It really is baffling why johnforbes is so proud of his ability to read a weather report.
Yes, we can all read, dimwit. You must be proud to know you have the same talent as your local buxom TV weather girl.
And you really need to hire a new scientific staff, dummy. Yours don't know jack shit about science.
Of course, cold alone does NOT create "a lot of ice." Every grade school child knows this. There must also be water. Duh.
There are huge expanses of extremely cold regions that don't have a lot of ice. The Gobi Desert, for example. johnforbes and his Trump-appointed 'scientific staff' doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. QED
Now, if johnforbes would get over his bizarre obsession with weather reports and look at the actual science of climate, he would realize the Antarctica regularly has gains of 100 billion tons of ice. This surprises no one. The problem comes when it regularly LOSES 200 billion tons of ice before it gains back 100 billion of it.
The ice sheet in Antarctica is currently shrinking over time, regardless of what johnforbes' weather report tells him. Here's a chart of ice in Antarctica over roughly the past 20 years. In that time, the Antarctic ice sheet has lost 2000 gigatons of mass. That's an AVERAGE of 149 gigatons of ice loss per year, regardless of what johnny's current weather report tells him about this one year.

(scroll down until you come to the graph of "Observations of Antarctic Ice Mass Changes" overlaid on a map of Antarctica.)
Yes, some years there is a gain in ice mass. But other years there is an even greater DECREASE in ice mass that shrinks the ice sheet overall.
johnny, you really need to stop sourcing your scientific information from your partisan handlers. They are not your friends.
