I have a question.

If global warming is fake, how come those glaciers are shrinking? And
so does the Arctic ice?

You mean this ice?

Check the second link...see who it is? Might want to review your
choices in data a bit more...carefully.

Yeah, like the second link. Do you EVER read the stuff you link to?
Iggy asks about Arctic ice, and Gunner posts a link from NASA that
says:

"Since the late 1970s, the Arctic has lost an average of 20,800 square
miles (53,900 square kilometers) of ice a year; the Antarctic has
gained an average of 7,300 square miles (18,900 sq km).

"The upward trend in the Antarctic, however, is only about a third of
the magnitude of the rapid loss of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean."

Sometimes I wonder how Gunner made it through high school.

Ed, I did see that, but when one place is shrinking and another is
growing, you have to wonder what is going on.

Well, read the whole article. This has been discussed in the
literature for at least a few years. They suspect it represents a
change in global weather patterns (not overall climate), resulting in
a low-pressure area over the Amundson Sea:

"... in the Bellingshausen Sea just to the west of the peninsula the
sea ice is shrinking. Beyond the Bellingshausen Sea and past the
Amundsen Sea, lies the Ross Sea – where much of the sea ice growth is
occurring. The Ross Sea region has seen some of the largest increases
in Antarctic sea ice extent.

"That suggests that a low-pressure system centered in the Amundsen Sea
could be intensifying or becoming more frequent in the area, she said
– changing the wind patterns and circulating warm air over the
peninsula, while sweeping cold air from the Antarctic continent over
the Ross Sea."

The deniers tend to seize on local weather events and assume they
represent larger climate events. The bottom line is that polar ice is
shrinking three times faster than it's growing.

Very interesting. Maybe I should buy some real estate on a Florida
beach... just kidding

Try buying something around, say, Opa-locka. Your kids may wind up
with beach-front. d8-)
