Most sea ice EVER in Antarctica – Experts blame global warming

http://iceagenow.info/2012/10/sea-ice-antarctica-experts-blame-global-warming/ Most sea ice EVER in Antarctica – Experts blame global warming By Robert On October 11, 2012 · 10 Comments How stupid do they think we are? I wonder, are these the same experts who tried to tell us that the record low amount of ice in the Arctic this summer was due to global warming? “Antarctic sea ice hit a record 7.51 million square miles in September,” says this breathless article by Seth Borenstein. “That spreading ice may be a cockeyed signal of man-made climate change.” “Shifts in wind patterns and the giant ozone hole over the Antarctic this time of year — both related to human activity — are probably behind the increase in ice, experts say. “A warming world can have complex and sometimes surprising consequences,” sais researcher Ted Maksym with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. “It sounds counterintuitive, but the Antarctic is part of the warming as well,” says Ted Scambos of the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Colorado. “What’s happening in Antarctica bears the fingerprints of man-made climate change,” says David Vaughan of the British Antarctic Survey. I’’ll let you read the rest of the article for yourself, because I can’t bear to quote any more of this tripe. But I hope we remember the names of these “experts” as we descend into the coming ice age. Sort of like remembering David Viner, who told us that snowfall was supposed to be a thing of the past. “According to Dr Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” said Viner. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that University of Colorado researcher Katherine Leonard insists that the Antarctic is also getting snowier because climate change has allowed the air to carry more moisture. Let’s remember Katherine as well. I wonder, are these the same experts who tried to tell us that the record low amount of ice in the Arctic this summer was due to global warming … who now insist that a record high amount of ice in the southern hemisphere – in the Antarctic – is also caused by global warming? See entire article: http://news.yahoo.com/experts-global-warming-means-more-antarctic-ice-194009890.html Thanks to Alex Thompson and Hillbilly warlord for this linki “This is sheer hypocrisy,” says Hillbilly warlord. “The Religion of Global Warming is like all religion, it has it BOTH ways. This way you can’t refute the “faith,” anyone who disagrees is a “heretic,” and anyone who presents evidence contrary to the “faith,” is demonized, vilified and ostracized. Saying that there will be ~more~ Antarctic Ice due to Global Warming is outright ludcrous, contradictory, hypocritical, and they are grasping at straws to make excuses for “damage control.” “I read this gem this morning,” says Alex. “A few things: They quickly dismissed the antarctic ice stating it had to do with local and temporal weather phenomenon while not saying that could be a possibility in the arctic. “They made it seem that antarctic ice increase is a new phenomenon, not something that has been steadily increasing for several decades. “They not only dismiss evidence that is inconvenient, they twist it to fit their false reality. It is quite perverse and I find it strange that more people can’t tell that this is “Nothing to see here, move along” propaganda. “Keep up the good work!”

News. Stark US Warning Over Risk Of Cyber Attacks

This is a pre-9/11 moment." http://uk.news.yahoo.com/stark-us-warning-over-risk-cyber-attacks-105402944.html;_ylt=ArjwUZrN_tQiVgcxDpKoE1XOfMl_;_ylu=X3oDMTRnNHA5amE1BG1pdAN3b3JsZCBzZWN0aW9uIG1peGVkIGxpc3QEcGtnA2I4OGIwNWRjLThiZGUtMzEwNi04MGFmLWU2OGRhM2EzNGVhMARwb3MDMQRzZWMDTWVkaWFCTGlzdE1peGVkTFBDQVRlbXAEdmVyA2UyNjdmZGMzLTE0NjMtMTFlMi1hZmI2LTgzMjBlNmE1YjI5MQ--;_ylg=X3oDMTFqaTU3a3RoBGludGwDZ2IEbGFuZwNlbi1nYgRwc3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdAN3b3JsZARwdANzZWN0aW9ucw--;_ylv=3 Stark US Warning Over Risk Of Cyber Attacks Cyber attacks on energy companies in the Persian Gulf raise fears of further assaults that could cause panic and destruction, the US has warned. Sky NewsSky News – 34 minutes ago Cyber attacks on energy companies in the Persian Gulf raise fears of further assaults that could cause panic and destruction, the US has warned. The attacks, which have been described as a "pre-9/11 moment", used a virus called Shamoon which can spread through computer networks and overwrite files. Saudi Arabia's state oil company, Aramco, had to replace 30,000 computers after crucial system files were replaced with an image of a burning US flag. The Qatari natural gas producer RasGas was also targeted. [Related: Watch Cybergeddon here] A former US official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation into the attacks is classified as secret, said the country believes Iranian hackers are to blame. The US Defence Secretary Leon Panetta publicly acknowledged the attacks for the first time, although he did not make a direct link to Iran. He said: "These attacks mark a significant escalation of the cyber threat. They have renewed concerns about still more destructive scenarios that could unfold. "We know of specific instances where intruders have successfully gained access to these control systems. "We also know they are seeking to create advanced tools to attack these systems and cause panic and destruction, and even the loss of life." The US is investing more than \$3bn a year in online security to guard against cyber attacks. Authorities have repeatedly warned that foreign hackers are probing critical computer networks, including those that control power plants, transportation systems and financial networks. Mr Panetta said: "Our mission is to defend the nation. We defend. We deter. If called upon, we take decisive action to protect our citizens. "Before September 11, the warning signs were there. We weren't organized. We weren't ready and we suffered terribly for that lack of attention. "We cannot let that happen again. This is a pre-9/11 moment."
