This shows we don't understand Antarctica as well as we thought.Or anything else, I'll wager.

The next step is to determine why Antarctica is cooling. Calmer weather is one possible reason. We all know global warming and El Nino is to blame. That's why the U.S. must stop being stubborn and pass the Kyoto accords. That's why governments must take severe steps to reduce greenhouse emissions and global warming. Yada, yada, yad.
What's that you say? Cooling, not warming? Weather getting calmer, not harsher? No, this can't be. This fact contradicts our well-founded theory of global warming. It's inconvenient, too. Ignore it. Who's the AP copy editor that let this story into the news!! Dammit, heads will roll! </sarcasm>

"And, 14 years is a relatively short period." But 100 years of recorded temperature data is worth destroying the entire world economy for.

"Ice is growing thicker atop lakes, while freshwater flowing off the surrounding glaciers is diminishing and lake levels are dropping. "More ice means less in the oceans, so much for rising oceans heights, bla,bla,bla.

This reminds me of a passage:
"I read somewhere that the sun's getting hotter every year," said Tom genially. "It seems that pretty soon the earth's going to fall into the sun --or wait a minute --it's just the opposite --the sun's getting colder every year."
--F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

,,, I think it may have been last year NASA sent a plane down to circle Antarctica for a while to work out the present size and condition of the ozone hole - did you ever hear anything about the findings of that research?

See the second link form the bottome at
this site for the data showing that both tropospheric and stratospheric temperatures are FALLING!!!
It occurs to me that Antartica probably doesn't suffer from the urban heat increase effect that many think lies behind the "rising" surface temperatures.
Global Warming is a Fraud BTTT.

And then you'll say
Even in time we shall control the day
When all you'll see
Deep inside the day's controlling you and me.
You'll see Perpetual Change.
You'll see Perpetual Change

"This doesn't change the global warming scenario; the planet is still warming," said the study's lead author, limnologist Peter T. Doran of the University of Illinois-Chicago. "But this is an unexpected twist. This shows we don't understand Antarctica as well as we thought."Let's rephrase that: "This shows we don't understand the earth as well as we thought."bb

Clearly the only rational response to this news is that the RATs must raise taxes. That will solve the problem...
