Over the past 30 years the satellite data indicates the surface area of Arctic ice has diminished.

No, it hasn't. Why do you consider 30 years and now as significant points of comparison? Why not any other two points? Why are they NOT significant?

Fish moving further north is another indication that the waters have warmed.

Nope. It's an indication that their food source is better further north. Fish really don't care about a few degrees of temperature.

No, that would be YOU. You believe the equator was frozen, as if you were there to see it. You have said that hotter is cooler. You have said that less sea ice is why there is more sea ice.

That's pretty wild stuff.

Shut your eyes. They prevent you from seeing the Sun, yet your eyelids are a lot smaller than the Sun. Someday you'll learn how a shadow works. You might play around with a flashlight and a globe in a dark room to figure this out.

I guess it's hard to believe the people who said they landed on the moon by shooting a really big cannon at the sky.

They didn't. That is a story of fiction. A cannon would've got the craft there alright, but the passengers inside would've been pulverized by the acceleration from the cannon, and the deceleration from hitting the Moon. The craft would've been mangled beyond recognition.

We used a rocket instead. The Saturn V rocket, and the lunar lander it carried (another rocket), allows for a soft lift off, and an soft landing on the Moon.

No problem. We decided to go the Moon, we built the craft to get us there, and we went to the Moon and came back. We went several times.

ITN: The video is a lie. It is a composite of ice extent taken from a winter to a summer and shown as progressive winter ice extent.

SI: Ok. So you agree it shows how much surface area ice has been melting over 30 years, during the season when ice melts, but not during the season when ice doesn't melt.

ITN: Nope. It's an indication that their food source is better further north. Fish really don't care about a few degrees of temperature."

SI: Warmer temperatures prevent water from mixing, allowing algae to grow thicker and faster. There is your initial food source. From there it's a food chain reaction. This is yet another example of ITN skipping over the root cause of an effect. It's like he or she thinks the food source just pops up out of nowhere.

ITN: Shut your eyes. They prevent you from seeing the Sun, yet your eyelids are a lot smaller than the Sun. Someday you'll learn how a shadow works. You might play around with a flashlight and a globe in a dark room to figure this OUT.

SI: Completely inaccurate and moronic comparison. Are you joking? Shutting your eyes will block everything from view. The moon perfectly blocks just the sun disc from view in a solar eclipse.

ITN: Paradox. Which is it, dude? Hotter is cooler???? You have said that less sea ice is why there is more sea ICE.

SI: I have considered that warmer summers in the Arctic leads to greater melting and evaporation and this may be a factor leading to greater cooling in the winter.

ITN: Why do you consider 30 years and now as significant points of comparison? Why not any other two points? Why are they NOT significant?

SI: 30 years is a considerable amount of time to observe if there significant change. 30 years is not necessarily significant. It is the diminishing ice surface area over this considerable time that is significant and warrants an explanation

ITN: We used a rocket instead.

SI: Gee thanks for the clarification. I was making a reference to Newton's cannonball thought experiment as a joke Did you know, if you fire a rocket at the sky, and shut off the engines when you reach the speed of around 25,000 mph, you will just keep falling until you land on the moon?

It is I who made the claim that the equator has been frozen in the past not the sponge.I am identifying that a lot of faith is put in NASA because of the lunar landings.I am sure NASA has a PR team 2 scenarios.The team go to ask for funding and declare the following
.We will never be able to colonize mars
.The planet is fine and going great
.Can we have 10 billion US for space exploration

scenario 2
.We are very close to being able to colonize Mars
.In 50 years the planet will be to hot to sustain life due to greenhouse gasses and mankind will go extinct
.Can we have 10 billion US dollars to keep going

ITN: No. Do not put words in my mouth. What warmer temperatures?

The temperatures in the Arctic, which I'm pretty sure have warmed over the past 30 years, as you can see, by looking at relevant satellite data, depicting diminishing sea ice, over 30 seasons.

ITN: No, this is another example of a redirection fallacy and a compositional error fallacy.

SI: I'm trying to point out, if fish are moving further north, as duncan said, and it is due to them finding more food there, as you said, it could indicate waters are getting warmer in the far north. Maybe even near Norway!

ITN: Special pleading fallacy. Also wrong. The Moon doesn't perfectly block the Sun on each eclipse.

SI: What is a special pleading fallacy??? The disc of the moon exactly lines up with the disc of the sun in a total eclipse. In an annular eclipse the moon appears just slightly smaller. Solar eclipses are fairly numerous, about 2 to 4 per year, but the area on the ground covered by totality is only about 50 miles wide.

ITN: You can't decrease entropy in any system. See the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

SI: "The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time, and is constant if and only if all processes are reversible." All processes have not been reversed. More CO2 has been added to the system.

ITN: Circular definition fallacy. Answer the question put to you. You just said it was. You are now locked in paradox. Which is it, dude? You are being irrational. Irrational. You can't argue both sides of a paradox.

SI: Dude you sound like a broken bot. If the ice melted and froze every year into a different shaped blob in the sea, but the total size of the surface area was pretty consistent over 30 years of observation, then you could say the data is random. If 40% of the ice observed at the surface area diminishes in 30 years, you can conclude there has been a significant change which has occurred in the system.

ITN: Irrelevance fallacy.

SI: It is relevant because Earth is like the Hotel California. You can check out any time you like. But you can never leave.

ITN: No argument presented. Irrelevance. Paradox. Denial of science. Denial of mathematics. Redirections.

And you guys just happened to bring up my favourite topic of discussion, ozone depletion. This harms phytoplankton first and foremost. Basically it is what fish care about.
My question is if you guys are this stupid. Phytoplankton is the basis of marine life. It's like if there was no corn in Iowa, what would Iowa be? A chicken farm? Can I be this cruel to GasGuzzler and ignore how Iowa is a leader in education for wind turbines? I need to ignore this last part about Iowa and clean energy technology. My bad.
As much as I hate to say this, phytoplankton prefer cold water. Could be why the Grand Banks is one of the richest fishing areas in the world. It's fed by the cold, arctic waters of the Labrador Current which comes directly from the Arctic (choking on this) Ocean (it's actually a sea).
And that supports a null hypothesis according to logic that cold arctic waters encourage phytoplankton while warmer, tropical waters off of Florida which is poor in marine life is poor in marine life. (Thank You Harvey).
What I want to know is how you guys don't know this. You're Americans, right? You're forgiven. As Jesus said, forgive them for they do not know that they are stupid. Amen.

Thanks wise guy.

"Each spring when sea ice melts in the Arctic or Antarctic, the ice leaves behind a layer of fresh water on the ocean surface that is full of nutrients. Microorganisms use the nutrients to develop, forming the basis for organisms higher in the food chain."

Still looks like more melt would support more phytoplankton.

What if:

2) Longer sub arctic summers mean more tree growth and, hence, more CO2 absorption. Where does this affect show up in the arguments, pro or con?
3) Ditto re: the growth of single-celled organisms in the arctic and sub-arctic zones, and their affects on CO2 absorption, particularly the phytoplankton?
4) Warmer atmospheric temperatures mean more evaporated water, more clouds, more rain, increased albedo, etc., etc.

When will there be some recognition of the fact that the world has been emerging from the last ice age over the past 15-20k years, ie: is climate change more than just a political rallying issue, is it something that exists only because we just woke up to it, is it a phenomenon that humans can do anything to reverse, or even just slow down?

An annular eclipse has no zone of totality. A special pleading fallacy is based on a divisional error. It is denying a class because of an exceptional element of that class. You can look up examples on the web.

Not the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The 2nd of thermodynamics is e(t+1) >= e(t) where 'e' is entropy, and 't' is time. The system must be consistent and definable. In other words, closed. It does not need to be isolated. CO2 is not a source of energy and cannot override the 2nd law of thermodynamics. You are now also denying the 1st law of thermodynamics. You can't create energy out of nothing.

Guess you've never spent much time in Florida... We have a huge variety of marine life. Shark bite capital of the world... Plenty of fish, and other sea critters. The big difference is that Florida isn't mainly dependent on the ocean for food, like those frozen wastelands up north.

I think people are a little off in all the gaseous layers crap. The planet is always moving, water and gases don't always move at the same pace, since there is also gravity, and temperature differences. We get currents, wind, even jet streams. Hardly a stagnated pond model of the real world. It's easier for most people to stop time, take a snapshot of what they want to look at, but that's just a brief moment in time, and already changed, by the time the take another snapshot to gaze at for a while.

Parrot Killer,

1)

"Satellite-mounted, microwave radiometers, are an ideal tool for the estimating sea ice extent because they can see through cloud cover, and they have frequent, global coverage. A passive microwave instrument detects objects through emitted radiation since different substance have different emission spectra."

If you don't want to accept the sea ice estimates from satellites here is another study:

"A study of data collected on submarine cruises shows that mean ice draft (thickness from the Arctic ocean surface to the bottom of the ice pack) for 29 stations decreased by 1.3 meters compared to 20 to 40 years ago, representing a 40% reduction in ice volume (Rothrock et al., 1999)."

And another one:

"recent warming has been accompanied by decreases in the extent and thickness of sea ice, increases in borehole temperatures in permafrost and permafrost thawing, and later freeze-up and earlier break-up dates for river and lake ice. Permafrost warming has been reported in Russia, China, Alaska, and western Canada (Osterkamp et al., 1998). Where the permafrost has a high ice content, extensive thaw has resulted in ground settlement of as much as 5 to 10 meters -- damaging houses, roads, airports, and pipelines."

Evidence is substantial the Arctic is warming.

2)

If my hands are cold, I put on gloves, and my hands warm up. I have not added any energy to my body by just putting on gloves. I use the gloves to shield my hands from cold air, and to trap energy and keep them warm.

If the cloud cover of a frigid climate increases, wouldn't the same effect be observed?

3)

Since you so often state the 2nd law of thermodynamics you must mean Earth is in a closed system.

Is this your confirmation, CO2 can't escape the atmosphere if it doesn't get absorbed by plants, seas, or rocks?

It is not possible to trap thermal energy. There is always heat. Gloves (and coats, and blankets, or any other thermal insulation) reduces heat by conduction.

Other than lack of measuring equipment (never stopped the IPCC before), why only look back to the past 30 years? I was just a kid, but remember there was some massive melting going on in the 70's. They were finding frozen remains of extinct animals, and all kinds of other lost crap. Could it be, that there was some massive polar icing years, in the past 60 years, after the melting years?

The last ice age was what, 10,000 years ago? This is our first inter-glacial, where we started recording stuff in writing. The early records, found on cave walls, are a little hard to interpret, not sure how significant those records are. Could be decorative decor, graffiti, or just some crazies smearing feces on the walls.

I would have thought the democrats would have grown out of 'reading signs', then going bat crazy, trying to avoid some imagined catastrophe. When they lived near volcanoes, and the ground shook a little, they started dumping on the volcano. The point is that we've never been through any of this before, to really know what's going on, or what to expect, when. May not be what the democrats think at all, and sacrifices aren't going to have any more effect, as they did on the volcano erupting.

Not sure what level of CO2 in the atmosphere puts earth at higher risk.

I believe the Lybian glass fields are ancient evidence of the risk associated with excessive CO2 build up around
Mount Uwaynat (Gabal El Uweinat) mountain range where elevations reach higher than 6,000 feet.

There does seem to be many benefits of more melted sea ice at the north pole.

I never much consider evidence of ancient ice ages. Earlier duncan61 said the equator was once frozen. Don't know how that happened with the sun being where it is.

Fossils have been found that are particular to Arctic climates in the hills of Kenya and other African countries.The rift vally was created by a Glacier.You are all over thinking this.The ice forms and melts its what it does but somehow you think its all melting because of a tiny amount of CO2.People in 50 years are going to laugh their heads of when they look back on this period in history.In the 60s a soviet submarine punched through the ice It happened as a british submarine was tailing it.The spring thaw is because the sun shines directly on the ice and it melts.At the peak of summer it shines on the ice for days at a time.Explain why 2019 and 2020 Hudson bay completly froze over to Ontario and it has not done that for years.If you can some how compare putting gloves on a warm blooded mammal to clouds over frozen ocean I feel all rational discussion may be to late for you

Math error. Failure to declare and justify variance. Failure to calculate margin of error. Failure to select by randN. Failure to use data free of bias. Location grouping is significant. Thermometers must be uniformly placed. Time is significant. Thermometers must be read at the same time under the same authority. Variance is significant. You can't ignore it.

The ozone is created by the sun and ozone reverts back to O2 at night. At the poles, it is nighttime for months at a time (winter). This has the effect of greatly reduced, i.e. "depleted" ozone over the winter poles. Since there is no sun from which ozone protection is needed at the winter pole, the ozone "hole" or "depletion" is not an issue whatsoever.

We really only can guess and speculate about ice ages and inter-glacial periods. We didn't have a language, or writing that survived the last ice age, if there was any. All recorded observations started long after much of the last ice age melted. Glaciers can hang around a long time after the ice age, not a real good indicator. Long as annual precipitation more or less keeps up with the melt, the glacier persists. We don't know if most of the planet was ever frozen, all at the same time, for many years, or just parts of it. Obviously, some parts had to be warm enough for plant growth for animals to survive, specially the reptiles. Animals follow the food, and plants are the most basic food to find. Plants don't do real well in the ice and snow.

There is no absolute way of know what happened, when, or how long it lasted. Just like we don't know how this inter-glacial period is going to work out, how long it will last, or even if it has to end in another ice age. The trigger could be something simple, like a huge hunk of space rock slamming into the planet, which, almost never happens...

You are heating the next piece with the brick as well as the torch. The brick itself was heated by the torch. The brick is acting as a thermal ballast, but it is not creating energy by itself.

ITN,

Who said CO2 is heating up the entire solar system??? That is basically what you are arguing by citing the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics incessantly. It should be pretty obvious who is the one making irrelevant comments.

I'm just saying evidence is substantial ice levels in the Arctic have decreased significantly in the past few decades. Why do you think that is?

You know they never had solid proof connecting Ted Bundy to any murders. But the evidence was substantial enough to light his ass up.

Earth is not entirely a closed system. People are born everyday. You might want to consider it like a bicycle tire with air getting pumped into it.

One more thing, please tell me how gloves can warm my hands without violating the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics.

You're arguing that you can't add energy to a closed system.

Do you need me to spell out that people being born adds pressure to system when there was once none???

So, people dying relieves the pressure of the births. Does that include the 1500 abortion performed in America every day?

I tend to look at things from an electronic stand point, something I've work in a long time. When you have a weak signal, you need to amplify it. That can only be done, by adding energy. You get nothing for free, there is a certain cost to everything, a trade off.
