Height of Antarctica ice sheet increasing
According to findings come from the Europe’s Space Administration ESA’s ice-measuring satellite, CryoSat, over the last two years Antarctica’s ice sheet has increased in height. Read full article

Mar 31st, 2012 - 11:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The new argentine satellites (considered amongst the best built, INVAP, COCINET, CONAE... all companies sought out by the Brazilians, NASA and Europe for space cooperation), going up will provide the truth, and our better scientists clear this up. Once our rocket program is running fully in a couple of years for light loads, we will be able to launch many more satellites.
@1 you're just saying that because you read it in a mullet-book. You're not allowed to read dangerous foreign books.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 05:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0The truth is that water only expands when it is cooling - unlike metals which contract when cooling...

Does anyone else think that satellite's orbit might be a little low.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 01:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@5 That's because the europeans are morons who can't put a satellite on a stable orbit. Look at the recent Mars probe.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 02:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has just as good of a satellite industry and soon rockets for low-payload orbital delivery (at least that is what the world believes, they could carry other things of course).
Then we will get the answer.
Btw, to the nobel scientist claiming water expands, yes it does. But that's ice, not water... European science, dismal.
The only difference between water and ice, Sherlock, is its temperature. When ice is heated it does not expand...

If, as you claim, ze yerpeens are morons, that would then make RGs and trolls, and especially RG trolls, sub-morons.
You mean sub-humans? and the ze yerpeens “the master race”.
Apr 01st, 2012 - 03:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Tell us something Europeans to the lone man do not believe. The world knows Europeans are nazis.
Ice expands when warmed, just as water expands when cooled. A 2nd grade in Argentina knows that as it's a typical experiment made. Its the one kids do right before the baking soda and vinegar volcano.
In Europe they don't do experiments anymore. They just rely on the Master Race mythology to claim they are smart.
Yeah, right - sub-moron...

Apr 01st, 2012 - 10:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In other news, ESA have announced that they mistook Christina's Swiss bank account for the Antarctica ice sheet.
Apr 02nd, 2012 - 08:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0the truth is that water gains volume when it turns solid. the fact that the antarctic ice sheet thickens simply confirms what wheather scientists who don't belong to the climate change sect have been saying for years (12 at least that I know of), that is that the Artic is melting whereas the Antarctic is freezing.

#8 - just go and look up the number of Nobel prizes won by European scientists and doctors (I got bored counting when I hit 150, but some 90 from the UK alone) and then compare it with the number of Argentinian winners ........ (er....3)

Apr 02nd, 2012 - 02:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, you imbecile, we know that ice expands when it freezes .. which is why it was of such great concern when the ice shrank every year between 1991 and 2008.
PS: Even after 65 years of sheltering all those NAZI scientists and war criminals, it has taken you until now to build rockets? No wonder your country is still so backward.
that picture reminds me of a still from
