 Arctic ice depleted by half in 6 years of 'drastic thinningEnvironmental | 206714 hits | Aug 05 12:06 pm | Posted by: Hyack  A new seven-year study of the Arctic's shrinking sea ice - which is headed for another above-average melt this summer - concludes that the polar cap is not only losing vast swathes of surface area but also experiencing a "drastic thinning"Commentsview comments in forum Page 1 2 You need to be a member of CKA and be logged into the site, to comment on news. |

I see he's still beaking off and getting grants,he should get a real job.
Vancouver newspaper, German ship, someone from a University. Proves climate change is all BS...
Says herbie, the nobody from nowhere
Christian Haas is an idiot.
I see he's still beaking off and getting grants,he should get a real job.
And what are you? A brain surgeon?
No, you dig in the dirt for a living.
yup that's all the proof right there....since the earth is 17 years old
Excerpt from the August 1 National Post Article
Thinning sea ice concerns scientists
Excerpt from August 6 Montreal gazette article:
The study, headed by University of Alberta ice expert Christian Haas, found reductions of ice thickness in the central Arctic Ocean of up 50 per cent between 2001 and 2007, as well as widespread replacement of heavier, older ice near the North Pole with weaker first-year ice.
'Land that never melts' is melting: Erosion probed in Nunavut park
Excerpt from this August 6 CBC article:
No mention of AGW in the last one, but I found it indicative that an area that means"land that never melts" is melting!
Christian Haas is an idiot.
I see he's still beaking off and getting grants,he should get a real job.
And what are you? A brain surgeon?
No, you dig in the dirt for a living.
No I dont,I tell others where to dig or not to and how to reclaim it.
I have also been there and lived there so I like to point out some of the bullshit i see posted here.
Christian haas gets grants and i posted a topic about it a year ago when the whole arctic warming polar bears drowning thing was hitting a high note with folks like you who feel they have to point out every media article that trys to put the climate crisis on the blame of people who dont agree with you.
So Im not a brain surgeon and there isnt any in the arctic anyways so you dont see me commenting on brain surgery do you?
I stick to shit I know about and maybe you should to.
and a new word was created when nunavut became a territory.
You have to understand that inuktitut language is very fluid.
Words are added to words to make a sentence,there is no set rule for their language and thats why a community 50 miles away will have a different dialect and it will take 4 days for a native to figure out what his nieghbours are trying to say without hand signs.
Christian Haas is an idiot.

Ziggy is (1) a smart guy, (2) tends to tell it like it is, and (3) lives in the area under discussion, so I attach a lot to what he has to say.
I better brush up on my french because incoming pilots mostly dont speak the english.
Makes for some interesting days. planes coming in when their not supposed to.
I stick to shit I know about and maybe you should to.
And telling people where to dig qualifies you as a climate scientist?

Oh, fuck me!
Right, because he is 1), 2) & 3) he's qualified to call a climate scientist an idiot? He can refute the scientific data about sea ice 'cause he lives there? I'm sure he tends to tell it like it is - for him. We all do that.
Is your claim of Ziggy's intelligence enhanced by this witless criticism of a 7 year scientific study?
No, not much intelligence there.

Nevertheless, Ziggy's criticism (Haas is an idiot) is quite telling. Does this make him a 'smart guy'. Where's your proof that Haas is an idiot?
I googled Christian Haas polar bears drowning and found no quotes from Haas. Perhaps you have a link to the story, as you claim.
I did find this, though, about polar bears drowning:
from the Wall Street Journal - I guess they're idiots, too.
He said that the bears had apparently been stranded at sea by melting ice. The bears generally live around the fringes of the ice where they find it easiest to hunt seals.
No mention of Haas anywhere!
What I did find, is ONE study, in which the scientists say that it is LIKELY that in that particular situation, the polar bears drowned. Others may have misquoted or exaggerated that statement.
Ziggy's contribution to the debate is a stinking little turd - nothing more.
"Data gathered at ice level from as early as 1991 was also used to chart the longer-term decline of ice thickness, which the researchers say raises the possibility that "the Arctic sea ice cover has transitioned into a different climatic state where completely ice-free summers would soon become normal."
yup that's all the proof right there....since the earth is 17 years old
Idiot!
The quote that YOU yourself provided says, "... raises the possibility... "
And then YOU make your sarcastic remark about proof.
The only ones claiming PROOF about global warming exists are THE DENIERS!!!
By the way, excellent rebuttal of the study! Gosh, why haven't they given you a Ph.D.???
It boggles the mind

Maybe. I'm just saying he spends a lot of his time up there, whereas I don't. And I always found him to be a straight shooter so I listen. But on reconsideration, you're right--he's as dumb as a pile of rocks.
