Antarctic sea ice hits 35-year high

Antarctic sea ice hits 35-year high. It appears some of the scientists and warmers are also high.

Antarctic sea ice has grown to a record large extent for a second straight year, baffling scientists seeking to understand why this ice is expanding rather than shrinking in a warming world.

On Saturday, the ice extent reached 19.51 million square kilometers, according to data posted on the National Snow and Ice Data Center Web site. That number bested record high levels set earlier this month and in 2012 (of 19.48 million square kilometers). Records date back to October 1978.

  • The earth is warming. Ok, its happened before. They've found fossilized palm trees in Alaska. No, wait. The earth is COOLING, as evidenced by increasingly severe winter storms, increasing arctic ice. Ozone depletion is bad. It lets in too much radiation,and the opening is getting bigger by the moment. Ozone is poisonous, and causes respiratory problems, especially in the very young, the very old, and those with pulmonary dieases. Don't drive, mow your lawn, or fill up your car. Instead walk! Seems that would increase your exposure to see deadly ozone, butwhat do I know. Does anyone have a clue what is going on, really? Yeah, I didn't think so.

  • But, but, but didn't Presidunce Obummer show us just a couple of weeks ago how bad things in the Artic are? He showed us a melting glacier in the middle of August so he has to be right doesn't he? (snicker)

    Did y'all see the video of a salmon jizzing on the Obummers shoe? I almost spit beer on the monitor, it proved a fish is smarter than the average Democrat.

  • The climate warming/changing acolytes will claim that this ice isn't the good ice that is generated during global cooling.

  • The leaders of these people would be a lot more believable if they didn't stand to make a fortune off of their BS. The problem is, if they didn't make money off of it, they wouldn't talk about it. The rest are just more useful idiots.

  • Just wait, these "Scientists" will pivot to Global Cooling and warn that if we don't stop using fossil fuels and stop driving our SUV's the entire planet will turn in to the ice planet of Hoth and we will all die. and coastal cities will be overrun by ice and lakes will be frozen all year and we will all be forced to live in poo huts and eat tofu because it will be the only thing to stop the new ice age.

    Their narrative for global warming is dying as we speak, and they have to have a crisis (Alinsky) to prevent our doom......

    There was an article about a college professor (liberal asshole) who said that climate deniers should be treated like Hitler....These people are getting stupider by the moment. They are circling the drain and can't stand it.

    Well if the ice age comes, I say we burn climate scientists for warmth, given how many people make their living on this fake science, we should be able to stay quite warm.

    • Us older folks heard all the globull cooling bullshit in the 1960's. If we didn't quit polluting the air the earth was going to be an ice cube by the year 2000 which didn't happen, of course. Funny how the reasons for our problems then, cars, coal power, deforestation, all the reasons the eco-freaks give today for globull warming are exactly the same reasons given for the globull cooling problem we had 50 years ago.

  • "Scientists baffled'? Could it be that the people who are baffled by this data are not really scientists at all, merely shills for the 'Climate Change' racketeers? No, that couldn't possibly be, not when the the Smartest Man in the Room is pivoting(again) to make this his legacy to our descendants(if any).

  • Could it be *gasp* the world isn't actually warming, like, at all! Maybe these "scientists" are just a bunch of lying liars guilty of the same attitudes they complain "scientists" in the past have had to differing points of view. The continents used to be connected? CRAZY talk! Earth revolves around the Sun? BLASPHEMY! The Earth is ROUND? Stuuupid! The climate changes naturally and maybe humans have very little, if anything, to do with it? Science deniers!
