Jagged mountains the size of the Alps have been found entombed in Antarctica's ice, giving new clues about the vast ice sheet that will raise world sea levels if even a fraction of it melts, scientists said on Tuesday.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but if the mass of Antarctica is more land than ice, doesn't that mean the mass of ice is less than previously thought?

the vast ice sheet that will raise world sea levels if even a fraction of it melts,

They announce the discovery of less ice, and use that discovery to panic people about melting ice?

Grr. (not you.)

Yeah, weird, ain’t it? One might even say, unscientific. Or bunkum. Or hokum.
