¿QUÉ ES lo que ocurre cuando modelos desarrollados en ordenador se cotejan con la realidad? Pues cosas como esta: que el hielo del Antártico —en contra de todo lo que llevamos oyendo durante años— no está disminuyendo:

Twenty-year-old models which have suggested serious ice loss in the eastern Antarctic have been compared with reality for the first time - and found to be wrong, so much so that it now appears that no ice is being lost at all.

"Previous ocean models ... have predicted temperatures and melt rates that are too high, suggesting a significant mass loss in this region that is actually not taking place," says Tore Hattermann of the Norwegian Polar Institute, member of a team which has obtained two years' worth of direct measurements below the massive Fimbul Ice Shelf in eastern Antarctica - the first ever to be taken.
