The Washington Post recently ran a shocking above-the-fold article warning us of "Escalating Ice Loss Found in Antarctica." A new paper by Eric Rignot of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory shows a net loss of ice where most scientists thought the opposite would occur.
The Post went full-bore with this one, spreading the article on to an entire interior page. The piece ends by noting that Rajenda Pachauri, head of the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is so concerned that he's is personally going down to inspect the situation.
He should. Before he even gets to Antarctica, Pachauri is going to see something even more surprising than Rignot's finding. Despite a warming Southern Ocean, the amount of ice surrounding Antarctica is now at the highest level ever measured for this time of the year, since satellites first began to monitor it almost thirty years ago. This represents a continuation of the record set last winter (our summer).

The global warming lunatics will unwittingly usher in the next great Ice Age!
“The debate is over.” Don’t try to confuse them with the facts.
If there is such thing as reincarnation, I would definitely consider coming back as a polar bear in my next lifetime. I like seafood and meat and playing in the snow. It will be like...heaven on earth.
Shoot...Globull warming is just the next scam ....from the folks that brought you Enron, SIV’s/CDO’s.....the only thing different is they now need Federal coercion to force you to buy into it...
Polar bears live in the Arctic. Penguins live in the Antarctic. It would be a long swim for either one to make a meal.
But an ice age brings their habitats sooooo much more close together!!! ;-P
The current polar bear population is booming.
Left wing Marxists and their useful idiots will see what they want to see, and nothing - photos, science - will dissuade them from seeing their “truth.”
And illegal immigration, gutting the funding for building the fence (thanks to one US *Senator), deportation of illegal criminals after they’ve done their time, adding millions of illegal anchor babies to the welfare roles, ID theft, escalation of Hispanic gangs, the return of TB and polio and whooping cough, chagris, etc., etc. is just one more side of the Federal Coercion to loss of liberty and the pursuit of happiness where control of the masses and dependence upon Uncle Whammy Sammy is the prime directive for the march towards socialism and the economic pimping of the American worker.
Allstate requests 42% rate hike in Florida based on Global Warming projections.
Oh c’mon, we know McCain knows better than any scientific report and we know too that St. Obama and the Hildabeast do too. Just ask the MSM. We are loons and out of date free enterprise supporters. Let us get with it and wipe out capitalism so we too can be a Third World nation.
