What? More snow and ice in South Africa?
Rush Limbaugh points his listeners to this interesting article on the non-disappearing icepack.

The first paragraph is devastating: "An improved method of measuring Antarctic snowfall has revealed that previous records showing an increase in precipitation are not accurate, even over a half-century. In the August 10 edition of Science magazine, researchers explain that their analysis of ice cores and snow pits revealed that precipitation levels in the Antarctic have in fact remained steady. The upshot of the study is that models assessing climate-change may need to be revised, as they can no longer be deemed accurate."
My only issue with Donald J. Boudreaux's article, "The case for neglecting global warming - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review," is that neglecting a non-issue isn't neglect--it's prudent.
