Which "scientists"? How many "scientists"?

Too many reporters and not enough news causes
idiotic headlines. Ice is always melting on the
bottom, and ice is always sublimating on all
surfaces, Global Warming isn't needed to cause
icebergs, glacier flow, or calving.

Gee, some "scientists" have just discovered
Antarctica and found it doesn't fit their preconceived
notions of it being a dormant chunk of ice left
over from some much colder past era.

Big news!
