I'd say these people are getting desparate now. If not that, then they've gone insane. 😀Melt may explain Antarctica's sea ice expansion
"Sea ice around Antarctica is increasing despite the warming global climate," said the study's lead author Richard Bintanja, from the KNMI."This is caused by melting of the ice sheets from below," he told the Reuters news agency.
Melting is now the new increasing.And if it's not that, it's this more laughable theory (of course, still being blamed on climate change):
Paul Holland of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) stuck to his findings last year that a shift in winds linked to climate change was blowing ice away from the coast, allowing exposed water in some areas to freeze and make yet more ice
Grasping at straws much?
That is the problem when quasi-religious beliefs are based on ill-understood data. They climate changers will not go to any lengths to keep their ridiculous theory afloat.
My problem with the global warming crowd are not so much the issue of whether the planet is warming or not, but a) whether man is responsible for it and b) whether anything can actually be done to stop it. I suppose I can add to this a sub-issue c) whether we should want to stop it. It just seems to me that this is far-too convenient of an issue for us to take the word of left-leaning politicians. Think of it - threats of a cataclysmic future, putting blame on capitalism, attempts to regulate the masses and grow government, threats of taxes on richer nations to benefit poorer nations, the consolidation of global power for those who use these taxes...does this not scream out communist plot to anyone else, at least on some level? Not that communists necessarily came up with the idea, but that the whole issue is a vehicle for achieving a number of communist/Marxist goals.
