Climate Paradox: Longer Antarctic Melt Season May Mean Less Global Warming

Normally, the news that Antarctica's summer melt season is getting longer might just be added to an endless compilation of scientific evidence that confirms the reality of global climate change. A recent research report, though, seems to run counter to the conventional wisdom. It shows that if the ice pack at the bottom of the world has more time to melt each summer, less of it might transition from solid to liquid.[caption id="attachment_11429" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Glacier sea ice in the Antarctic, Credit: Pixabay.com"] [/caption] [More]
