Global Alarming flies south for Spring Break

(originally posted March 25, 2008)

All last year we heard about how global warming was melting Arctic ice at a record pace. Then in December it was noted that the Arctic ice mass was equal to it's post winter size and growing at a much faster pace than imagined.

Also in 2007 the Cult of Global Warming was telling us how the glaciers in Greenland were melting due to carbon dioxide emissions. You had to be a news junkie to learn that the large melt off, on Greenland's Northern Glacier was caused by thermal activity from below the Earth' mantle... air temperature had nothing to do with it.

These two stories, if they were covered at all by the MSM were found buried in the Science pages.

Now the Global Alarmists have turned their attention to the south, specifically Antarctica.
They claim that a giant section of the ice shelf is falling off the Antarctic land mass because of global warming. Since the MSM won't tell you I will... this is bullsh*t!

The piece is falling off, without a doubt, it is the reason why that is faulty. Unlike the Arctic ice mass, Antarctica is a continent with a land mass to support the ice. Ice bergs are always being calves from the Greenland, Arctic, Antarctic and other glaciers. Sometimes these are due to ice melting, others, like in the case of this Antarctic mass, are pushed off because the glacier is growing, not shrinking.

The Antarctic ice mass has been growing over the last few decades and as it grows it pushes outwards, this pushes the ice off the land mass and it continues to grow over the water, once a large section is being buoyed by the water instead of cradled by the earth it begins to fissure, crack and then ice bergs are calved... sometimes huge sections of ice the size of islands break off.

But this Antarctic mass, like the previous ones, are being cast off because the Antarctic glaciers are growing, not because they are shrinking.

The main stream media has bought so much into this global warming scheme that they will not stop at lying to keep the propaganda flowing to the people. They have already marginalized scientists who are skeptical of the scheme and who criticize the MSM for publishing such tainted stories that ignore science.
