Transmission Towers Buried in Ice Sheet
Construction Crane Buried in Ice Sheet
These two photos, taken in the late 1980s, show that the Antarctic Ice Sheet is growing thicker.
* In the mid 1960s, ITT built a power transmission line in Antarctica. The transmission towers stood 115 feet tall.
* As you can see in these photos, all but the top 30 feet of the towers are now buried in ice.
* And the crane used to build the towers will soon be totally covered by ice.
* Not only are the power transmission towers being buried, so are the Antarctic research stations themselves.
* The old Byrd Station has been shut down because it is buried beneath 40 to 50 feet of ice and snow and is slowly being crushed.
* The old South Pole station is also buried beneath the ice.
* So is the old Siple station.
* The current South Pole station is also slowly being buried. A new station is now being built on top of the ice to replace it.

The Antarctic Ice Sheet covers five million square miles. The Greenland Ice Sheet covers another 700,000 square miles. Combined, they're twice as big as the contiguous United States. Combined, they're 100 times bigger than all the rest of the world's glaciers put together.
*
Glaciers are growing in other areas, too. Some glaciers on Canada's Baffin Island are as large or larger than at any time during the past 33,000 years; perhaps the past 60,000 years.

In fact, glaciers are growing around the world.

The next ice age has begun . . . and we don't even know it.

Thank goodness for the internet. In earlier years they could jerk us off and we wouldn't know any better, so would have to believe them and go along with their economy-destroying recommendations. Nowadays on the other hand ... they must really hate the internet and their lack of control over it.
The EU, however, is getting to grips with the job of bringing it under their control. Some of us really are going to have to go to jail for dissenting ... I expect that to happen to me one day. I hope you will all be making a hell of a din in support of me when it happens. My free phone call will not be to a lawyer - it will be to Charles.
