Our observations show that Antarctic ice shelves gained 661 Gt of ice mass over the past decade, whereas the steady-state approach would estimate substantial ice loss over the same period, demonstrating…

Sea Ice Can Control Antarctic Ice Sheet Stability, New Research Finds
Peer-Reviewed Publication UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE Despite the rapid melting of ice in many parts of Antarctica during the second half of the 20th century, researchers have found that the floating ice…
Body Of Evidence: All Of Antarctica Is Cooling… Peninsula Cooling Since Long Before Greta Was Born
The cooling since the 1990s hadn’t fully taken over the warming from 1979-1999 yet, so that’s why the overall trend is still a slight, statistically insignificant warming when referencing the…
Antarctica wasn’t quite as cold during the last ice age as previously thought
An international team of scientists, led by Oregon State University’s Christo Buizert, has found that while parts of Antarctica were as cold as 10 degrees below current temperatures, temperatures over…
Claim: Antarctic Peninsula warming up due to heat in Tasman sea
Heating of the Tasman sea warms up the climate of Antarctic Peninsula via changes in wind patterns, new study by Japanese and Australian scientists shows RESEARCH ORGANIZATION OF INFORMATION AND…
New ice core record shows climate variability in West Antarctica
Similar warming and cooling trends occurred in the mid-nineteenth and eighteenth centuries From AGU highlights: A 308-year ice core record provides new data on climate variability in coastal West Antarctica…
Study: warming of Antarctic peninsula due to ocean and atmospheric circulation patterns
From the University of Washington, something we covered earlier in WUWT from the BAS, but UW is now just getting around to press releases. The Antarctic peninsula is essentially a…
Recent climate, glacier changes in Antarctica at the 'upper bound' of normal
From the University of Washington some walkback? In the last few decades, glaciers at the edge of the icy continent of Antarctica have been thinning, and research has shown the…
Evidence for a Global Medieval Warm Period
From CO2Science: Medieval Warm Period (Antarctica) — Summary Was there a Medieval Warm Period somewhere in the world in addition to the area surrounding the North Atlantic Ocean, where its…
Antarctic summer effect confined to peninsula
From the British Antarctic Survey , at least they didn’t pull a Steig and try to claim the observed effect on the Peninsula affects the entire continent. The peninsula is…
New study: Ocean-driven warming along the western Antarctic Peninsula needs to be considered as part of a natural centennial timescale cycle of climate variability
From Cardiff University: Tiny fossils hold answers to big questions on climate change Research explores 12,000 year fossil record The western Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest warming regions…
How GISS creates long term Antarctic warming
From Tallblokes Talkshop, note what happens before 1958. HOW GISS MANUFACTURES WARMING (LOTS OF IT) IN THE ANTARCTIC by Roger Andrews The close match between GISS and me after 1955…
RC's Dr. Eric Steig boreholes himself on Antarctica
This is something that needs wider circulation, hence its appearance here. I’ve been mulling over how to best present this, and decided there’s nothing I could do in the way…
Antarctic peninsula was 1.3°C warmer than today 11,000 years ago
From the British Antarctic Survey New climate history adds to understanding of recent Antarctic Peninsula warming Results published this week by a team of polar scientists from Britain, Australia and…
Dear Woods Hole and NCAR, maybe you missed this trend in Antarctic sea ice?
More modeling madness projecting the future, but the actual data for the past 30 years says otherwise, with a positive trend. Regular commenter Julienne Stroeve of NSIDC is one of…
NASA: Warm Ocean Currents Cause Majority of Ice Loss from Antarctica
Breaking news from NASA and the ICEsat team, that’s their headline, not mine. This really makes all the hype over the now discredited Steig et al. paper, which attempted to…
More evidence the Medieval Warm Period was global
UPDATE: 3/30/12 Since a number of commenters that are getting bent out of shape over the issue can’t apparently be bothered to read the paper, and since the authors at…
Really? – Energy requirements make Antarctic fur seal pups vulnerable to climate change
From the University of Chicago Press Journals, a bizarre claim that less than 1C of warming globally in the last century, and essentially no change at all in Antarctica, will…
The Gore Effect kicks in, plus ça change …
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach … plus ça same old stuff. Thank goodness somethings never change. For example, the “Gore Effect”, which says that wherever His Nobelity Albert Gore III…
Paleopollen in Antarctica
Fossilized pollen reveals climate history of northern Antarctica Analysis of direct climate record shows Antarctic tundra persisted until 12 million years ago HOUSTON — (June 27, 2011) — A painstaking…
Steig on Antarctic warming: "Rossby wave trains"
From the University of Washington, comes this upcoming paper by corresponding author Dr. Eric Steig (and co-authors)that the mechanism for warming of the Antarctic Peninsula is mostly weather pattern driven.…
A viewpoint on the Antarctic warming debate
Antarctic temperature plots through the history of the debate: NASA 2004: NASA 2007: Steig et al 2009: O’Donnell et al 2010: Some historical perspective: “If your result needs a…
