Nothing to see here. It's only weather. Man causes climate to change not weather. We've all learned that weather is not climate and climate is not weather.

Arkansas locations experience record snowfall, low temperatures for May - Magnolia Reporter - Magnolia, Arkansas News: Regional News

That's not quite true, weather is to climate like a week is to a year. They both have the same components, rain, wind, sleet, snow, cold, warm etc.

More than average Antarctic ice +760,000
Less that average Arctic ice -425,000
-----------
difference +235,000sq. km.

More ice than average globally.

So what you are saying, Walter, is all this global warming is a bunch of bullsh*t!

Oh don't confuse deniers with facts. It snowed on them, so it is colder. They just don't want to feel responsible even though they are.

What about the global average amount of sea ice being greater?

It is very thin. It will be gone soon and we will see less long term ice as time goes by. Annual sea ice is meaningless.

That's why there's more of it every year in the Antarctic.

With a finite amount of water on the planet, rising sea levels can only be attributed to melting glaciers and ice caps. Now, what on Earth could cause glaciers and ice caps to melt?

Bloody cold in Alaska.

There is far more water underground in deserts than there is locked in glaciers.

This is - nuts.................

There is far more water underground in deserts than there is locked in glaciers.

??? Can we see some proof of that remarkable theory?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_resources disagrees. as does Rand - McNally .

Actually, the majority of sea level rise is thermal expansion of the oceans. Heat up water and it expands. The next biggest contributor is on-land melting of ice. But even if the glaciers weren't receding, and ice caps were stable in mass, the ocean could and would still rise.

Right on cue.

Global warming? No, actually we're cooling, claim scientists - Telegraph

 

[darkbeaver]

Earths water is not finite, neither is oil. More current more water and oil.

Hmm, they could only quote one scientist who claims the Earth is cooling...I've seen some people playing fast and loose with statistics, to get the time interval needed to say that global warming has stopped, i.e. trend statistically the same as zero. Haven't even seen those charlatans claim that the earth is cooling.

 

[petros]

0.6C? Wow that's smoking hot. The realists have an issue wiith the last part of the graph going negative?

 

[Locutus]

Ah, label-makers...'realists' and 'skeptics' :lol:

How sad.
