OMG! Algae "Thriving" in Antarctica as Continent Warms!!

Modern day propaganda is promulgated by countless media outlets repeating the same "study" or "story" over and over again without any critical analysis or input by these "mouthpieces." It's because, if you repeat something over and over it begins to have the appearance of truth.  That's the Modus Operandi of the The Left.  Usually it's the same story or article picked-up by countless "media" outlets.  If everyone is saying it, it must be true, right?

I've noticed an increase in hysterical and hyped stories of "record warm" temperatures in the Antarctic.  Recently, I saw tons of stories about Antarctica ice "melting."  I posted a blog on this topic.  Some idiot found some meltwater on top of some snow at the farthest reaches of the Antarctic Peninsula that is no longer in the Antarctic circle and closer to Argentina than the South Pole. In the past few days, I've seen a plethora of stories with "disturbing" news that green algae is "flourishing" on the continent!

Nature.com did a big (and useless) study to document algal blooms on a number of islands on the Antarctic Peninsula. Strangely they concluded that the algal blooms were found on "multi-year snow" in the "warm" summer season and that this new biomass might even be an important "carbon sink" to counteract global warming!  My God, these people are raging idiots.

CNN: Snow is turning green in Antarctica -- and climate change will make it worse!!

Strange that Nature.com feels this is somehow important or groundbreaking when it admits that:

"Ice-free ground makes up only around 0.18% of Antarctica’s continental area, and even in the Antarctic Peninsula, the most "vegetated" region of Antarctica, only 1.34% of this exposed ground is vegetated"

The figure on the left shows the area of "concern", ie., the Antarctic Peninsula which juts out into the South Atlanta and is so long that the tip of the peninsula is closer to Argentina than to the South Pole.

They go on to say that "a single snow algal bloom can cover hundreds of square metres! OMG! They've managed to spot 1679 "patches" in total along the coastal areas of these islands (in summer) and have noted that these blooms are often found where there are colonies of penguins. Imagine that, penguin poop is fertilizer!  Fascinating!

Allow me to let you in on the truth about Antarctic climate: It's well below freezing even in their summer and even on the Antarctic Peninsula.  From Wikipedia's "climate of Antarctic:"

The mean annual temperature of the interior is −70.6 °F. The coast is warmer; on the coast Antarctic average temperatures are around 14.0 °F along the sea coast and in the elevated inland ice sheet (the entire continent) they average about −67.0 °F in Vostok in SUMMER. 

Along the Antarctic Peninsula, has the "mildest" climates within the continent. Its temperatures are warmest in January, averaging 34 to 36 °F, and coldest in June, averages from 5 to −4 °F due to the maritime climate. Temperatures as high as 59 °F have been recorded, though the summer temperatures are below 32 °F most of the time

The Antarctic is not melting---anywhere!    And Greenland is not melting either!!   The Greenland ice sheet juts up 6,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level in the Arctic where temperatures are well below 0 °F.  The low elevation edges of Greenland have seasonal melting due to the arctic maritime climate.

But the real point here is that a ridiculously trivial article gets repeated a hundred-fold by warming-hungry media outlets populated by endless numbers of utter dipshits.  I searched "Antarctic green snow" on google and I came up with 17 pages of search results repeating the Nature.com story but often with "sinister" undertones:  :
