Question,
If the net quantity of ice in the world (not counting the antarctic) is decreasing but the ice in the antarctic is increasing can anyone tell me the net of the whole system?
It seems to me that under that scenario if antarctica becomes a net melting it will be very bad.
Also, could an increase in net ice in antarctica protect the rest of the world from warming?

After giving it a little thought, it seems that if the net ice in the world (other than antarctica) is decreasing, that would mean that the rest of the world is warming.
So, wouldn't that warming water wash up on the shores of antarctica and melt the ice there regardless of the quantity of ice in Antarctica.
Does warm water melt ice or does ice cause water to freeze in the case of the temperatures at the ocean/antarctica interface??

Let me fire that back at you. If the net ice mass of both the Greenland Ice Sheet and of Antarctica is increasing, doesn't that tell us that the earth is cooling?

Re: antarctic ice.
The net ice of antarctic is increasing because it doesn't get above freezing an precipitation accumulates much faster than sublimation so i don't believe accumulation of ice in antarctica says that the earth is warming.

There is nothing to be learned about ice from a local temperature average.

There are simple but irrefutable observations that one can make that clearly show ice mass accumulation in both Greenland and Antarctica.

Here's an interesting ice/land interface situation. On enceladus (a moon of Saturn) there is heat coming out of the core because of tidal heating. It melts the ice next to the core. As you get further and further from the core (closer to the ice interior surface) the temperature of the water gets colder and colder because it is farther and farther from the heat source
That means that in the underground oceans of enceladus there is a large variety of temperatures for life to choose from. There are also organic molecules galore in the underground water.
I poses an exciting prospect of life on another world.

No. It is not even possible to determine the amount of ice in the Antarctic. All we can do is measure its area every winter (the winter ice extent). We don't know its thickness.
keepit wrote:

Parts of Antarctica melt every year. It's called 'summer'. It refreezes every winter.
During summer in Antarctica, no noted change in sea level occurs anywhere.
keepit wrote:

No.

The ice in Antarctica is there because the earth is round, and the Sun doesn't strike the poles as directly as the equator. In addition, the poles are tilted 23.5 degrees. During the winter, the Sun doesn't rise at all. It gets damn cold.

The ice at the poles doesn't change the temperature of the Earth. The ice at the poles is there BECAUSE of the temperature of the Earth and the uneven heating the Sun provides upon its surface.

Not necessarily. It simply may be dry. Antarctica happens to be a very dry desert. Very little snow falls upon large portions of it. Ice can sublimate as well. This is direct conversion from solid to vapor. It can and does happen in dry areas. You can see this effect on aircraft when the ice on the wing is disappearing at temperatures below -30 deg F.

Re; Greenland. Is the ice there increasing or decreasing? I thought it was decreasing?


No one knows, but various cores do show increasing ice. There is no massive lake in the center of Greenland. There is no river flowing through the mountain ranges to the sea. The only gap such a river could form in is on the northwest side of the continent.

These cores are made by technicians working for the snow and ice data centers in Boulder, CO, and for various nations around that area (Norway is big into this). They all show the same thing.

If they do show an increase, it doesn't mean an ice age is coming.
If they do show a decrease, it doesn't mean it will all melt or even that any more of it will melt.

It's not possible to measure the total ice in Antarctica. We can measure the area covered every winter, and those records are at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, CO.

Expeditions down there have also taken ice cores, but since Antarctica is almost twice the size of the United States, a few cores here and there don't mean much.

None of it can predict the future. Increasing ice does not mean it will continue to increase. Decreasing ice does not mean it will continue to decrease.

Did you just use wording to the effect of assigning humanity the power to decide whether to "allow" the earth to have radiance?

keepit wrote: Look at venus. It has a lot of CO2 and the temp is 800 plus F.

Yes. The fact that it has a lot of CO2 is immaterial. What matters is Venus' proximity to the sun and that it has a lot of atmosphere (which only affects the temperature at the bottom of the atmosphere).

keepit wrote: There have been landers there which have measured the temp.

You specified that at least one lander has measured "the" temperature. Which temperature? I hope you aren't going to try to tell me that a thermometer measured more than one point at a time.

Are you seriously suggesting that three thermometers, each of which landed in a different year, are capable of measuring the temperature of an entire planet with any sensible margin of error??

Sooner or later I knew you would turn to the argument by consensus. It's part of the Church of Global Warming scripture. After all, you are defending the High Priests of the Church of Global Warming, the so-called climate 'scientist'.

Consensus is not used in science.
It does not change the Stefan-Boltzmann law. It does not make it go away.
It does not change the laws of thermodynamics. It does not make them go away.
It does not change statistical mathematics. It does not make it go away.

No book, encyclopedia, scientist, group of scientists, government organization, university, society, academy, web page, voting bloc, newspaper, magazine, license, degree, or law changes what these theories are.

Nobody votes on a theory of science. You are simply denying them based on the argument of popularity fallacy. This is a type of the argument of the stone fallacy.

You cannot vote these theories out of existence.

The equations themselves.

You have already done experiments. Even as a little kid you experimented on the effects of gravity upon you and upon objects around you. I assume you have played with magnets as some point. That 'play' is experiments.

You do not need to do experiments on these equations. You can if you want to, but the purpose of an experiment is to try to break a theory of science. Science does not use supporting evidence. Only religions use consensus and supporting evidence. The only other place consensus is used is politics.

Science is a set of falsifiable theories. The 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics that you ignore are part of that set of theories. So is the Stefan-Boltzmann law.

You do not need to know the history of these theories for them to be in force. The fact that they exist is enough.

You are trying to evade the these theories by changing them.
