Snowfall across the great white continent of Antarctica is increasing, according to a study released this week by an international team led by the British Antarctic Survey.
The team analyzed 79 ice cores from across Antarctica that provide detailed information on how much snow has fallen over hundreds of years, and it found a 10% increase in snowfall over the past two centuries.
This contradicts studies that found that Antarctic snowfall has remained largely constant over the past several decades to centuries. But those studies analyzed only a few ice cores, whereas this comprehensive look at the continent gives a much more thorough view of how weather patterns have changed the polar weather.
"The snowfall increase is driven by changing circulation patterns, drawing warm moist air from the mid-latitudes," said lead study author Liz Thomas, an ice scientist with the British Antarctic Survey.

Well, if Antarctica’s average snowfall is increasing, the only explanation IS an increase in temperature. That’s because of the ability of warmer air (relatively warmer) to hold more moisture.
But this is just a consequence of GoreBull warming, don’tcha know.
As ice piles up miles deep on land, there is less water covering the rest of the planet.
We know that sea levels have fluctuated in the distant past - at one time the Midwest was an inland sea and Florida was under water. At other times sea level was lower than it is now - we know from city ruins hundreds of feet underwater.
GW models show levels rising, that's "settled science", they say.
Could be they're full of it.
Not to mention the mile thick glacier, covering half of the
northern US, that melted 10,000
years ago, which gave us the
great lakes. The Laurentide
ice sheet.
Yes. And warm weather and wet weather and dry weather and hurricanes and drought and snow and sleet and and and and...

And yet, the precipitation rate in Antarctica remains low enough to make it the dryest continent. More global warning hoax drama queens' hysteria. Thanks BenLurkin.
