Bad Data
Antarctic: heat wave!
Apparently it's only "bad data" when it doesn't fit one's narrative.
that antarctic graph might explain this story:
ReplyDeleteLarge ice shelf thought to be stable in East Antarctica collapses - A massive ice shelf in eastern Antartica collapsed, scientists said on Friday, marking the first time an ice shelf has done so in the region.The 460-square mile wide ice shelf, which was roughly the size of New York City and helped keep the Conger and Glenzer glaciers from warmer water, collapsed between March 14 and March 16, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute ice scientist Catherine Walker told The Associated Press.University of Minnesota ice scientist Peter Neff said the collapse was worrying because eastern Antartica holds five times more ice than western Antartica, and if the whole region were to melt, it could raise sea levels across the globe more than 160 feet, according to the AP.Scientists had long thought that the area had not been impacted heavily by climate change and was stable, according to the wire service, but Neff said the collapse of the ice shelf brought that belief into question.
Thank you. I guess the Obamas buying that beachfront property was a bigger risk than we imagined.
