NASA released a study today that shows that the amount of ice in the Antarctic is growing and has been growing at all times during the last twenty years. Indeed, according to NASA, the amount of ice at the south pole has been growing since the end of the last ice age about twelve thousand years ago.
It's important to understand what this means. As NASA points out, the ice buildup in the Antarctic is LOWERING the sea level around the world. The change each year is tiny, but it is exactly the opposite of the effect that all the global warming hysterics have been telling us about for the last two decades. There are some areas in the western part of Antarctica that are losing ice, but the increase in ice on the rest of the continent far outweighs those losses.
Couple the increasing ice at the south pole with the surge in ice that has been observed in the Arctic, and we have conditions exactly opposite from those predicted by the global warming models. The true believers in global warming tell us over and over that it is settled science that they are right. Now we have NASA saying that it just ain't so.
Does anyone expect president Obama to announce a halt to all his plans to fight global warming? I sure don't. Obama is not one to get caught up in reality. He prefers a good liberal delusion to actual facts.
