This should throw a little cold water (pun intended) on the global warming hoax. It will be most interesting to watch the Climate Changers spin this paragraph...
"A paper to be published soon by the British Antarctic Survey in the journal Geophysical Research Letters is expected to confirm that over the past 30 years, the area of sea ice around the continent has expanded."

If more ice is forming in the world than is melting then the seas will start to drop and that will show global warming has stopped.
But the sea ice around the shelf is just one part of it. Its the total for the globe that counts.

As a continent, Antarctica has the highest average elevation, over SEVEN THOUSAND FEET.
And like a mile of that is ice.
From all the reports I’ve heard, all the benchmarks (poles sunk into the ice) used to measure depth have shown it is increasing. Just like the pic of the crane.

Ice ages are cold, dry and barren. Inter-glacials are warm wet and abundant.
Bottom line, we’d all be better off if the ice did melt.
