MORE ICE
New satellite data shows that concerns over the levels of sea ice may have been premature. It was feared the polar caps were vanishing because of the effects of global warming. But US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data now show almost all the "lost" ice has come back. Ice levels, which had shrunk from 13 million sq km in January 2007 to just four million in October 2007, are almost back to their original levels. There is nearly a third more ice in Antarctica than is usual for this time of year. The data flies in the face of many current thinkers predicting the dire consequences of global warming.
