Another Problem for People Who Didn't Pay Attention in School

Those persons who will gladly believe any nonsense as long as it isn't true have jumped on a recent increase in Antarctic ice as proof that global climate change is a conspiracy dreamed up by hundreds of thousands of scientists for their own nefarious purposes.

Unfortunately, there is an explanation for the increase that won't make them happy.

Apparently, an increase in winds near the south pole (hmmm, wonder what is causing that?) is responsible.  Stronger westerly winds swirling around the South Pole can explain 80 percent of the increase in Antarctic sea ice volume in the past three decades.

 The increased winds are chilling the water, causing ice to form.  Then the wind piles the ice into thicker layers that resist melting.

Doesn't science just ruin your day, conspiracy theorists?
