Lefties smear the black and white murder rates together. They smear the red state and blue state murder rates together. They smear the legal and illegal gun murder rates together.

Their goal is to use the extreme misbehavior of Obama’s constituency in Democratic states, as an excuse to take legal guns away from law abiding, peaceful US citizens in Republican states.

The last thing lefties would ever want to do is to insist that the black community stops killing each other.

Marking the first anniversary of the shooting deaths at Columbine High School, President Clinton announced $120 million in new federal grants Saturday to place more police officers in schools

Democrats thought this was a great idea. When the NRA proposed exactly the same thing, lefties went nuts with anger.

The New York Post and the New York Daily News tore into the National Rifle Association on Saturday for the gun lobby’s bizarre press conference held in response to the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre.

In a widely-panned public appearance, NRA leader Wayne LaPierre blamed gun violence on everything from video games to the media, and advocated placing an armed officer in every school in America.

Lefties also want to kill climate skeptics.

GW deniers would never admit their mistake and as a result they would be executed.

A volunteer who was shot during a wave of attacks on polio-vaccination teams has succumbed to his injuries in Pakistan.

That brings to nine the number of health workers killed since December 17.

Officials say the student volunteer died on December 20, a day after he was shot while helping distribute polio drops in the northwestern city of Peshawar.

Five of the nine health workers killed were women.

The bloodshed prompted United Nations agencies to suspend their campaign against polio in Pakistan after the attacks.

The Islamic terrorist group Jundullah claimed responsibility, telling RFE/RL’s Radio Mashaal that polio vaccination is forbidden in Islam.

Obama won less than 20% of US by area, so the press corps his Pravda corpse has been rapidly ramping up the lies about his mandate. This is needed to begin dismantling the US constitution and allow a few coastal cities to destroy the rest of America.

Jet-setting hypocrites like Al Gore, Prince Charles, Barack Obama, Michael Bloomberg, Thomas Friedman, James Cameron and Richard Branson tell children that they have no future because their parents are destroying the planet.

This teaches all schoolchildren to hate their families, their country, their culture, and everything good in the their lives. It promotes every imaginable form of anti-social behavior.

In completely unrelated news, last week a child murdered his mother and 26 people at an elementary school.

The world didn’t end — yet It may be more fun to consider Maya doomsday scenarios, but shouldn’t we be focused on fixing actual threats to Earth like climate change?

So much for another wacky end-of-the-world theory. The hypothesis that the world would be destroyed at the end of the 13th baktun cycle in the Maya calendar (which corresponds pretty closely with Dec. 21) was just plain wrong.

Nor, come to think of it, was the last much-publicized prophet of doom on target. That was Harold Camping, the Christian radio announcer who predicted that the rapture (and end of the world) would come on May 21, 2011. When that didn’t happen, he recalibrated the date as Oct. 21, 2011. He has since given up predicting disasters.

Humans have always been fascinated by the idea of the apocalypse. Sometimes we actually seem to believe in it

What’s odd is that despite our apparent obsession with global catastrophe, we’re surprisingly reluctant to confront the complications of actual, documented threats to our planet. Science and observation seem to indicate that real planetary crises will come more quietly and slowly but just as sadly — and perhaps more so because by that time we will have had years, if not decades, of legitimate warning. The effects of climate change may not be as dramatic as the reappearance of Satan on Earth, but they are a lot more imminent.

Doomsday isn’t what we should be worrying about – latimes.com

The LA Times has proven that they are stupider than Harold Camping, because they haven’t given up on predicting disasters. After all, the great prophet Hansen has told us that parts of Manhattan will be permanently submerged by 2008.

I am back from surveying the effects of global warming on Baja California. I left no stone unturned – having surveyed ocean warming by jet ski, coastal devastation by para-sail  and ice conditions in my margaritas. I also did an informal but detailed survey of how global warming is affecting bikinied bodies.

As I departed, it made me sad to think that man-made sea level rise was going to destroy the beaches of Cabo San Lucas. Based on University of Colorado satellite data, I have determined that Cabo will drown in only infinity years.

HARROLD, Texas (AP) – In this tiny Texas town, children and their parents don’t give much thought to safety at the community’s lone school – mostly because some of the teachers are carrying concealed weapons.

In remote Harrold, the nearest sheriff’s office is 30 minutes away, and people tend to know – and trust – one another. So the school board voted to let teachers bring guns to school.

“We don’t have money for a security guard, but this is a better solution,” Superintendent David Thweatt said. “A shooter could take out a guard or officer with a visible, holstered weapon, but our teachers have master’s degrees, are older and have had extensive training. And their guns are hidden. We can protect our children.”

While the morons in the press attack the NRA for their common sense proposal, at least one community is using their brain and taking the NRA’s advice.

Don’t mess with Marlboro Township.

The leafy, well-heeled New Jersey suburb will station a permanent armed cop in each of its nine schools starting Jan. 2.

It’s apparently the first district nationwide bent on packing heat in every schoolhouse since madman Adam Lanza gunned down 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., on Dec. 14.

“We’ve made a collective decision as a town that we need armed security in each of our schools,” Mayor Jonathan Hornik told The Post.

“With this new evil, you can’t just sit there and hope that it doesn’t happen in your town. We must protect our kids.”
