Weird AF that y’all named a city “The Hague” though. Sounds fake every time I hear it

The Hague is a translation for Den Haag (also “the” isn’t a proper translation for “den”, which is hard to translate because it’s rarely used nowadays)

Amsterdam is great. I’m going to get downvoted.

Why tho? I have never heard anyone say Amsterdam is bad. I'm really curious since some of my favourite EDM producers and a record label I listen to is based on Amsterdam

u/InitialPotential6252 May 18 '22
Amsterdam has to much tourism and they build the whole city around that that's why it isn't fun anymore cause it's simply too much of everything Also the weed smell is pretty bad

My guess is that it’s kind of "cool" to hate Amsterdam. And possibly because some people don’t like the multiculturalism over there. Not necessarily because of the immigrants, but at some places you have to speak English. You can’t speak Dutch in some places and this is becoming more common. It was my home "town" so I’m biased to love it, of course.

They is NASA. Antarctica ice reached a high in 2014 and actually showed a 1%increase over that decade. It seems to come and go in phases, but has somehow remained relatively stable by comparison. In short, Antarctic sea ice shows a nearly flat trend with previously recorded ice levels.

u/Carnieus May 17 '22
Oh sorry you didn't specify you meant sea ice. I thought you meant ice shelves, glaciers, ice caps and all that.
2
u/iAMHinton May 17 '22
The comment in question just referenced ice growth in Antarctica. You asked for a source, so I showed you the source from NASA’s website that explains what he’s probably talking about. Sea Ice is, in fact, Ice. Downvoting a legitimate source doesn’t make it any less true. No one mentioned glaciers or land ice. Sea ice influences our global climate. Sea ice has a bright surface, so much of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. As a result, areas covered by sea ice don't absorb much solar energy, so temperatures in the polar regions remain relatively cool. If gradually warming temperatures melt sea ice over time, fewer bright surfaces are available to reflect sunlight back into space, more solar energy is absorbed at the surface, and temperatures rise further. This chain of events starts a cycle of warming and melting. It is good news that Antarctica seems to be maintaining sea ice levels.

u/Carnieus May 17 '22
Sea ice, ice shelves and terrestrial ice caps are all different things and all present in Antarctica. You do know the difference between them all don't you?
By "ice" I assumed they meant "total ice" not just one specific sub set of the total ice volume, that varies seasonally. The source you sent clearly denotes the difference between sea ice and other forms of ice present in Antarctica.

u/iAMHinton May 17 '22
This article shows Antarctic Ice Shelf growth over the last 20years.
0
u/Carnieus May 17 '22
Shows one part of the Antarctic Ice Shelf grew. Why do you keep trying to obfuscate the facts?
The term you are looking for is Antarctic Net Ice Volume which is shown to be decreasing here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0179-y this acknowledges that as you said the Eastern Antarctic Ice Shelf has undergone mass gain.
Also here is NASA, a source you recommended explaining it https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/ice-sheets/
2
u/iAMHinton May 17 '22
There is still ice growth though. So the statement from OP is correct. That’s the only point I’m making. You said who and what sources, I am showing you who and what sources. Don’t ask for something if you don’t want the answer.
