Arctic sea ice has been consistently shrinking since at least 1980. So have the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets. The East Antarctic ice sheet has by contrast been constantly growing since records began, which is probably where you got your factoid from. But this is due to local phenomena, such as the Antarctic ozone hole, increasing westerly wind strength and increasing snowfall. East Antarctica is one of the few regions which seems to have escaped the effects of climate change (so far).

There's almost no doubt that the world is warming overall due to human activity. The fossil fuel industry doesn't like this, so they put out propaganda to counter facts. Do your own research :).

IKR? If only we had some way of capturing photographic evidence from satellites and aerial photography that would let us map the advance and retreat of glaciers around the world. That would be really useful technology in ensuring that facts could be used when discussing this important issue.

Oh well, I guess it's too technical to ask for such things after all. Maybe Elon Musk can do something about it in the next decade.

Thanks for the laugh! The idiocy you've put on display here is just chef's kiss

Consecutive hottest years on record
Increases in wildfires and hurricanes
Accelerating sea level rise
Persistent droughts

But it's 'doomsday bullshit' because checks notes some ice in Antarctica got thicker. Got it.

I don't even see how it's doomsday stuff, we just gotta live better. Lower meat consumption, more renewable energy, less car-focused living, more sustainable construction and consumption. It's entirely within our ability to prevent the worst case outcomes. It's only giving up and pretending we have no power that would make it a 'doomsday' scenario.

Where's the /s? I don't know what to do with this comment.. Haalp

Wow I really thought this was /s

Get a life, troll

Lol

Wowee just clicked on your profile for a quick check and someone took a wrong turn on their way to gab. Yikes.
