Scott and Shackleton logbooks prove Antarctic sea ice is not shrinking 100 years after expeditions


Antarctic sea ice had barely changed from where it was 100 years ago, scientists have discovered, after poring over the logbooks of great polar explorers such as Robert Falcon Scott and Ernest Shackleton.

Experts were concerned that ice at the South Pole had declined significantly since the 1950s, which they feared was driven by man-made climate change.

But new analysis suggests that conditions are now virtually identical to when the Terra Nova and Endurance sailed to the continent in the early 1900s, indicating that declines are part of a natural cycle and not the result of global warming.

The REAL Inconvenient TRUTH - climate change is BS

Sea ice? Really?

Wow...big effing deal. Sea ice is a few feet thick and gets blown around by the wind. No one gives a sh!t about sea ice (except propaganda sites trying to convince the stupid and gullible that the volume of sea ice is important).

Glacial ice is the concern. Glacial ice thickness exceeds a mile.

Sea ice in the Antarctic is currently increasing[9]. This is associated with cooling sea surface temperatures in the Southern Ocean, in particular near the Ross Ice Shelf. Causes of this increasing Antarctic sea ice, which are contrasted with shrinking glaciers and ice shelves and warming deeper ocean current temperatures and atmospheric air temperatures, include changes to the Southern Annual Mode due to intensification and migration of the predominant Southern Ocean Westerlies, and cooler sea surface temperatures as a result of increased glacier and ice-shelf melting[9].
