New paper finds no change in Antarctic snowmelt since measurements began in 1979
Study in 'Geophysical Research Letters finds no significant change in Antarctic snowmelt over entire 31 year period of satellite observations 1979-2010. The paper actually shows a declining trend in snowmelt over past 31 years, although not statistically significant. Abstract: '...other than atmospheric processes likely determine long-term ice shelf stability.' Translation: increased CO2 & other 'greenhouse gases' do not threaten stability of Antarctic ice shelf'
