I can already see how this will play out on Fox News.
- usertaken 11y agoAnd I can see how it will play on CNN and MSNBC....with virtually no coverage. Bias plays both ways.

- hellofunk 11y agoFWIW, here is a CNN story: http://edition.cnn.com/2015/11/03/world/antarctica-ice-gain/ http://edition.cnn.com/2015/11/03/world/antarctica-ice-gain/ >However, this isn't good news for our climate necessarily. Authors of the study say the increasing loss of ice in the West Antarctic and the peninsula, plus slowing ice gains elsewhere on the continent, could mean that there will be overall losses of ice in the next 20 years. >In fact, this may already be occurring, according to other research published as recently as this week, which suggests the West Antarctic ice sheet is destabilizing, which would more than overcome the ice gains and could result in 3 meters of sea level rise.
- fooscience 11y agoYes you can: http://www.foxnews.com/science/2015/11/03/new-study-finds-antarctic-ice-growing-countering-earlier-studies.html http://www.foxnews.com/science/2015/11/03/new-study-finds-an... “The good news is that Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away,” Zwally said. “But this is also bad news. If the 0.27 millimeters per year of sea level rise attributed to Antarctica in the IPCC report is not really coming from Antarctica, there must be some other contribution to sea level rise that is not accounted for.” “If the losses of the Antarctic Peninsula and parts of West Antarctica continue to increase at the same rate they’ve been increasing for the last two decades, the losses will catch up with the long-term gain in East Antarctica in 20 or 30 years - I don’t think there will be enough snowfall increase to offset these losses,” said Zwally.
