An additional two degrees on the global average,...

A recent article from NASA’s Earth Observatory claims that the latest data reveal that Antarctica is losing ice at an accelerating rate. But how can that be?

Climate change deniers are having a field day over a supposed ‘scandal’, which in their minds confirms the ‘vast consipiracy’ of anthropogenic global warming.
