Antarctica Ice Growing Across Large Areas for at Least 85 Years, Aerial Photos Show – Study published in journal Nature Communications
Antarctica Ice Growing Across Large Areas for at Least 85 Years, Aerial Photos Show From THE DAILY SCEPTIC by Chris Morrison Sensational new discoveries arising from long-forgotten early aerial photographs indicate that ice has remained stable and even grown slightly since the 1930s over a 2,000 km stretch of East Antarctica. In a recent paper published in Nature Communications, […]

Central Greenland Was Recently Ice-Free & Covered With Plants When CO2 Was Under 300 ppm
Central Greenland Was Recently Ice-Free And Covered With Plants When CO2 Was Under 300 ppm By Kenneth Richard Today, with CO2 levels supposedly in the “dangerously high” range, Central Greenland has 3 kilometers of ice piled atop it. Scientists have known since the GISP2 borehole was drilled in 1993 that Central Greenland deglaciated at least once […]
New Study: 47 years of iceberg data finds ‘extreme calving events’ in Antarctica ‘are statistically unexceptional’ & ‘are not necessarily a consequence of climate change’ – Published in Geophysical Research Letters
https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2024GL112235?campaign=woletoc#main1 Abstract Massive calving events result in significant instantaneous ice loss from Antarctica. The rarity and stochastic nature of these extreme events makes it difficult to understand their physical drivers, temporal trends, and future likelihood. To address this challenge, we turn to extreme value theory to investigate past trends in annual maxima iceberg area and […]
Greenland Surface Temperatures Fall for 20 Years in Further Blow to Climate Alarm Narrative
Greenland Surface Temperatures Fall for 20 Years in Further Blow to Climate Alarm Narrative by Chris Morrison Further evidence that surface temperatures across Greenland have been cooling for around 20 years has emerged with the recent publication of findings from a group of Thai scientists and mathematicians. Processing 31,464 satellite recording from 2000-2019 over the entire […]
Claim: ‘Climate change causes mega-tsunami’s that shake the Earth for nine days’
Climate change causes mega-tsunami’s that shake the Earth for nine days By Jo Nova Every scientific curiosity becomes a climate prayer A year ago, within an hour, 120 seismometers all over the world started to record a freakish shake every 90 seconds like a metronome. People watching the waves were baffled. And even more so […]
Another summer with nearly normal temps in the Arctic region – Arctic sea ice showing resiliency
https://arcfieldweather.com/blog/2024/7/30/715-am-another-summer-with-nearly-normal-temperatures-in-the-arctic-region-continues-a-long-term-trend-during-their-melting-season By Meteorologist Paul Dorian As long as temperatures in the Arctic region remain close-to-normal during the summer season (gray area), there will likely be a limit as to the amount of melting of sea ice. The plot shown here displays the actual temperature pattern through mid-July (orange) as compared to the mean temperatures in […]
Antarctic ice expanding! New Study in journal Nature reveals ’85 years of glacier growth & stability in East Antarctica’ – ‘Ice-sheet wide mass balance estimates start[ed] in late 1970s…have exhibited either an overall mass gain or been relative unchanged’
Early aerial expedition photos reveal 85 years of glacier growth and stability in East Antarctica

Nature Communications: Our results demonstrate that the stability and growth in ice elevations observed in terrestrial basins over the past few decades are part of a trend spanning at least a century, and highlight the importance of understanding long-term changes when interpreting current dynamics. … However, in Antarctica, the scarcity of historical climate data makes climate reanalysis estimates before the 1970s largely uncertain10,23, and observed trends cannot clearly be distinguished from natural variability24,25.
Currently, the earliest ice-sheet wide mass balance estimates start in the late 1970s3,6,7, and since then all the sub-regions examined in this study have exhibited either an overall mass gain or been relative unchanged.
…
Regardless of potential climatic changes, our results indicate that the glacier in Kemp and Mac Robertson Land and along Ingrid Christensen Coast, have accumulated mass during the past 85 years which inevitably have mitigated parts of the more recent mass loss from the marine basins in East Antarctica and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS). This positive accumulation trend and positive mass balance is anticipated to persist as snowfall is expected to increase over the entire EAIS in the next century54,55, and ice sheet modeling studies project positive mass balance estimates in all three sub-regions across all future RCP scenarios56. Lastly, we determine frontal changes of 21 glaciers from 1937 to 2023 (Table S1 and Fig. S11). From the 85 years of observations, we find two distinct regional patterns; one of constant glacier surface elevations and one of ice thickening.
