STUDY: Antarctic Sea Ice Loss Driven by ‘Natural Variability,’ Not Global Warming
24th June 2017
A series of strong storms late last year brought warm winds down to Antarctica that melted a South Carolina-sized chunk of sea ice every day, leading to the lowest sea ice coverage on record for the South Pole.
And it likely had nothing to do with man-made global warming, according a new study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
“There’s no indication this is anything but just natural variability,” John Turner, a climate scientist with the British Antarctic Survey, told the American Geophysical Union’s (AGU) blog Friday.
DENIER! THERE’S A CONSENSUS!

Short-term fluctuations do not change the underlying long-term trend, no matter how much you wish it did.

Except for the fact that the alleged ‘long-term trend’ is imaginary, made up from fudged data and dishonest distortions.
