Scientists say the extent of Antarctic sea ice cover is at its highest level since records began
Scientists say the extent of Antarctic sea ice cover is at its highest level since records began.
Satellite imagery reveals an area of about 20 million square kilometres covered by sea ice around the Antarctic continent.
Jan Lieser from the Antarctic Climate and Ecosystems Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) said the discovery was made two days ago.
“This is an area covered by sea ice which we’ve never seen from space before,” he said.
“Thirty-five years ago the first satellites went up which were reliably telling us what area, two dimensional area, of sea ice was covered and we’ve never seen that before, that much area.

The last 35 years represent only a nanosecond compared to the billions f years the earth has been here. Therefore, this is "proof" of absolutely nothing!
How about the pics a few years ago when global warming was just invented (by the same guy who invented the internet, mind you) showing the polar bear standing on a tiny piece of floating sea ice? Back then, it was "proof" of the shrinking size of the northern sea ice pack; you know, the one that made the sea level rise in the Chesapeake bay. (and nowhere else)
These wackos never fail to amuse me!
ditto!
No wonder why that "thing" that Google Earth revealed couldn't burn itself out of the ice.
