Ice shelves stable over six years | The Australian

ANTARCTIC ice shelves are showing no sign of climate change, six years of unique research have shown.

Scientists from Western Australia's Curtin University of Technology are using acoustic sensors developed to support the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty to listen for the sound of icebergs breaking away from the giant ice sheets of the south pole.

"More than six years of observation has not revealed any significant climatic trends," CUT associate professor Alexander Gavrilov said yesterday.

World disaster toll faces new threat from global warming: Red Cross [promotes climate fraud]

Although not all the disasters were attributable to extreme weather, the Red Cross insisted that the trend of global-warming related events was rising.

The report likened the impact of global warming to rolling a dice: "We never know when a particular number will appear, but at some point every number comes up."

"Confronted with global warming and growing vulnerability, we also know the dice is loaded."

While losses and deaths had generally declined over the past three decades thanks to storms or tsunami alerts, or better forecasting, they were largely due to technological steps, the Red Cross said.
