Scripps: Antarctic Ice Shelf Collapse Possibly Triggered by Ocean Waves

WUWT readers may remember this article: Watch the Wilkins ice shelf collapse in time lapse animation – looks like ‘current’ events to me where mechanisms other than melt were discussed. It…

NASA Still Spreading Antarctic Worries

Steven Goddard looks at trends in Antarctica and compares to NASA’s recent article. A January 12, 2010 Earth Observatory article warns that Antarctica “has been losing more than a hundred…

Antarctic sea water shows 'no sign' of warming

From the Australian: SEA water under an East Antarctic ice shelf showed no sign of higher temperatures despite fears of a thaw linked to global warming that could bring higher…

Frigid Folly: UHI, siting issues, and adjustments in Antarctic GHCN data

Antarctica – warming, ice melting – not yet

I thought it might be time for an update on this. Earlier this year we had the big news that even though everything else says otherwise, the statistical wizards of…

Research claim: dropping CO2 caused formation of Antarctic ice cap

Meanwhile today while CO2 is increasing, the Antarctic ice cap is also increasing. Bill Illis writes about it: Ice sheets formed in Antarctica about 35 million years ago when CO2…
