My article "Scare of the Century" (June 5) quoted University of Virginia climate scientist Patrick J. Michaels as saying that "Antarctica has been gaining ice," and, based on Michaels's view, called 2002 a "high-water mark for Antarctic ice." Michaels cited a study by Curt Davis to support his position. Davis subsequently noted that his study did not measure ice changes over all of Antarctica. It showed that a large part of the East Antarctic ice sheet was growing while much of the West Antarctic ice sheet was shrinking. Davis wrote in his study that, if the observed growth pattern held for all of East Antarctica, it would outweigh estimated ice loss in West Antarctica; but he did not conclusively prove this to be the case. The argument ...
