Global warming theories just took a major hit with a surprising discovery by British, U.S. and Australian researchers who found that Antarctic underwater ice is much thicker than scientists had believed it to be.

After four years of study using a robot submarine called SeaBED, the researchers found that Antarctic ice averages from 4.5 to 18 feet in thickness, Breitbart reports.

Previously, scientists had believed Antarctic ice was only about 3.2-16.4 feet (1-5 meters) thick, Carbon Brief reports, but the new discovery indicates that in some areas, Antarctic ice may measure up to 16 meters (52 feet) thick.

Writing in the journal Nature Geoscience, the research team stated: "We suggest that thick ice in the near-coastal and interior pack may be under-represented in existing in situ assessments of Antarctic sea ice and hence, on average, Antarctic sea ice may be thicker than previously thought," Breitbart reports.

In fact, the team speculates that Antarctic ice may actually be growing in thickness.

Further proof of "Climate Change." What else ya got?

So once again, what we thought we knew has been proven grossly wrong. So, if we don't know what has been, how can we know whether what is represents shrinkage or thickening?!

AGW isn't settled science, it's settled ignorance and arrogance!
