If the artic ice mass is increasing, why are mean high tides so  <well> high?

See, global warming is confirmed because the ice is thicker.  And arfcom is still racist.

Antartic, south pole. Ice is sitting on land.

I hope we have another ice age....just to prove those fuckers wrong.

umm...it wouldn't  

In fact this new ice is a DIRECT result of Obama's coal reduction policies!!

He has reversed the devastating course we were on... PRAISE OBAMA!!

You should have read the article, including OP

A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.

The research challenges the conclusions of other studies, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) 2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice.

According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008.

"We're essentially in agreement with other studies that show an increase in ice discharge in the Antarctic Peninsula and the Thwaites and Pine Island region of West Antarctica," said Jay Zwally, a glaciologist with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and lead author of the study, which was published on Oct. 30 in the Journal of Glaciology.

According to that article, it does.

They are saying that currently the growth exceeds the loss. However, the grown is reducing and the loss is increasing. So at current rates at some point the loss will exceed the growth.

I've always wanted to know, was there an industrial age the last time Florida, Bangladesh, the Polynesian islands, and any other low lying coastal region was under water? if not, what caused the inundation of these regions...........too many buffalo farts, too many dinosaur farts, just what caused the flooding?

I get the whole air quality thing, stuff like smog etc

But the earths temp being controlled by man to a degree it actually matters is laughable.

So what you're saying is green house gases are increasing ice growth and we need to ban oil to prevent another ice age?

What they are saying is that whether we are going into an ice age or a warming age, they are going to need all your money so they can sit around and figure out ways of taking more of your money.

No green house gases are decreasing the growth of breast on women, which is causing men to be more violent which in turn started the Arab Spring which turned out to be a bust but used up 87% of the fuel that the Muslims had saved to rule the World with, thus causing the Southern Hemi to go into a hyper-active cooling cycle.

And although the extent of the Arctic is lower than the past 34 years, it isn't nearly as bad as some would make it out to be. Our current yearly extent cycle is within 2 standard deviations of said 30 year cycle.

Many do you use the word "bad" when describing natural variations in sea ice?

It is what it is.

Coal causes the ice to melt, which causes the oceans to cool.  That then causes more ice to form.  It's a vicious cycle.  You guys just don't understand.

Global warming is so dangerous , it's causing enough snow to replace the melting glaciers?

Holy shit, that's a lot of snow.
