Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Breaks All-Time Record

Antarctic Sea Ice Extent Breaks All-Time Record
Despite the overwhelming number of commercials, educational institutions and global organizations that have been warning humanity about the melting of sea ice in the Arctic, things aren’t always as they are made to seem. This may sound hard to believe especially considering ‘global warming’ has been dominating human perception for years. Arctic ice extent makes up 10 percent of the world’s ice extent, it’s this area that is used as one ‘proof’ to suggest that global warming is accelerating.(16) Antarctic ice extent, on the other hand, makes up 90 percent of the world’s ice extent.(16) The worlds ice extent doesn’t really seem to be melting. Antarctic sea ice extent is currently at an all time high, and has many scientists scratching their heads. (1)(17) We are supposed to be experiencing significant global warming, so why is the ice growing and not melting? The Antarctic has even recently broke the all time record set for ice extent in recorded satellite history.(17)
Please keep in mind that if you doubt global warming, and the current explanations for climate change you are not alone. That is touched upon later in this article so please read before you comment. This article is just presenting information.

I like this, because science.
I know it's getting hotter, but now we just need to learn how to use this phenomena to keep the coasts from getting submerged.

Interesting. Funny how people can watch a video of a melting glacier and that easily believe the whole is doomed. On the other hand though, my main beef with articles like this is not that they aren't true, it's that people take them the wrong way!
Sure, global warming may be a hoax, the earth goes through climate changes naturally and yadda yadda. BUT, does that mean we should all stop caring about pollution and continue to trash the earth? HELL FUCKING NO. Pollution is pollution no matter what, and we can't continue to live like we are just because the ice caps aren't melting. We are still polluting waterways, destroying habitats and killing off species on a daily basis.
Sorry for the rant, but I do actually have to deal with people who get all smug when they learn global warming isn't true and think they can just continue to do whatever the hell they want with no repercussion. Rednecks around here pride themselves on dirtying the air, even though children in this area are now born with ridiculously high asthma rates and other similar problems.
So respect your mother , K?

I don't think that there is anyone that believes that polluting the planet is a good thing.
but this belief that humans are causing global warming is and always has been a BULLSHIT concept to scare people
just like the concept of god

Ohhh believe me, they exist. Sad, but true.
I know global warming is fake, I agreed with it. My point is it's irrelevant to even think about because we need to change regardless.

Idk if I would say global warming is FAKE.. It seems more like global warming is happening naturally and our destructive pollution is only accelerating the process, at least thats how Id imagine it.

He's talking about human based global warming.
We've known the planet has been warming since the last ice age

CO2 being a greenhouse gas isn't really possible to argue again.
Trust me we're helping, global warming is also certain since permanent surface ice isn't normal for the planet (we are still in an ice age technically)
And it's certain we are helping, the CO2 leaving the ocean is also making it worse. The thing is obviously there are global systems that cool us back down though. Perhaps what we are seeing is one of the things we couldn't be aware of until it was observed. Remember, ALL of our scientific data is unfortunately confined to what observations we have made in (mostly) the last two centuries. The fact that the best hypothesis didn't explain all phenomena is a non-issue.
There are always auxiliary hypotheses we might not be testing that are false though.

I'm sorry the scientists haven't discovered enough in the last couple of hundred years to satisfy you, I'm so glad we have top notch scientists like you to help the search for answers!

It's not my fault you only listen to a small minority of scientists

Prove it bro, because every scientist I've met doesn't agree with you.
You should read on the philosophy of science, there is always under-determination of the current date with regards to Falsification and Confirmation. There will always be debate, but our data suggest that what we do should be causing global warming.

I have read far more on this topic than most and the only 'scientists' making this claim of human based G.W. are the ones tied to the IPCC
It's a purely political move to give rise to a new tax code.

As George Carlin once said "The planet is fine...the people are fucked." All this damage we have caused to the earth will eventually go away after we are gone and the earth regenerates itself.

And all the chemistry/physics I know that supports that idea is all made up too right?
