Baffled again? The Antarctic ice sheet has started gaining ice lately and no one knows why


By Jo Nova

Antarctica defies the experts
Two studies out this year suggest that something shifted in Antarctica recently and no one knows what it was. In 2016 Antarctic Sea Ice surrounding the continent mysteriously started to disappear. At the same time more snow started accumulating on Antarctic main ice-sheets (Fig 2b).

The GRACE satellite, measures the total surface mass — with all the gains as well as the losses —  and suggests after 20 years of decline the steadily falling trend has broken.

What matters most in this story is that the climate models didn’t see this change coming, and therefore are missing at least one big crucial factor, or maybe ten. Who knows?

Antarctica was supposed to suffer polar amplification, and heat twice as fast as the rest of the world. What happened to that?

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Maybe because it is cold down there?

Not so.  I'm sure you know that global warming is responsible for cold weather, so we can grab our swimwear and head for Antarctica because it must be quite warm to create all that ice. :whistle:

What does a scientist do when his pet hypothesis is consistently disproved by modeling, data collection, observation, and analysis?

He admits he was wrong, and if true to his practice, he studies the data, offers a new hypothesis and if necessary, develops new models to compare with empirical data.

Correct?

Not if you're a "climate expert". All your models have been wrong, but you want the government and NGO money to keep flowing, so what do you do?

Blame the results on "natural variability" or "incomplete data", and keep on keepin' on...

"If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people."    -Calvin Coolidge

So, reality doesn't fit the computer model?  Someone better find a way to fix reality or the whole Global Climate Change narrative and fraud will go down the crapper.
