For years, climate alarmists have been pointing at the glaciers of Antarctica and making dire warnings at how fast they are shrinking. They blame warmer ocean temps and make predictions of global ocean levels rising 200 feet if all the ice on the frozen continent were to melt.
But it may not be as simple as that. Advanced satellite observations have shown that the ice sheets of Antarctica are retreating at different paces. Though only about 3 percent of Eastern ice sheets appears to be retreating, about a quarter of the Western glaciers have shown signs of shrinkage.
A study of the ice cores taken from Antarctica provide a much longer view of the accumulation of snow (which compresses into ice over time). Researcher’s studying the cores have concluded that snowfalls at the bottom of the world have actually increased in recent years. More
Not to sound too complacent here, but is it possible there is some kind of cycle here that rebuilds the Antarctic glaciers over time, like some kind of global ice making machine?
When everybody hung their clothes out on the clothesline to dry we added that humidity to the air thereby increasing rain and snowfall worldwide.
Now we use driers, the humidity vanishes and the heat from the driers causes global warming.
We need to mandate clotheslines!

OK, next question?
I hope it works better than the one at my grocery store. That sucker’s always out of ice.
Well, Algore sure does. Everywhere on earth he goes to fight global warming gets hit with a blizzard.
I have more faith in Puxatawny Phil than these buttwipe “climate scientists”.
Cubs Home opener vs the Pirates ….Snowed out….
Looking at one glacier and ignoring ten others while working to arrive at a predetermined outcome is not science.
It’s high School.
It is the epitome of liberal thought both that humankind is destroying the earth and that their strategies are certain to help it.
Maybe they should stop drilling holes in the ice if they want to reduce the melting of the glaciers. I wonder how many fractures they cause, each time they drill a hole. Later the glacier breaks and they blame global warming
