A new paper about to be in press, comes at the end of a flurry of papers and reports published this week that claims Antarctica was losing ice mass. Zwally says ice growth is anywhere from 50 gigatons to 200 gigatons a year....

On the same day that WaPo and other alarmist media outlets were wailing about a small loss in Antarctic ice balance, another study came out. This study found that the East Antarctic Ice Sheet has survived higher temperatures...

Can we puny humans produce enough energy to melt the huge icecap? Some math helps. Guest essay by Julius Sanks When discussing climate with people who do not have technical backgrounds, I have learned much of the climate...

From The EGU  via the BBC: When scientists looked at Antarctic snowfall over the past 200 years they found a “significant” increase, up to 10%. In the decade 2001-2010, some 272 billion tons more snow fell on Antarctica...

Guest essay by James Wanliss It is a tough life in Antarctica. Average winter temperature at the South Pole is about -49°C. The coldest temperature ever recorded by a thermometer in Antarctica was -89.2°C at Vostok station...

Guest essay by Eric Worrall h/t Breitbart / James Delingpole – US scientists appealed to Argentina for help when the US icebreaker Laurence M Gould failed to break through the ice...

WUWT readers may remember this story from last year, where Chris Turney, leader of the ill fated “ship of fools” Spirit of Mawson expedition that go stuck in Antarctic sea ice said: “Penguins Don’t Migrate,...

Guest essay by Eric Worrall If we don’t immediately shut down global CO2 emissions, by the end of the century some Penguins might have to move to different islands – otherwise they’ll die! As climate change...

Guest post by David Middleton  Deep Bore Into Antarctica Finds Freezing Ice, Not Melting as Expected Scientists will leave sensors in the hole to better understand the long-term changes in the ice, which may have big implications...

Coping with climate stress in Antarctica Some polar fish can cope with warming or ocean acidification, but not both together Some Antarctic fish living in the planet’s coldest waters are able to cope with the stress...

From UCSD/Scripps Institution of Oceanography New study reveals strong El Niño events cause large changes in Antarctic ice shelves A new study published Jan...

From the “you really should get your stories straight” department. OK, here is press release #1 from the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH FLORIDA (USF HEALTH) Melting of east Antarctic ice sheet could cripple major US cities...

Stenni et al (2017), Antarctic climate variability on regional and continental scales over the last 2000 years, was published pdf this week by Climate of the Past.  It includes (multiple variations) of a new Antarctic temperature...

This is quite interesting. Remember the claim in on the front cover of Nature in 2009 by Steig and Mann that Antarctica was warming, thanks to that “special Mannian PCA math sauce” that was applied to air temperature...

From NASA’s Jet propulsion Laboratory and the “inconvenient science” department comes this study that dashes hopes of pinning melting in Antarctica entirely on human activity...
