NASA Study Shows Net Gains For Antarctic Ice (google.com)
A widely circulated NASA study published in the Journal of Glaciology, and reported by UPI, says that Antarctic ice has measurably thickened in recent decades, a conclusion at odds with earlier findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, "which in 2013 suggested gains were not keeping up with losses." The new study ... doesn't totally undermine the handful of studies showing significant glacier, ice sheet and sea ice shrinkage. Instead, if offers evidence of previously unaccounted gains. ... The new tallies reveal an annual net gain of 112 billion tons between 1992 and 2001. Annual gains of 82 billion tons were observed between 2003 and 2008.
Who funded it? Where did these people work before NASA? They need to be investigated.

inconvenient truth.
Yeaaaaahh!
Listen dick cheese. It's a simple question that even a simple mind like yours should be able to digest. The idea is that the earth has had climate change since there has been an earth. The temps go up and down and who is to say what is normal. We know what we like and that's about it. Yes, the climate is warming. No shit, sherlock, I can read a thermometer. Ice is melting and you know what, things change. One day one of those super volcanoes we read about is gonna blow and then things will get ugly. I'm all for some common sense ideas about how to keep from running the carbon footprint over the edge but this incessant carping about climate change is beyond that. Instead of common sense we get fucking shit-for-brains asswipes such as yourself foaming at the mouth.
