Archimedes in the Antarctic: Icing a Climate Denial Trope
October 27, 2020
So I’m working on an Antarctic update piece, and I pulled out the interview with Scripps expert Jeff Severinghaus – who had just returned from a research trip to Antarctica himself.
We talked about a lot of things, but I had forgotten this piece, when I asked him to clarify a reliable climate denial trope – “NASA Says Antarctica is not Melting”.
Likely that readers of this blog are familiar, but I treated the meme in some detail a couple years ago.
Anyway, so Jeff gave a lucid explanation of a first-order Physics refutation of the purported study. It involves ice, and Archimedes.

Is something wrong with the video? I get no sound.
