LiveScience Concurs: Antarctica Ice Growing


LiveScience leaves out a lot of history in that story. For the rest of the story, go to Forbes.com: Antarctic ice sets another record.
NPR failed to mention anywhere in its article that Antarctic sea ice has been growing since satellites first began measuring the ice 33 years ago and the sea ice has been above the 33-year average throughout 2012.  
Indeed, none of the mainstream media are covering this important story.  
A Google News search of the terms Antarctic, sea ice and record turns up not a single article on the Antarctic sea ice record. Amusingly, page after page of Google News results for Antarctic sea ice record show links to news articles breathlessly spreading fear and warning of calamity because Arctic sea ice recently set a 33-year low.

    1. The earth already leans; this will just make it worse. But I had not thought of that. Hmmm.....
