Debunking Global Warming Misconceptions Part IV -- Polar Ice Caps Volumes Actually Increasing

Myth: Ice in Antarctica and Greenland are melting at an unprecedented rate... and Arctic Sea Ice continues to decline....

First, the Arctic Sea Ice has regained 50% of the average ice volume it lost during its record ice loss year. The Antarctic Ice Sheet set records two years in a row. It's currently set to match those previous two years.

Most people, biased towards global warming, zero in on the part of Antarctica that is melting. That melt is caused by an active volcano underneath that ice. That ice sheet, containing the volcano, is a small percent of the total ice sheet. The ice sheet on the rest of the continent is increasing in volume.

This contributed to the record sea ice increases surrounding Antarctica.

Second, the Arctic Ice Sheet will melt as we progress from winter, through spring, to summer. This melt stops sometime in the fall. This is when the ice sheet grows back. This also happens in the Antarctic.

Third, the Danish Meteorological Institute discovered that the Greenland Ice Sheet is actually growing. This growth has outpaced growth in the previous years. This is consistent with the performance of the ice volume from the rest of the world.

Myth: Climate realists just look at the past 3 to 5 years, they ignore the overall trend.

That's getting into semantics. Something happened in recent years that set the conditions for ice recovery on both poles. Obviously, there's a new baseline by which to measure both ice sheets. 

Second, some of our Antarctic stations have stilts. This has been the case since at least the last decade. One reason they have stilts is that the "ground" keeps "rising." This wouldn't be happening if the ice volume wasn't increasing. 

Third, longer trends indicate increasing ice volume.

Myth: The sun was brighter in the '30s. Since the '50s; however, it has been getting dimmer, but temperatures continue to rise...

Long-term global climate/weather matches solar activity. The sun was more active than normal in the 1930s and the 1990s. These happen to be the global warming heights of the last century.

Historically, declines in solar sunspot activities led to declines in average global temperatures. Absence of sunspots correspond to brutally cold conditions. As solar sunspot flaring activities increased, so did average global temperatures.

The sun's effect on the climate has been observed in nature. It has been replicated in the lab. A decrease in sunspot flaring activities is related to a decrease in solar winds. 

Solar winds are our "first line of defense" against cosmic rays. Our second line of defense is our magnetic field. As of the generation of this post, both solar wind and the Earth's magnetic field are weakening.

Cosmic rays facilitate droplet and cloud formation. This facilitates cooling trends and increased precipitation.

A satellite launched to study the sun, in the early 1990s, indicate a rapid decline in solar winds. This decline matches the decline in average global temperatures. The information that the satellite gained, from its orbit around the sun, has contributed to a new theory. 

It provides a better explanation of what could be happening in the sun, solar system, galaxy, and surrounding areas. In fact, it does a good job explaining the events happening throughout the universe.

This new theory better explains the sun's behavior, as well as its impact on our climate. It better explains the sun-to-climate relationship than the earth's inclination or the Milankovich Orbital Cycle. 

This is the electromagnetic sun theory. It also falls under the electromagnetic cosmos theory, or the electromagnetic universe theory.

This electromagnetic sun theory proposes that the sun operates electrically. This is both by itself, and in conjunction with the solar system, and neighboring stars. This theory posits that the sun is fed from an outside source. By extension, when this "outside source" stops feeding the sun, our star dims and runs on residual power.

This dimming makes it hard to sustain agriculture in temperate areas of the world. These are many of the same areas in the world that were covered by ice sheets during the mega Ice Age. 

It's becoming more and more evident that our star, not humans, is to "blame" for climate change. The sun drives short-term and long-term global weather.
