That's the way every religion works, this one is no differentThe problem with progressivism is they believe all things can be decided. Once its been 'scientifically confirmed' the debate is over.
A new NASA study says that an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.NASA Study: Mass Gains of Antarctic Ice Sheet Greater than Losses

First, that is one study, there are other studies that contradict this, including the data from the GRACE satellites.
Second, just how the fuck do you get the Earth cooling out of that study?
Third, what the fuck do you mean, hiding the information? This paper was published two years ago and extensively discussed on this very board.

but what is the proof this is the case? [I'm not claiming one way or the other what is happening here, just want the controlling authority guidelines for what constitutes proof[ and as far as my post is concerned I was pointing out that the OP's post was both accurate and honest even if it may not be right, which is the same "global warmests" do]A warming of the air over Antarctica would result in more snow inland as the warmer air, still below freezing, could carry more water vapor. That, of course, would be temporary as the warming would also involve a warmer ocean, and more melting of the ice shelves.

Their work showed that not only was the Antarctic Peninsula warming, but the interior of West Antarctica — the ice sheet most susceptible to potential future collapse — was as well. And not only that, but that "the continent on the whole is warming," Mann said. "This is the first study to demonstrate that."
The study, funded by the National Science Foundation, found that warming in West Antarctica exceeded about 0.18 degree Fahrenheit (0.1 degree Celsius) per decade for the last 50 years — more than enough to offset the cooling in East Antarctica.
And with ozone depletion having leveled off, that cooling is unlikely to continue in the future.
"Efforts to repair the ozone layer eventually will begin taking effect and the hole could be eliminated by the middle of this century. If that happens, all of Antarctica could begin warming on a par with the rest of the world," Steig said.
"The greenhouse signal is now out-competing the ozone depletion signal," Mann said.
The study is "good work," said Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo., but he says there are unique aspects of Antarctica's climate that haven't been taken into account. Trenbeok, follow me because this is why I so distrust the global warming crowd...I have asked several times what the proof is for claiming this and all I have gotten is "this and/or that is rising in temperature"..."this and/or that scientist said"...."this and/or that study" and not one standard unit of proof...if you would like to see how frustrating listening to something where proof is not the focal point, try adding proof to each and every claim that you are going to try and make from here on out...none exists because everything that is happening to the earth right now is natural and has happened between 17 and 19 times before.
