Antarctic Ice

[chuckChuck]

Since you are putting words in my mouth, where did I say climate change isn't happening in western Canada? When did I say it was cooling?

I am currently a net beneficiary of the warming trend we have been in for this cycle.

Based on historical records we are now almost back to being as warm as it was during the 30's in my area.

I am now almost back to growing the types of longer season crops the old timers were growing back then, before decades of cooling made even barley and oats a questionable proposition by the late 70's.

That doesn't change the cyclical nature of climate.

I will be immensly pleased if the cycles don't repeat and we haven't already entered the next multi decade cooling phase. But I'm not holding my breathe, my business and profitability depend on getting this right.

I thought you said let the climate scientists do their work? Which climate scientists and their organizations are saying that there is a cooling trend coming?

So your specific benefits of a warming climate are more important than all the harm that will occur to the majority others on a global scale? So that's why you think warming is fine? That explains alot.

Did you read the thread title?
Do you now think that Greenland is in Antarctica?
Even in the same hemisphere?
Does this information somehow prove that NASA is wrong, and Antarctica isn't GAINING ice mass?

Leave the ice mass calculations to NASA and the geo scientists. You don't trusts scientist anyway. It's a commie conspiracy!

So now it's not allowed to discuss ice sheet losses in other parts of the world besides the antarctic? LOL

We have been through this before, please find specific current examples of net detrimental effects from warming.

I did, I left the calculations up to NASA, and they confirmed that Antarctica is gaining ice mass, completely contradicting your propaganda.
So who has the commie conspiracy?

Don't run and hide A5. Which climate scientists and their organizations are saying that there is a cooling trend coming? C'mon their A5 you brought it up!

The NASA link covers a lot of the negative impacts of climate change.

"Research based on observations from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites (2002-2017) and GRACE Follow-On (since 2018 - ) indicates that between 2002 and 2020, Antarctica shed approximately 150 gigatons of ice per year,"

This from March, 2021. Read it again bud!

So now you are saying that the climate scientists at NASA are wrong?

I thought you said the science is settled?

Are you sure you are helping your cause by contradicting yourself and the actual scientists at every step?

"Antarctica shed approximately 150 gigatons of ice per year,"

A5 What part of this phrase don't you understand?

What part of the science is not ( is never) settled did ou not understand?
Did you read the very public debate within NASA regarding Antarctic ice gain/loss?

You uninformed alarmists, the media, and the bureaucrats all present a certainty that the actual climate scientists do not share.
It is not helping their credibility. Their jobs much more difficult.

NASA says the antarctic is losing ice mass.

The original post by Jazz covers sea ice area expansion. It says nothing about mass measurements or land mass ice. So the area of sea ice can be expanding, but mass can still be declining.

In any case, it is well known that the antarctic is less affected by warming for a variety of reasons. But it doesn't change the fact of accelerating ice loss in Greenland or in mountain glaciers which are more dramatic indications of a warming climate.

But which climate scientists and their organizations are saying that there is a cooling trend coming? You still have not answered this question.
