An article on MSN today is about dumbfounded scientists who can't explain why the Antarctic sea ice keeps growing. To make matters worse they managed to get a robot sub under the ice only to find it is much, much thicker than they thought.

Oh the humanity!

Thanks for posting.

The most recent politically correct explanation for ice growth near the South Pole is [was] that ice below the visible surface is melting, runs down to the ocean edge, then artificially cools the sea water there, which makes ice grow faster, but thinner.

In fact, there are numerous volcanic hot spots beneath the ice, so the theory was plausible, but not for the same reasons the Climate Change folks claim.
