It’s an interesting study, one in which they were rather shocked that the Antarctic was expanding in contradiction of all the man-caused global warming. It’s interesting how scientists seem to find that cooling is natural, warming is only anthropogenic
(Cosmos)  It’s a paradox that has scientists stumped – why, in a warming world with warming oceans, is Antarctica’s sea ice spreading and thickening each year?
Climate scientists from the US and Australia found expanding sea ice in recent years was mostly caused by natural variations in sea surface temperatures, which swamped the relatively small amount of warming due to greenhouse gases.
They discuss things like the IPO
Gerald Meehr from the National Centre for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, US and colleagues examined 262 climate models – not looking for human effects, but natural variation.
Indeed, they found rising sea temperatures due to global warming were swamped by the interdecadal pacific oscillation, or IPO – naturally fluctuating atmospheric pressure that causes warms or cools sea surfaces over the entire Pacific Basin.
Got all that? Nature is overriding what you evil people who drive fossil fueled vehicles and refuse to give up eating meat has caused. But, fortunately, we are soon doomed, because the IPO is changing.
Or, it could be that nature is just doing what nature does. Like it has always done.
