Say what, you ask? That seems to be the case in this world of somebody lying and the other swearing to it. You know we are getting to the point where it has come to not wishing to believe anyone anymore. Lying and cheating are an accepted practice these days and with each passing generation I guess we can expect it to only worsen.
Recently on the news we saw amazing photographs and video of an enormous chunk of Antarctic Sea ice breaking off from the large mass covering the continent. Reports were this massive “break off” was 160 square miles in size. Surely nothing to sneeze at but only amounts to 0.01% of the total ice mass of the Antarctic.
According to the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works blog, while this tiny section has broken off, the remainder of the Antarctic ice has grown to record proportions.
The media is once again hyping an allegedly dire consequence of man-made global warming. This time the media is promoting the ice loss of one tiny fraction of the giant ice-covered continent and completely ignoring the current record ice growth on Antarctica. Contrary to media hype, the vast majority of Antarctica has cooled over the past 50 years and ice coverage has grown to record levels since satellite monitoring began in the 1979, according to peer-reviewed studies and scientists who study the area.
It also seems that those promoting the man-made global warming scam only focus on this very small area of the Antarctic to promote their agenda.
Climate scientist Dr. Ben Herman, past director of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics and former Head of the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Arizona, stated, “It is interesting that all of the AGW (anthropogenic global warming) stories concerning Antarctica are always about what’s happening around the [western] peninsula, which seems to be the only place on Antarctica that has shown warming. How about the net ‘no change’ or ‘cooling’ over the rest of the continent, which is probably about 95% of the land mass, not to mention the record sea ice coverage recently.â€
For those wishing to further their knowledge of facts surrounding issues with the Antarctic and global warming, read this article that’s loaded with tons of information.
