Durr dey fund sum plains in dat dere ice
GASP, you've made the shocking discovery that Antarctica has a natural cycle where it packs on more ice via snowfall. Maybe you can understand the fact it is now losing more than it grows back. That's why I used the term "net loss" earlier.
MattressMan was spot on with his comment on the evolution of the denier's argument.
I love it when deniers just make things up.
Bonus irony for believing global warming is happening on Mars based on three years of data from a single region of the planet while ignoring decades of research and data going back six hundred-fifty thousand years on Earth.
Antarctica is showing a net loss of ice, but then again I shouldn't be expecting some who thinks it's just a giant icecube floating on the ocean to legitimate research.
One of worst dangers of global climate change is the potential to pernamently change the weather from it has been historically. Farmlands losing rainfall and experiencing more extreme temperatures, warm places becoming cold and vice versa. It doesn't take much imagination to see what this would do to the infastructure in place that depends on specific weather.
I'm loving that CEI (the Discovery Institute for global warming deniers) "C02 is life!" propaganda. Quote-mining and misrepresenting actual science to fit their agenda. Par for the course in any conservative anti-intellectual movement. Check some recent studies, increasing CO2 has diminishing returns for increasing plant growth. You can only get that benefit if you where you live still has the right climate to grow what you want, if you can grow anything at all.
