Jonathan DuHamel: Claim: Global warming causes Arctic ice to melt and Antarctic ice to increase
Article Tags: Ice Chart, Jonathan DuHamel
Within just a few days in September, Arctic sea ice extent reached the lowest minimum ever recorded by satellites since 1979, while at the same time, Antarctic sea ice reached the greatest extent ever recorded.
In my post “The Arctic-Antarctic seesaw” I explained how natural forces work to produce these phenomena. In my post “Challenge to the Arizona Daily Star – get the facts” I accused the Arizona Daily Star of content bias because they prominently reported the Arctic minimum, but until now, did not report the Antarctic maximum.
Now, 21 days after the Antarctic maximum, the Arizona Daily Star has reprinted an AP article which attempts to spin observations to fit AGW global warming theory: “Experts: Global warming means more Antarctic ice.” The article author is Seth Borenstein, long known for bad reporting on climate change. With global warming media bias, it’s “heads I win; tails you lose.”
The AP/Star story says, “It sounds counterintuitive, but the Antarctic is part of the warming as well.” Really? Was this a surprise to some climate scientists and their models? Let’s see what the climate models said according to a study in the Journal of Climate:
