You made the specific claim that: Earth's surface gained 115,000 km2 of water and 173,000 km2 of land over the past 30 years, including 20,135 km2 of water and 33,700 km2 of land in coastal areas. Now, forgive me for stating the obvious, but the Earth's surface cannot possibly gain both land and water. The area of the Earth's surface is fixed. Any gain in land area must equal a loss in water area and vice versa. So what were you trying to say? If you are unable to express coherently whatever point you're trying to make, how about giving a link to the site where you found those numbers so that we can see for ourselves what was meant? |

If you look at this chart: http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/ you will notice an extremely rapid arctic ice sheet recovery. It must be that climate change thingy. Meanwhile the Antarctic has been plugging along without any problems. Nobody informed that continent that there's global warming and it should be melting away. https://neptune.gsfc.nasa.gov/csb/index.php?section=234 Or we could listen to one of the warmies here who is proclaiming that the "east Antarctic Ice Sheet is melting: Actually it is the west Antarctic (but who is criticizing a slight slip) - and this is melting because of a volcano that has actually grown now to the point where it is sticking out of the ice sheet. According to the warmies lava is powerless against ice. |

The manner in which the ocean's level can rise is exactly as I said before - the glacial rebound lifts the land and the decrease in mass density changes the center of gravity of the Earth towards the deep ocean trenches. So the land rises AND the water surface increases. In short the water level AND the land levels increase making the Earth fractionally larger in diameter. This has a limit in which this can occur but the warm period will probably end before that point is reached. 2. "climate scientist" in another string was attempting to address the causes of Arctic melting and how the ice sheet is only shifting, that was misunderstood by the anti-warmies who were attacked by people like you who didn't understand what he was saying either. Our Northwest Passage is now more ice free than normal and the Russian coastline is more ice sheet than normal. Perhaps if you weren't dead set on simply attacking anyone whom you consider to have an opposite political position than yours you might learn something but I doubt it.

Some quick facts Vostok The lowest reliably measured temperature on Earth of −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F) was in Vostok on 21 July 1983 The coldest wind chill was −124 °C (−191 °F) on 24 August 2005 with a real temperature of −74 °C (−101 °F). Though unconfirmed, it has been reported that Vostok reached the temperature of −91 °C (−132 °F) on 28 July 1997.[19] The warmest recorded temperature at Vostok is −14.0 °C (6.8 °F), which occurred on 5 January 1974 The coldest month was August 1987 with a mean temperature of −75.4 °C (−103.7 °F) the warmest month was December 1989 with mean of −28 °C (−18 °F) Well, that should should put that theory in the freezer.
