The Claim That Exxon Is Funding Climate Skepticism Evaporates Under Scrutiny

Perhaps they didn’t get the memo. NASA released an exhaustive study yesterday (Nov. 30, 2015). See here. NASA’s study admits that “Antarctica is not currently contributing to sea level rise, but is taking 0.23 millimeters per year away.” Antarctic ice is now at the very largest levels ever recorded by satellite.
