"Study finds Antarctica is also growing warmer" by Seth Borenstein, Associated Press | January 22, 2009
WASHINGTON - Antarctica, the only place that had oddly seemed immune from climate change, is warming after all, according to a new study.
For years, Antarctica was an enigma to scientists who track the effects of global warming. Temperatures on much of the continent at the bottom of the world were staying the same or slightly cooling, previous research indicated.
The new study went back further than earlier work and filled in a massive gap in data with satellite information to find that Antarctica too is getting warmer, like the Earth's other six continents. The findings were published in today's issue of the journal Nature.
"Contrarians have sometime grabbed on to this idea that the entire continent of Antarctica is cooling, so how could we be talking about global warming," said study co-author Michael Mann, director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State University. "Now we can say: No, it's not true . . . It is not bucking the trend."
Yeah, because you guys MADE UP BULLSHIT!!!
The study does not point to man-made climate change as the cause of the Antarctic warming - doing so is a highly intricate scientific process.... NASA scientist Drew Shindell, another study co-author, said some of the effects also could be natural variability.
That's what WE HAVE ALL BEEN SAYING!
The study showed that Antarctica remains a complicated weather picture, especially with only a handful of monitoring stations in its vast interior. Researchers used satellite data and mathematical formulas to fill in missing information. That made outside scientists queasy about making conclusions with such sparse information.
Yeah, NO KIDDING!! Translation: It's a BULLSHIT STUDY, folks!!!!
"This looks like a pretty good analysis, but I have to say I remain somewhat skeptical," Kevin Trenberth, climate analysis chief at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, said in an e-mail.
Nevertheless, we get inanities like this:
""The question still lingering was: Does lowering pollution have health benefits? The answer is yes."
Umm, DUH!!!
.... global warming."
There are the WORDS again; click on the link and see where you find them.
AHEM!!!
"This month's temperatures are running 3 to 4 degrees colder than normal"
"The EPA attributed the decrease to fewer days with temperatures exceeding 90 degrees"
Yeah, anecdotally, I didn't haul out the fan as much.
