Or it could happen that nothing will happen at all.

   One wonders were you have been and why would post about sea ice when
   the issue is land supported ice that affects sea level.

Obviously because both his response and link talk about Antarctic ice,
which IS land supported, spamming shit head.

   Not only is the jimp obsessed with name calling, but one also wonders
   if he is ignorant or just dumb. The status of the jimp is so fucking

OK shit head, explain how Antarctic land ice is melting while Antarctic
sea ice is expanding?

Do you need the geography of the Antarctic explained to you, shit head?

And while you are at it, explain what Antarctic weather conditions
have to do with physics, shit head.

I got a better idea, instead of continuing to cut and paste the same
crap over and over again, you could fuck off and die, spamming piece
of shit.

I've got an even BETTER IDEA you spamming piece of lying shit:  Let's 
look at the actual measured antarctic Ice extent instead of what "could" 
or "might" happen. I mean you "might" eat shit and die and we'd all have 
to hold a huge "spamming witch is dead" party.

Actual Antarctic ice measurements:

http://arctic.atmos.uiuc.edu/cryosphere/antarctic.sea.ice.interactive.html

Well, would you look at that Asshat!  Antarctic ice area actually 
setting records this year. No, not for ice loss, but for ICE GAINS!

Sam, Honesty is one of the most important things in science. So why are 
you still allowed teach?

Jimp is right. You really are a dishonest lying disgusting worthless 
piece of shit. (And I just proved it)

Sam is simply a lying propagandist. Truth is something he never does. He 
is pathetic and should have no place in science. Antarctic ice area is 
setting records for growth this year, so one has to wonder out of just 
which ass the sea level rise that "could" happen was pulled. One guess.

It is. Just because the sea ice AREA is increasing doesn't mean the mass/volume of ice is not decreasing. It surely is.

SciAm! Sure now THERE is a totally reliable source. NOT!

Truth is that Global warmers have so corrupted science that virtually NO 
climate data can be trusted anymore. Such is the pull of one trillion 
dollars a year.

Previous radar data showed exactly the opposite with increasing volume.
We presume the ice is melting fast because the ground underneath is 
heating up from the non-existent global warming, right?

The ice is sitting on land. SO you are saying the land is heating up the 
ice and melting it underneath?  Come on. More like the promise of big 
money is melting valid data.

Babble on.
