Ice as a measure of water can't be accurately recorded by satellite imagery. Undersea ice (the VAST majority) would need to measured, weighed and compared to ever get anything close to an accurate reading. Which is pretty much *impossible*.
Not only are the ice measurements *completely* wrong and misleading, but so are the sea levels. NASA has an embarrassingly amateur page up on the web:
"http://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/sea-level
On this "vital signs" (lol) page they claim "satellite data" shows the seas are up "precisely" 3.22mm! Well, our satellites can bounce a signal off of a spot in the ocean and measure the distance, but to acquire that "3.22 mm rise" measurement you would need to:
A) simultaneously bounce that signal off of all water surfaces at one moment to achieve a starting average.
B) measure all under sea ice - which contracts when it melts and expands as it freezes
C) measure and account for all wave motions which the satellite can't do.
And MUCH MORE.
The NASA number is SO full of shit - just like all man made global warming/climate change science and hype. And anyone with half a brain should be able to figure it out.
NASA is now a political agency and they are FORCED to put up that garbage to enable politicians policies.
Sadly, even 1/2 a brain is now a 1 in a million long shot in Earth's present population and so the politicians and their corporate sponsors can push forward bogus science, to enact treaties and deals which move factories from the US, UK or Germany to China, India, Vietnam or Zimbabwe. California now deals with more pollution from China than created in their state - worse - because the pollution contains chemicals that wouldn't have been produced if the factories were regulated in the US!
"Climate Change" is a sham for suckers to save money overseas by western companies and foreign nations to BYPASS pollution controls, SAVE money and employ more government employees to manage and regulate. And professional liars in the universities are paid some of that corporate money to line their pockets.
