What's happening with polar ice?

Posted at: 2015-03-12 
According to the US Navy the artic ice is thinning from below. Today it's 1/3 thinner then it was in 1958 when the first nuclear submarine surfaced through the ice. Both the US and the Russian navies have kept track of this for over fifty years noting that the rate of ice field decay is extensive and rapid. Satellite measurement since the 1980's has confirmed this direct observation. I'm not sure how any denier can show any contrary observed data as significant as this. The artic ice pack does seem to be breaking up in ways not associated with surface melting. I'm sure that this information can be accessed.

Unfortunately we don't have much information, not all our glaciers are measured, we do know some are decreasing, some are increasing, and probably there is a majority minor decrease as would be expected, coming out of the little ice age.

There are other factors with glacial loss, we now know the reduction in Kilimanjaro ice is mainly due to deforestation on the lower slopes and even that has stabilized, the Himilayas is another area that has been effected by land use.

Interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing if any more Viking settlements are found after more of it melts.

its growing ,it melted on Mars also ,I don't think a cow farting in Ohio had anything to do with Mars , but this has stopped 10 years ago

a lot

There was a comment about sea ice extent.

Clearly there was a "low" a couple years ago, that hasn't been reached since.

But what about ice on land?

What's happening with that?
