Glaciers Cracking in the Presence of Carbon Dioxide

[Fred^4]

The well-documented presence of excessive levels of carbon dioxide
in our atmosphere is causing global temperatures to rise and glaciers
and ice caps to melt. New research has shown that carbon dioxide
molecules may be also having a more direct impact on the ice that
covers our planet.

And a million rightards scream "IT'S A CONSPIRACY! WAAAAAAHHHH!"

The poor thing has to imagine that he can avoid kill-filing that way
But I have to wonder who defined that carbon dioxide levels were "excessive
??

Oh and temperatures have been steadily rising since the last ice age , and
as a consequences ice has been melting and oceans have been rising

During the last ice age, half of North America was under a mile or more of
ice,
Do the idiot greens want to go back to that ?

Funny how shitting Christians can't address the issues, isn't it? Their
occult deluisions get kicked in the nuts by science again and all the
rightarded loons out there cry and shit their pants and flee. Special!

You are pathetic.

Experts: Global warming means more Antarctic ice
By SETH BORENSTEIN | Associated Press � Wed, Oct 10, 2012

WASHINGTON (AP) � The ice goes on seemingly forever in a white pancake-flat
landscape, stretching farther than ever before. And yet in this confounding
region of the world, that spreading ice may be a cockeyed signal of man-
made climate change, scientists say.

This is Antarctica, the polar opposite of the Arctic.

While the North Pole has been losing sea ice over the years, the water
nearest the South Pole has been gaining it. Antarctic sea ice hit a record
7.51 million square miles in September. That happened just days after
reports of the biggest loss of Arctic sea ice on record.

Climate change skeptics have seized on the Antarctic ice to argue that the
globe isn't warming and that scientists are ignoring the southern continent
because it's not convenient. But scientists say the skeptics are
misinterpreting what's happening and why.

Shifts in wind patterns and the giant ozone hole over the Antarctic this
time of year � both related to human activity � are probably behind the
increase in ice, experts say. This subtle growth in winter sea ice since
scientists began measuring it in 1979 was initially surprising, they say,
but makes sense the more it is studied.

"A warming world can have complex and sometimes surprising consequences,"
researcher Ted Maksym said this week from an Australian research vessel
surrounded by Antarctic sea ice. He is with the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution in Massachusetts.

Many experts agree. Ted Scambos of the National Snow and Ice Data Center in
Colorado adds: "It sounds counterintuitive, but the Antarctic is part of
the warming as well."

And on a third continent, David Vaughan of the British Antarctic Survey
says that yes, what's happening in Antarctica bears the fingerprints of
man-made climate change.

"Scientifically the change is nowhere near as substantial as what we see in
the Arctic," says NASA chief scientist Waleed Abdalati, an ice expert. "But
that doesn't mean we shouldn't be paying attention to it and shouldn't be
talking about it."

Sea ice is always melting near one pole while growing around the other. But
the overall trend year to year is dramatically less ice in the Arctic and
slightly more in the Antarctic.

It's most noticeable in September, when northern ice is at its lowest and
southern ice at its highest. For over 30 years, the Arctic in September has
been losing an average of 5.7 square miles of sea ice for every square mile
gained in Antarctica.

Loss of sea ice in the Arctic can affect people in the Northern Hemisphere,
causing such things as a higher risk of extreme weather in the U.S. through
changes to the jet stream, scientists say. Antarctica's weather
peculiarities, on the other hand, don't have much effect on civilization.

At well past midnight in Antarctica, where it's about 3 degrees, Maksym
describes in a rare ship-to-shore telephone call from the R.V. Aurora
Australis what this extra ice means in terms of climate change. And what
it's like to be out studying it for two months, with the nearest city 1,500
miles away.

"It's only you and the penguins," he says. "It's really a strikingly
beautiful and stark landscape. Sometimes it's even an eerie kind of
landscape."

While the Arctic is open ocean encircled by land, the Antarctic � about 1.5
times the size of the U.S. � is land circled by ocean, leaving more room
for sea ice to spread. That geography makes a dramatic difference in the
two polar climates.

The Arctic ice responds more directly to warmth. In the Antarctic, the main
driver is wind, Maksym and other scientists say. Changes in the strength
and motion of winds are now pushing the ice farther north, extending its
reach.

Those changes in wind are tied in a complicated way to climate change from
greenhouse gases, Maksym and Scambos say. Climate change has created
essentially a wall of wind that keeps cool weather bottled up in
Antarctica, NASA's Abdalati says.

And the wind works in combination with the ozone hole, the huge gap in
Earth's protective ozone layer that usually appears over the South Pole.
It's bigger than North America.

It's caused by man-made pollutants chlorine and bromine, which are
different from the fossil fuel emissions that cause global warming. The
hole makes Antarctica even cooler this time of year because the ozone layer
usually absorbs solar radiation, working like a blanket to keep the Earth
warm.

And that cooling effect makes the winds near the ground stronger and
steadier, pushing the ice outward, Scambos says.

University of Colorado researcher Katherine Leonard, who is on board the
ship with Maksym, says in an email that the Antarctic sea ice is also
getting snowier because climate change has allowed the air to carry more
moisture.

Winter sea ice has grown by about 1 percent a decade in Antarctica. If that
sounds small, it's because it's an average. Because the continent is so
large, it's a little like lumping together the temperatures of the Maine
and California coasts, Vaughan says.

Mark Serreze, director of the snow and ice data center, says computer
models have long predicted that Antarctica would not respond as quickly to
global warming as other places. Since 1960, the Arctic has warmed the most
of the world's regions, and Antarctica has warmed the least, according to
NASA data.

Scientists on the cruise with Maksym are spending eight to 12 hours a day
on the ice bundled up against the fierce wind with boots that look like
Bugs Bunny's feet. It's dangerous work. Cracks in sea ice can form at any
time. Just the other day a sudden fissure stranded a team of scientists
until an inflatable bridge rescued them.

"It's a treacherous landscape," Vaughan says.

Rightard, the flatulence that you spew on line daily is 1,000 times
the greenhouse gasses that your intellectual and moral superiors emit
on any given day.

Still, at least the rightarded buttfuck accepts the fact of global warming.
That's more than most of you benighted rightard loons are capable of.
It's progress of a sort, ey wot?
