The whole thread disappears after three seconds in Chrome. I had to open IE to rad it.

The vast majority of Antarctica never gets anywhere close to the melting point of water, and in fact averages something like -70° C over the course of a year. This then is the max temp of the kilometers thick ice in those locations. The amount of thermal energy needed to bring the ice even to the melting point is far higher than the annual energy received there. IOW, heat is conducted away from the surface into the ice faster than the Sun, when it is even shining, can deliver it.
It is so cold there is close to zero sublimation.
So the only possible way for Antarctica to lose ice from the interior is by sheet flow of the continental glacier to the coasts.

Nick should note that some can change their minds.

Nick is too busy deciding what others should think to bother with thinking himself.

Is there a law that requires these cut and paste tweets to be repetitive?

Nick Stokes says at 10:26
“I’m sceptical that the anonymous An0maly really did undergo the conversion that he claims, but he has picked up a weak collection of tired old talking points” . . .

. . . repeated them along with colorful images . . . repeated them along with colorful images
Want me to do that repeat thing again? Thought not. The post ought to be retracted.

I used to be a Warmist all the way back in the late 80’s, since I was always an environmentalist. Even wrote a paper on public policy related to climate change from ocean pollution in grad school. Then, in the early 2000’s, I was able to learn a few things. First, the Internet allowed me to see so much more Non-Approve Wrongthink from the Skeptic side.

2nd, Michael Crichton’s State of Fear. Sure, it’s fiction, but, it has tons of actual science. Plus, I was already sketchy on so many enviro groups.

3rd, I really noticed the rank hypocrisy of the leading Warmists

And, finally, I noticed that the goals of the Cult of Climastrology matched perfectly with the hard left. More taxation and fees, government controlling our lives, etc.

Anonym0ous, welcome to the skeptical revolution.
You gave some great points.
Be prepared for personal attacks, efforts to fix and then threaten you into silence.
Stand strong against the climate thugs.
Skeptics are by definition independent thinkers who look at each issue and claim as something to be investigated. Be prepared to explain yourself.
Being a skeptic means understanding the claims made by the consensus..
Unlike reactionary true believers, skeptics have to be open to learning and changing their minds based on evidence. Beware that Twitter, like all big tech, is treacherous and supports left wing crap and will suppress and censor you even as they make money off of you. The fight is worth it.
Best wishes for great success.

It is like the lottery when it is a billion dollars…the only people with no chance of winning are the ones who do not play.
