Well NASA just released a report about Antarctica ice, saying that although the sides of the ice pack are shinking some, there is actually more ice than ever before because it's getting thicker. After reading about some of NOAA's reports, I don't ever recall hearing that from them. I just have to wonder if they knew about it.

Yep, and your example is so typical as the liberals distort information to help their cause. The experts know that wider but thinner ice packs are meaningless in the long term, and are far more subject to melting in the off season than are the thick ice packs. But, it makes for much better drama if they're trying to worry folks about getting washed off by rouge tsunamis surging far into the heartland from the resultant icemelt.

But, they knew about it alright. See there is something afoot right now that business as usual bureaucrats and their puppet master academics are not prepared to deal with. It is the given up for dead but, newly revived concept known as a self governing society ala the intent of the founders. The climate alarmists, (especially teachers and liberal legislators) have gotten so used to making these wild eyed speculations to their subordinates and voting base, now that real supporting data are being demanded by "the people", they do what all pseudo science advocates do, they lie. But initially, they stonewall to keep from saying things that could be checked up on. It is the defense mechanism we have seen utilized from top to bottom. Stonewalling and hazing added to a lot of time for 'cooking' it all up, and viola, the barn needs shoveling again. :biggrin:

And it is very nice to speak to someone who actually takes the time to become informed about the issues of the day, rather than getting their opinion handed to them by political handlers such as the DNC and the liberal talking heads.
