10,000-year-old Antarctic ice shelf will disappear by 2020

[guno]

Changes are coming fast, less them 5 years. What warming?


One of the last remaining sections of Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf is dramatically weakening, according to a new NASA study.

The study predicts that what remains of the once-prominent ice shelf, a thick floating platform of ice, most likely will "disintegrate completely" before the end of this decade

Yeah, we heard about that. It's because of a volcano underneath.

Don't you feel stupid now?

scary

"... it is a warning. The conclusion is inescapable".

And yet -

Hmmm . . . don't build your house near a volcano?

Wow...

A Glacial remnant of the last ice age is about to break up because it has been eaten out from underneath by..... wait for it..... Volcanically warmed water... While the rest of Antarctica ice is growing massively.

Yawn..... Nothing to see here... the dam thing was melting at 1,200 meters per year in the 1800's far faster than today... same old failure to research and then scream at the top of your lungs alarm.... ding ding ding....

so, I can't help but focus on the phrase 'a thick floating platform of ice'. hmmm, you know what floating means right if it melts?

What volcano, where?

er, undersea volcanoes caused by Global Climate Warming Change.

yeah, that's the ticket

It is actually a series or chain of volcano's. But hey, lets not let a few facts derail an alarmist false attribution of cause..

Now, a new study finds that these subglacial volcanoes and other geothermal "hotspots" are contributing to the melting of Thwaites Glacier, a major river of ice that flows into Antarctica's Pine Island Bay. Areas of the glacier that sit near geologic features thought to be volcanic are melting faster than regions farther away from hotspots, said Dustin Schroeder, the study's lead author and a geophysicist at the University of Texas at Austin.

This melting could significantly affect ice loss in the West Antarctic, an area that is losing ice quickly.

Ahem. Thwaites glacier is not the Larson ice sheet. In fact, the two are about 1,000 miles apart.

So, the fact that the shelf is only 10,000 years old escaped your attention did it? If the shelf is only 10,000 years old, that means that it was a whole bunch warmer before that. Then it got cold. What "magic" is responsible for that?

The age of the shelf is unimportant. What is important is what it's disintegration is going to do to global sea levels, how it will impact coastlines full of people.

BWAHAHAHAHA!

Only a warmist cult member would even consider making such a claim.

The shelf could be 10,000 year old, or a million years old. It is still ice, and ice melts when it gets too warm.

Perhaps you should go back and review the poss, because it has already been covered. The volcano is under the Thwaites glacier, not the Larson ice sheet. They are 1,000 miles apart. Next.

the arctic was supposed to be iceless by now.
they predicted brutal hurricane seasons 10 years in a row, and didn't' get them, not one season made any record.

but hey, they have to be right sometime, eventually, maybe.

pfft

1000 miles for a volcano is just down the road
