Ice Comeback

Antarctica's ice isn't disappearing after all:

NASA reported that Antarctica experienced a net gain in ice mass because of unexpected and sustained snowfall, even as global temperatures continued to rise. The scientists were stunned. Their models didn’t predict it. They couldn’t explain it right away. Their conclusion? A short-term fluke that doesn’t mean much. Settled Science or Sinking Ship? For years, we’ve been told the models are settled science. That every click of the thermostat was heading us toward glacial collapse. Politicians invoked these predictions to regulate industries, tax carbon, and lecture us on our thermostats and SUVs. But now, with ice forming where melt was prophesied, it’s suddenly a "statistical hiccup." This is where the analogy ends and the reckoning begins.

The ice is still nice...
