Arctic Sea Ice Hits Record Low

Titus Andronicus writes "Angela Fritz and Jeff Masters of Weather Underground analyze this year's record ongoing Arctic ice melt. Arctic sea ice extent, area, and volume are all at record lows for the post-1979 satellite era. The ice is expected to continue melting for perhaps another couple of weeks. Extreme sea ice melting might help cause greater numbers of more powerful Arctic storms, help to accelerate the melting of the Greenland ice sheet, and help to accelerate global warming itself, due to the increased absorption of solar energy into the ocean."

Right then.

It may well be too late to stop the warming trend, we will have to make the best of it.

"any explanation except the actual one."

Continuing to deny the existence of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is futile.

Kinnard et al. is a known climate change fabricator. He faked all that data. Anyway "science" is bullshit, because God created everything, and he can create anything he wants! He even created the devil and allows him to test you. You all think you're so smart, but God is smarter than you. He's letting the devil test you by planting fake evidence and dinosaur bones and stuff like that. God has ultimate power, and He could destroy the world in an instant, so I would be worrying more about your immortal soul than about 1,450 years of phoney satanic "evidence". When you are face to face with God, you will have to answer for the blaspheming you do today. Repent from "climate change" blasphemy and ask Jesus to forgive your sins of pride. Stop masturbating and start reading the bible, King James version. Time is running out, but not for the reasons you think.

So, in conclusion, satellites are melting the ice.

Darn, I thought the ice was causing the satellites.

Its clear the climate is changing. Its also clear there is lots we don't know about how the system works, and its not entirely clear where things are headed and its even less clear that its man made.

I am not saying it is not man made. It very well might be! I don't want to put money down that its not.

As the comic says, what if it's a big hoax and we create a better world for nothing?

But take a look at the data.

No! No! No! I won't! I won't! I won't! La La La La! I can't hear you!
