Quote:Important role for ocean warming and increased ice-shelf melt in Antarctic sea-ice expansion

 

Its a computer simulation that models real world conditions. 1
 Try again. Conservatives often try to use NASA reports on increased sea ice formation in the Antarctic region as proof that climate change is a hoax, which is flat out wrong. 2
Read the authors findings again: "Here we show that accelerated basal melting of Antarctic ice shelves is likely to have contributed significantly to sea-ice expansion. Specifically, we present observations indicating that melt water from Antarctica’s ice shelves accumulates in a cool and fresh surface layer that shields the surface ocean from the warmer deeper waters that are melting the ice shelves." 

 
 

The model assumes an accelerated basal melting. If the simulation code was even written correctly, at best it says that the expanded Antarctic sea ice is consistent with melting ice shelves.


Computer games are fun, especially when they result in taxpayer-funded grants that allow one to keep the cushy job. Maybe you should cite some actual measurements, like I did. Oh, I know, Climastrologers try to avoid measurements whenever possible, and never include error bounds when they do. Please humor me and find a graph of one (just one) set of measurements (undoctored measurements) with appropriate error bounds included.


 

And alarmists use reports on decreased sea ice in the Arctic. Decreased from when? From the 1970s when Arctic sea ice was at a high point and scientists were arguing whether or not the exceptional cold decade was a harbinger of the next glaciation? The Northwest passage was navigated in the 19th century, with wooden ships, and no satellite images or GPS to guide the way.
