Well, as I quoted, that - NASA - article is from 2015. This - NASA - article is from a few days ago: "Ramp-Up in Antarctic Ice Loss Speeds Sea Level Rise".
----------------------------------------The article states: Ice losses from Antarctica have tripled since 2012, increasing global sea levels by 0.12 inch (3 millimeters) in that timeframe alone, according to a major new international climate assessment funded by NASA and ESA (European Space Agency). According to the study, ice losses from Antarctica are causing sea levels to rise faster today than at any time in the past 25 years. Results of the Ice Sheet Mass Balance Inter-comparison Exercise (IMBIE) were published Wednesday in the journal Nature. “This is the most robust study of the ice mass balance of Antarctica to date,” said assessment team co-lead Erik Ivins at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). “It covers a longer period than our 2012 IMBIE study, has a larger pool of participants, and incorporates refinements in our observing capability and an improved ability to assess uncertainties.” This latest IMBIE is the most complete assessment of Antarctic ice mass changes to date, combining 24 satellite surveys of Antarctica and involving 80 scientists from 42 international organizations.

![]() Just because it's very bad in the Antarctic, it is not as if the situation in the Arctic is rosy ... For those interested the Danish Meteorological Institute has an article about the annual 'above-freezing' period in the Arctic. A Google translate will give you the gist. I have translated the subtitles of the two accompanying pictures. ![]() The Arctic goes from minus to plus During a short period in summers the temperatures in the Central Arctic are above freezing. That alters the reaction of the ice markedly. ![]() The ocean temperatures in the Arctic expressed as a deviation from the norm on June 13, 2018 The temperature of the water surrounding the ice is generally higher than normal for the Atlantic Arctic, while it is extremely warm – up to 5°C / 9°F – in the Bering Strait between Alaska and Russia and it the Tjuktjen Sea to the north of the Bering Strait. [my bold] I begin to think we have every reason to be worried - I being without offspring perhaps less than most seen from an egoistic point of view - but nevertheless I am |

I was worried and one day I opened a newspaper that described the 6 degrees of change
----------------------------------------The apocalyptic vision presented made me think hang on a minute you have gone too far People were being roasted in the street due to huge clouds of escaped methane turning the air to fire and I thought CO2 makes up 0.04% of the atmosphere. 1/25 of 1 percent. An odourless non-toxic gas that through photosynthesis creates the organic compounds that make up all life on earth ...People being burnt alive in the streets... So after the scientific fraud exposed by Climategate, still worried, I built the global thermometer which takes the temperatures from just under 2400 NOAA weather stations around the globe hourly and guess what ? We live on an unbelievably stable Planet. Our Planet doesn't runaway, the feedback loops are not self reinforcing. The feedback loops tend towards stability. If this wasn't true we wouldn't be here having this discussion Being greener and environmental conscious is a good thing. Minimising consumption and becoming more efficient is the great way forward. Worried no longer ![]() The graph is the result of 157,295,731 temperature measurements ...so far Incredibly stable - but why wouldn't you expect that ? ![]() |

Don't eat meat so much...don't drink CO2 drinks at all... So no problem for me. ![]() ![]() |

June 2018
----------------------------------------Warmest June in my temperature record being 43/1000ths of a degree warmer than 2016 at 20.943C. This apocalyptic anomaly means the annual temperature has risen 9/1000ths of a degree C since the end of May ![]() ![]() 157,848,250 individual temperature records to create the graphs above Have a lovely July ![]() Dave p.s. here's a great Youtube Video to brighten your day https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2u_TIWPupw&feature=youtu.be ![]() [Edit 2 times, last edit by David Autumns at Jul 1, 2018 11:25:27 AM] |

Hi Little Mermaid
----------------------------------------Really good news The Man with the Spanners liked what he saw on the X-Ray and he's unbolted some of my Bolts. I'm having a "stress test" week See http://www.wheelessonline.com/ortho/ilizarov_..._and_post_fixator_removal So after just over 4 months I am currently supporting my full weight on my own 2 legs. nuts and washers missing ![]() ![]() If I have problems this week I have to fix these back on !! ![]() I cannot wait until Tuesday. I am back to see the Man with the Spanners and find out if I have passed this test and hopefully get a date for when the frame, which has been holding my bones together all this time, can be removed completely I'm looking forward to that first bath without a bin liner fastened on my leg ![]() so... keeping it on topic ![]() Over the last 12 months the snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere has trended just over 2/3 Million square kilometres above the 1981-2010 average https://climate.rutgers.edu/snowcover/table_rankings.php?ui_set=1#namgnld Little Mermaid did you see what I did there ![]() Thank you for caring from the other side of the North Sea/Nordsøen ![]() Dave ![]() |

![]() How does it feel to - so to speak - stand on your own legs after such a long period? Are you in pain? Still, the thing doesn't allow you to wear 'normal' clothes yet, does it? I can sympatise with you about the bath/shower from just one week fitted with compression bandage for a swollen leg. And that was just lousy seven days or so. Please let us know how it goes - I wish you will get cleared? ![]() ON topic No, I didn't see what you did with the statistics. Please enlighten me. However, I do respect this page showing us that there is not much gained as far as mass and height are concerned on Greenland. ![]() I cannot get over the fact that you two prime combattants of this thread broke a total of three legs in less than six weeks panning out to half a leg per week ![]() |

![]() Just got home Little Mermaid from the op to take off my Ilizarov Frame and I have taken off the amazing moon boot splint thingy they have given me and unwrapped the leg and... It's GREAT ![]() I can walk on my own 2 bare legs for the first time in 20 weeks and 2 days ![]() No pain - Just very nervous at the moment - I will soon gain confidence. Just walking on it very gingerly. Back to see the Man with the Spanners™ (although he won't need them) at the end of the Month. So, time + Gavriil Ilizarov's absurd idea of punching metal pins through your bones ...works amazingly Gerald how are you getting on? ![]() |
