WCR: Recent News from Antarctica
“It seems like we’ve asked this question a million times before and will probably ask it again a million more times. Had these scientists from these three articles found accelerated melting (or any melting), how many headlines would have covered their stories across the globe? They find a gain of ice mass in the Horseshoe Valley and a historically low amount of melting around the coastlines, so you had to come to World Climate Report to hear all about it.”
