Antarctica- Confusing the Alarmists

Antarctica, the continent that covers Earth's south pole contains more frozen water than all other deposits of glacial ice on the planet combined. It's quite huge; 42% larger than the entire United States in size. Every few years there appears a spate of articles and even TV reports that the ice of Antarctica is about to disintegrate and drown us all. The collapse of the Antarctic ice shelves, causing oceans to rise and all sorts of climate mayhem, is a favorite theme of climate alarmists everywhere. Unfortunately, for the alarmists, new reports tell a different story. It seems that the Antarctic Peninsula has actually cooled over the past two decades. Moreover, all the hoopla about this being the hottest year ever is contradicted by findings from Antarctic ice cores that during the Eemian, the last interglacial (130,000 to 115,000 years ago), global climate was warmer than today and global mean sea level was 6-9 m higher, reports Doug Hoffman. ¹
