Re: [Phys-l] global temperatures



I hate to sound like a paranoid, but lot's of reports that I have read about ice buildup at Antartica and Greenland no longer show up on Google. Links that I have saved no longer connect to anything. I now wish I had printed out the items - just assumed that if they were findable once they would always be. I read a flurry of reports about the pixel calibration problems with satelite photos of North Polar sea ice. Now I can only find the "corrected" data.

A ran across an account written by an antarctic ice researcher a few years
ago. I do not have the reference, but the jist of it was that although
the warmer ocean is melting ice along the coasts, that the overall
thickness had increased over those previously mentioned decades. I think
there was also a mention of structures from the 1960s that are now buried
under tens of feet of ice.

I could not find the article I was referring to, but I did find this
interested historical overview an Antarctica...

David,

I'm usually a pretty good Googler, but I can't find any reputable
source that supports this statement. Where did you find it?
