The Antarctic ice has been rising in massive areas for a minimum of 85 years, equivalent to air photographs – Watts?

Sensational new discoveries, which result from long-for-forgotten early aerial photos, indicate that ice has remained stable over a distance of 2,000 km in the East Antarktis since the 1930s and has even grown slightly. In a work recently published in Nature Communications, researchers from the University of Copenhagen came to their conclusions by pursuing the glacier movement in an area with as much ice cream as the Greenland ice shield. It is unlikely that the results will appear in narrative mainstream media. Silence will probably think the reaction to another recent paper in which the ice bowl around the Antarctic developed in the total size from 2009 to 2019.

The Copenhagen scientists examined hundreds of old aerial photographs that were recorded in 1937 for the mapping of work. The pictures were supplemented with a number of photos that were taken in the 1950s and 1974 of the same area and a 3D computer reconstruction was created. This enabled the researchers to examine the development of glaciers over a significant period of time. In order to determine whether the recent trends exceed the extent of natural variability, long -term observations become crucial.

“Compared to modern data, the ice flow speeds are unchanged. While some glaciers have diluted over shorter intermediate rooms of 10 to 20 years, they are stable in the long term or have grown slightly, which indicates a system in balance ”, it was found.

Actual long -term scientific observations are always exceeding media -friendly computer -modeled pseudo -scientific opinions and alerted by short -term outliers. The authors find that the use of data from historical sources such as early photographs offers a comprehensive coverage in large areas with detailed temporal and three -dimensional information. Geological evidence covers longer time scales with temporal uncertainties of thousands of years, while estimates from ice skins are generally very locally and spatially locked up. In Antarctic, it is emphasized that the lack of historical climate data climate reader estimates before 1970 makes “largely uncertain”, while “observed trends cannot be clearly differentiated from the natural variability”. Not that this stops mainstream activists like Clive Cookson in the Financial Times, who recently reacted to a two-year downward memory in the Antarctic Sea ice, with the suggestion that the area of ​​a “catastrophic cascade of extreme environmental events … the climate all over the world will influence”.

Of course, a “system in balance” is the last thing that a net-netto-obsessed mainstream wants to hear about. The circumpolar current of the antaration is the strongest water flow on the planet, and on March 4, the BBC brought the news that it was “the risk of failure”. New studies are intended to indicate that the current electricity will be 20% slower within 25 years, “if the world warms itself, with far -reaching consequences for life on earth”.

Fresh ice meltwater is said to cause major changes in the density structure of the ocean, which leads to a predicted slowdown of the electricity. Inexplicit, the BBC report did not notice that the prediction was created by a computer model that had been loaded with a “path” that was assumed that global temperatures would rise to 4 ° C within a few 80 years. The clickbait search scientists behind the results observed the recently decreasing sea ice in the Antarctic, but did not recover. At the end of 2024 the extent of sea ice was approximately the average from 1981 to 2010. According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center based in the USA, “this shows a sharp representation of the high variability of the expansion of the sea ice des Antarctic”. The most recent investigation of earlier photographic evidence provides more insights, with early Nimbus weather satellite images show that the decline of 2023 was similar to 1966.

Regular readers of the daily skeptics will of course be aware that Antarctica is a difficult place to whip the climate panic, although it must be granted that mainstream science and media have blocked little effort to do so. In the past seven decades there has been little or no warming in large areas of the continent. The warming on the west side is directly on a large number of volcanoes. A newspaper recently published by Singh and Polvani showed that the Antarctic Meereis “modestly expanded, a finding that seems to confirm the work on the ice shelf between 2009 and 2019. The warming was “almost not available” for over 70 years, State Singh and Polvani. According to the NASA numbers, ice loss is 0.0005% per year. Antarctic leaves a lot to wish as an example of how people wish to wish the climate by burning hydrocarbons and eating meat.
