Ice expanding in much of Antarctica Eastern coast getting colder Western section remains a concern

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.

Thank you both for your comments. Donovan, I agree it seems the media here is being led by the debate rather than leading it. Thus it would appear the issue has become fully entrenched wisdom and to challenge it merely courts derision, which suggests the green lobby has been pretty successful even if the science has not.

I think what bugs me is that major new media entities like the BBC and CNN have done little to cover "climategate". It makes one wonder if the media has become judge and jury on matters of scientific interests, and don't deem this worthy of objective and fair coverage. After all, shouldn't reporting be about finding out truth, regardless of our own personal bias or prevailing attitudes in our news organisations?

Dear Dr. Smith, I am not a scientist, and like you I have major reservations concerning the global warming debate. Althoug I believe in global warming, because it can be demonstrated by the extreme melting of the ice in the Arctic region. I don't, however, believe that it is caused by man. Man's contribution may be very minimal with more of it being caused by natural processes of the earth. I believe that the earth's climate changes are cyclic. There have been many periods in history where the earth had a much warmer climate than now. (By the way, Dont be ashamed for being a little smug. )
