On the rudeness issue, I was expanding this to non-climate science blogs too. It just seems "scientists", at least a large number of them, are far more rude now than they were just a couple decades ago.
Well, I was pretty sure all ice was fresh water - we were taught that in SERE, plus it didn't seem possible for it to be retained in a crystalline structure. So, then, during the freezing process in fall wouldn't there be far more salt water being frozen than fresh water, thus RAISING the salinity of the water around Antarctica's land mass if affecting it at all? Either way, now I know for sure ice around salt water is fresh and I can melt it (in the absence of fresh water) and drink it if need be - that's a cool thing to know.
Watched your rhino video, the one killing "black death". That's one ballsy buff, but definitely out of his weight class. LOL.
They're just following their training.
