Antarctic Sea Ice Sets Another Record - Forbes
That's a bit strange. Don't you think?
And that includes what I think is slanted reporting by National Public Radio...
On the Forbes.com website, James Taylor recently wrote about it:
"National Public Radio (NPR) published an article on its website last month claiming, 'Ten years ago, a piece of ice the size of Rhode Island disintegrated and melted in the waters off Antarctica. Two other massive ice shelves along the Antarctic Peninsula had suffered similar fates a few years before. The events became poster children for the effects of global warming. … There’s no question that unusually warm air triggered the final demise of these huge chunks of ice.' NPR failed to mention anywhere in its article that Antarctic sea ice has been growing since satellites first began measuring the ice 33 years ago and the sea ice has been above the 33-year average throughout 2012."
