The Earth Observatory reports that Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches New Maximum Extent.\u00a0 Yes, more rather than less.<\/p>\n
A recent study suggests:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe strong pattern of decreasing ice coverage in the Bellingshausen\/Amundsen Seas region and increasing ice coverage in the Ross Sea region is suggestive of changes in atmospheric circulation,<\/a>\u201d they noted.<\/p>\n \u201cThe year 2012 continues a long-term contrast between the two hemispheres, with decreasing sea ice coverage in the Arctic and increasing sea ice coverage in the Antarctic,\u201d Parkinson added. \u201cBoth hemispheres have considerable inter-annual variability, so that in either hemisphere, next year could have either more or less sea ice than this year. Still, the long-term trends are clear, but not equal: the magnitude of the ice losses in the Arctic considerably exceed the magnitude of the ice gains in the Antarctic.\u201d<\/p>\n Well, I suppose change is happening, but it still doesn’t look good.<\/p>\n NASA Earth Observatory: Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches New Maximum Extent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Earth Observatory reports that Antarctic Sea Ice Reaches New Maximum Extent.\u00a0 Yes, more rather than less.
