NASA Study: Mass Gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet Greater than Losses | NASA

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.

    I double-checked the date this time, so I know it's current. ;)

    But it's not the "right" kind of ice so it doesn't count. :|

    Is this the same NASA that's been putting out so much climate change bullshit that supported the warmers? Good to see them telling the truth for once.

    Not the wrong kind, but in the wrong place. Too bad it's the north pole that faces the sun.

    Ah, the man from the land of Prog, where some means all.

    Please tell me you're joking.

    Obama wasn't doing NASA's rep any favors cutting back on the space program and instructing the NASA boss that a part of his job as head of NASA under the new regime would be dialoguing with Muslims, stroking them for all the imaginary advancements they supposedly contributed to science. Not joking. He actually did that.

    Still that was just a section of NASA not all.

    There was another section giving NASA a bad rep even before Obama.

    The guys centered in the offices above Jerry Seinfeld's old hangout here:



    They're the climate model guys who manipulate land surface temps.

    Yeah, I enjoy that every time some guy who's just starting to discover the facts sends me there, but it has nothing to do with what I'm now going to laugh at you for, because apparently you were serious when you said:

    Too bad it's the north pole that faces the sun.


    Think of the phrase "spins on its axis". The earth does that. It also wobbles. The North pole will get more sun during its summer and the South Pole will get more sun during it's summer.

    But they both get sun. A nice day during the Antarctic summer might be 5 below, but the ice around Antarctica does have a melt season. It gets sun. The South Pole also gets sun.

    Here's a pic of the Amundsen-Scott research station at the geographic South pole.



    You'll notice it was taken in sunlight.

    In fact, regarding that station:

    Since the Amundsen–Scott Station is located at the South Pole, it is at the only place on the land surface of the Earth where the sun is continuously up for six months and then continuously down for six months.


    More pics and info below.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amundsen- ... .932003.29

    Now if you had said the earth tilts more towards the sun at the north pole on its axis you'd have a point. But it does not face the sun in a way that the South Pole can never get sunlight. Antarctic ice has a melt season. Originally AGW theory suggested more ice would melt at both poles. That did not happen in the South, so they just adjusted the hypothesis and claimed the models knew that all along. They didn't.

    Sounds like a conspiracy to me.

    OMG. :roll: And which direction does the axis point, relative to the sun? Which one of the two poles "faces" the sun more often. You've seen an image like this before, surely.



    Or maybe you'll see it next year when you get to grade 11 and have to take physical geography.

    I thought that's what I did say.
