WASHINGTON (AP) - New NASA satellite measurements show that sea ice in the Arctic is more than just shrinking in area, it is
dramatically thinning.

The volume of older crucial sea ice in the Arctic has shrunk by 57 percent from the winter of 2004 to 2008. That's losing more volume of ice than water in Lake Michigan.

NASA scientist Jay Zwally said global warming is to blame. He said rapidly shrinking sea ice in the Arctic warms the rest of the globe indirectly. Older ice is more important in the Arctic because it is thicker, surviving the heat of summer and building over time.

Temps fluctuations of less than one degree is nothing to worry about.If you look at the data available.I remember in the seventies it was going to be another ice age. All those profitting from the scam need to be prosecuted for fraud.The earth has been here before and without a doubt we will have an ice-age.

oh no the day after tomorrow is coming true. lol.

It was my understanding that the amount of sea ice at the begining of 2009 was equivelent to that amount at the begining of 1979 (when we really started gathering data on sea ice).  Sure there will be fluctautionsup and down from season to season and year over year.  I don’t see what the big fuss is about.  Infact I think we gained ice last year.  I havn’t done much research but it seems that this issue is being blown way out of proportion.

*shrug* I’m not talking about global warming, I’m talking about pollution and other aspects of ruining our planet.

Pacific Ocean Garbage Vortex?
KxVicious??? Have you been taking pics of Nazi Pelosi surfing again? If all this ice has melted why has sea levels not risen? OMG!!!! Space aliens are stealing our ice. There is an inter galactic kegger going on and we are footing the ice!

Have you guys seen the great Pacific Ocean Garbage Vortex? I don’t understand how you think we can rape the earth without consequences?

Everyone should watch http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-521537373096312859 I know the video quality leaves alot to be desired, but the message is very important.

If you believe my last post, I may really have some ocean front property in Arizona one day.

It’s not real, there has never been a man on the moon and the earth is flat.

I can’t say anything nice about these comments. You can’t believe satellite photos, can you? I bet THEY are photoshopping them to scare us all into a frenzy. Yet, since it won’t happen in your lifetime, you just don’t care. Drill baby Drill!
