A Climate Headline You Won't See: All Time Record Growth of Antarctic Sea Ice

[LowDown]

You won't see the headline in English, anyway. It's reported in Der Spiegel. Translation:

Researchers have measured a new record for sea-ice extent in the Antarctic. Why the white splendour is extending there while it is rapidly disappearing in the Arctic is a mystery

Maybe the CO2 doesn't make it that far south.

Whenever the ice at the North and South Pole is mentioned, it is mostly in the context of melting ice triggered by global warming. However, the sea ice in Antarctica – in contrast to that in the Arctic – has proved to be remarkably robust. New measurements have now confirmed that. As the U.S. space agency NASA announced, the sea ice in the Antarctic has extended over an area of ​​19.47 million square meters at the end of September. That is the highest since measurements began in 1979.

NASA science reported in Germany but not in the US. Nice.

US News Media: totally agenda driven, totally untrustworthy.

Really?


Antarctic sea ice hit 35-year record high Saturday

That was published: September 23 at 3:23 pm

Have you ever had icicles form on the eaves of your roof?


"...Ice dams form when the upper part of the roof is warm enough to melt snow and the eaves are cold enough to freeze the runoff into icicles. What typically causes a roof to be warm is air from inside the house seeping into the attic and heating it up..."


I suspect a similar principle is happening in the Antartic.

I read in another article the water is warmer than ever. Sounds like that might fit your theory.

If Antartica's land ice is melting and all that fresh water is flowing into the ocean and freezing in the winter to form sea ice, then that would fit my theory.



"....Between 1992 and 2011, the Antarctic Ice Sheets overall lost 1350 giga-tonnes (Gt) or 1,350,000,000,000 tonnes into the oceans, at an average rate of 70 Gt per year (Gt/yr)......

Antarctica is losing land ice as a whole, and these losses are accelerating quickly.....read..."

Is Antarctica losing or gaining ice?
