This in the news today on BBC:
The ice sheet covering the interior of Antarctica is thickening, researchers report in the journal Science.
This bulge may temporarily buffer rising sea levels, they believe.
Antarctica’s “weight gain” is due to extra snowfall, caused by rising temperatures, the team thinks.
However, scientists worry the overall mass of the Antarctic may be decreasing because ice near the coasts is melting, possibly at a greater rate.
Is this a case of trying to “blame it all on global warming” even the possible evidence that there isn’t warming?!
