Snow Accumulating at "Amazingly High Rate" in Antarctica

Tierney has another good climate post up today. The peg is new research indicating "that snow accumulation has doubled since 1850 in the western Antarctic peninsula, and that the trend has accelerated in recent decades."

He also links to this analysis of the study:

So while we’ve heard recent reports about Antarctica losing ice, here we again find evidence to the contrary, and then some, at least in these locations. Not only is there no evidence of melting at the Gomez site, snow is accumulating there at an amazingly high rate. Clearly, this paper adds to the evidence that suggests that we simply, as of yet, do not have a firm grasp on the climate changes and their drivers that are effecting Antarctica, past, present, or, much less, future.

Smells like consensus.
