Antarctic sea ice set another record this past week, with the most amount of ice ever recorded
on day 256 of the calendar year (September 12 of this leap year).
Please, nobody tell the mainstream media or they might have to retract
some stories and admit they are misrepresenting scientific data.
National Public Radio (NPR) published an article
on its website last month claiming, “Ten years ago, a piece of ice the
size of Rhode Island disintegrated and melted in the waters off
Antarctica. Two other massive ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula
had suffered similar fates a few years before. The events became poster
children for the effects of global warming. … There’s no question that
unusually warm air triggered the final demise of these huge chunks of
ice.”
