Scientists Can Never Be Wrong, Huh?

GLOBAL WARMING CAUSES ANTARCTIC ICE? claim Dutch scientists, according to Red Orbit 1 April 2013, New Scientist 2 April 2013 and Nature Geoscience doi:10.1038/ngeo1767. Although the sea ice around the North Pole has been decreasing over the last few decades, down under, the sea ice around Antarctica has been growing, and scientists have had difficulty fitting this into a story of relentless global warming melting the polar ice caps. Richard Bintanja and colleagues at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute now claim that the growing ice is actually being caused by global warming.

Oh my giddy aunt!
