Headline: "Now there's more* ice at South Pole than ever (So much for global warming thawing Antarctica!)"* Report: "Scientists have produced the first three dimensional map of the surface beneath Antarctic sea ice, helping them better understand the impact of climate change on Antarctica.The team of scientists from eight countries have used a robot submarine to chart a frozen and inverted world of mountains and valleys, allowing accurate measurements of the crucial thickness of Antarctic sea ice. By combining the data with airborne measures of surface ice and snow, scientists can now accurately measure changes in ice thickness and better understand the affects of global warming. 'The ice thickness is regarded amongst climate scientists as the holy grail of determining changes in the system,' Antarctic marine glaciologist Jan Lieser said. 'If we can determine the change in the thickness of the sea ice we can estimate the rate of change that is due to global warming.'" Why trumpet area when mass is the most important measurement? "More" used to imply Antarctica is not thawing is a useless statement when you acknowledge that mass is what counts. Unless your goal is to waste peoples' time with poorly written junk.
