A Tale of Many Headlines

All the media of course focuses on the Antarctic when it suits them, despite the fact that there has been no appreciable rise in temperature there over the past 30 years, which seems to indicate all of these ice shelf losses have arisen from other factors (but let's not permit the facts to get in the way of a good scare story):

• Antarctic ice shelf "disappears" (ABC Online)
• Antarctic ice shelf breaks up (News.com.au)
• Antarctic ice melting faster than expected (real originality there from The Age)
• Breakaway ice shelf will reshape map of Antarctic (The Australian)
• Antarctic ice shelf in peril as bridge snaps (ABC Online)
• Massive Antarctic ice shelf poised to fall (SBS)
  

Whereas the Catlin Arctic Survey team (see here) are wishing that they hadn't packed their bermuda shorts and sun screen and are discovering that it is "stupidly cold" in the Arctic. Also, that the RSS temperature data show the March Arctic temperature below the 30 year average. So for comparison, here is the list of news articles reporting those stories:

• [silence]
  
• Er, ...
• That's it.

And who said the media was biased?
