Melting Antarctica Hype Ignores Record Ice Growth

Item: Media hype on 'melting' Antarctic ignores record ice growth/Cliff Harris, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: "... the media is once again hyping an allegedly dire consequence of man-made global warming. This time the media is promoting the ice loss of one tiny fraction of the giant ice-covered continent and completely ignoring the current record ice growth overall on Antarctica. Contrary to media hype, the vast majority of Antarctica has cooled over the past 50 years and ice coverage has grown to record levels since Satellite monitoring began in the 1970s, according to peer-reviewed studies and scientists who study the area."

Question: Are you concerned about reports that Antarctica is shrinking?
