Icebound Iqaluit!

Where did you get the silly idea that the Arctic ocean has tides and winds that can push ice inland over permafrost slicked by mud and water? A climate scientist?
Bear can tell you what it does to non-tidal Lake Simcoe shorelines. It piles up pretty good on Nipissing too. Oceans with wind and a tide? Never happens
Not to a climate scientist working out of his mother's basement in Toronto.
I've seen the same thing to a much lessor extent of course in the inlets on the West Coast.
Huh? How would you know where I've been or not? Whatta fu cking moron.
Yet you keep answering my posts. lmao
You haven't shown anything except your incompetence at discussion and inability to provide support for your moronic claims.
lol You haven't got a clue what maturity is, so your suggestion means dic kall.
Well, now you've met someone from BC that doesn't put up with your sewer sludge.
Beached our butts. A little boating, too.
North of Rankin inlet I used to sit on the tundra and watch the icebergs floating by towards Hudsons bay.If the wind changed they wound up on shore.
Actually, extent isn't area. Extent is defined as any area in the grid with greater than 15% concentration of sea ice. You can see the difference when you compare extent numbers with area, which come from different data products. Current NH sea ice area is 3.556 million square kilometers, while the current NH sea ice extent is 5.876 million square kilometers. You can get a crude estimate of how fragmented the ice is by comparing the two. Extent includes a lot of open water.
That's why many are expecting rapid disintegration over the next few days, as an intense low pressure system moves over an area of fragmented ice on the southeast side of the Arctic. The biggest changes will likely be seen in the extent numbers, as the fragmented ice becomes compacted by the storm.
The storms aren't just bad for the sea ice, they're also bad for coastal areas. The reduction in sea ice opens up more land to storm surge, and one such storm in 1999 caused a significant impact on the MacKenzie delta. Storm surge moved about 20 kilometers inland, and killed 90% of the alders growing in the area. It also increased the abundance of a salt water algae growing in an inland lake, effectively transforming a freshwater lake into a brackish lake. Years later, there has been no recovery of that ecosystem.

Yep, still lots of claims and nothing to support them. SOP for Krapatoe.
Warmer oceans don't melt ice, but the sun does.

I was using it loosely, Tonington, to mean the area of the waters that has ice present. Thanks for explaining it, though, I forgot that some of our friends would not have understood. I simply want to contrast that witl volume - as shown in the Charts - to emphasise the massive reduction that has already occurred.
Funny how this has now become all about the wind blowing ice ashore as though it were of any relevance. Though, of course, the winds up there have become stronger and more intense with the warmer air.
But, the thirty year record of decline is not true since every year the wind blows the ice ashore.

No,the winds have remained the same,Environment canada has records going back to the first weather stations in the arctic before you were born.
I have been trying to point out this is a natural occurrence that happens all the time and explain it and you drag your agenda into it.
Too funny,maybe you need some graphs.
That shows how well acquainted you are with geophysics. The lithosphere falls within the same field and it all the happenings in that are interconnected. Earthquakes, tectonic shift, the effect of coral on the surface (loss of or addition to).
He did one on sea level rise in the last interglacial in a very specific area, too. That is all part of it: the lithosphere. That one, incidentally, was amusing since it delighted the deniers for a short time until they were sufficiently ridiculed for their misunderstanding.
No,what happened in Iqaluit is normal,it happens all the time in the arctic and many other places,it has nothing to do with a freaking litho sphere or climate change.
It's just the wind dude,nothing more,nothing less.
um ... uh ... er.... Not so bad when I realized this basket case carb I nabbed at a garage sale was shy one return spring....
You might like to look at this to find out something about Arctic wind and how the loss of ice cover is worsening the winds and their effects. Or, you might not since it would burst your balloons.

If I post a description of, say, Hurricane Katrina, you will claim that the Hurricane never happened because the report is from a blog run by scientists?
Do you have one brain between you that you can share?
