On April 4th here at Magic City, I published a 'tongue in cheek' article entitled Research Proves Global Warming in which I was throwing off at scientific research.
Today however in 'The Australian Online' I came across an article entitled: Revealed: Antarctic ice growing, not shrinking written by Greg Roberts which reports the following:
- ICE is expanding in much of Antarctica, contrary to the widespread public belief that global warming is melting the continental ice cap.
- Antarctica has 90 per cent of the Earth's ice and 80 per cent of its fresh water. Extensive melting of Antarctic ice sheets would be required to raise sea levels substantially, and ice is melting in parts of west Antarctica. The destabilisation of the Wilkins ice shelf generated international headlines this month.
- However, the picture is very different in east Antarctica, which includes the territory claimed by Australia.
- East Antarctica is four times the size of west Antarctica and parts of it are cooling.
You can make up your own mind about what is true and what is not true, but I would direct you back again to Tom DeWeese's The Myth of Global Warming
