This is no surprize. Solar activity has dropped since 2005 and the economic recession since 2007 has resulted in less greenhouse gases being emitted by our civilization, so global warming has slowed as a result. Plus, Antarctica would have been the last part of Earth affected by climate change because of its isolated nature.

Good story Katie! Excellent explanation, Moonbat. Together we can change the world, and the atmosphere!

The best ever letter that I have read about the cause of global warming, is from captain Paul Watson (Sea Shepherd). It was brilliant. You all must have read it from Claudia's submissions.

So we aren't going to die from global warming next year? But our government says that it is a major problem that will kill us all soon. we all know that they don't lie to us. I wonder what they are really hiding from us while we stress out over the melting ice?

Notice Moonbat never provides references and as a typical disinformationalist he mixes up the tiny effect a tiny amount of CO2 might have with the effect of the sun....which has been quiet for long time.

The Antarctic has been gaining ice for quite a while. Only the West Antarctic has been loosing some.
From 2005
"A recent study, no shocker to real climatologists (but perhaps to climate doomsayers), demonstrates this simple physics. It appears in the latest SciencExpress, and it shows that the vast majority of the Antarctic landmass is rapidly gaining ice and snow cover."

Revealed: Antarctic ice growing, not shrinking

ICE is expanding in much of Antarctica, contrary to the widespread public belief that global warming is melting the continental ice cap.

The results of ice-core drilling and sea ice monitoring indicate there is no large-scale melting of ice over most of Antarctica, although experts are concerned at ice losses on the continent's western coast.

Antarctica has 90 per cent of the Earth's ice and 80 per cent of its fresh water. Extensive melting of Antarctic ice sheets would be required to raise sea levels substantially, and ice is melting in parts of west Antarctica. The destabilisation of the Wilkins ice shelf generated international headlines this month.

However, the picture is very different in east Antarctica, which includes the territory claimed by Australia.

East Antarctica is four times the size of west Antarctica and parts of it are cooling. The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research report prepared for last week's meeting of Antarctic Treaty nations in Washington noted the South Pole had shown "significant cooling in recent decades".

Australian Antarctic Division glaciology program head Ian Allison said sea ice losses in west Antarctica over the past 30 years had been more than offset by increases in the Ross Sea region, just one sector of east Antarctica. "

Typically a government minister carried on about how it was melting and the seas were rising.
