One of the scariest effects of climate change might already be happening — and it'd mean our projections are way off

In that situation, abnormally warm water could cause the glaciers that hold back ice sheets on top of Antarctica and Greenland to collapse. That would cause massive quantities of ice to pour into the world's oceans, which could lead to extremely rapid sea-level rise around the world.
If such a scenario were to occur, current sea-level rise predictions for vulnerable cities like Miami would be far too low.

Idiots on the left are probably selling their properties down there in Miami at a loss because they don't want to drown, "IF" the glaciers that hold back ice sheets collapse....And you can bet people like Al Jazeera Gore, Warren Buffet and George Soros are there picking up that cheap property for their next million dollar mansions that use up $33,000 of electricity a year...

The article is highly misleading as they left out some critical facts.

This paragraph is actually big fat lie!

"The burning of fossil fuels is causing Earth's temperature to creep higher and higher above pre-industrial levels. The higher the temperature gets, the more likely the collapse of ice shelves becomes — as well as the potential pulse that comes with it."

The hypothesis that the Antarctic ice sheets are thinning and collapsing due to warm water is well supported. Even more well supported is the conclusion that the collapse of those sheets lead to rapid acceleration of the glacial flow into the sea. To wit:

What "critical facts" were left out?

What is "COMPLETELY missing" from the article?

Why do you believe the quoted paragraph is false?

You really don't know what they completely left out of the article? It is OBVIOUS!

Hint: It releases a LOT of thermal energy

Read this again, Crick. THINK of the location for this claim, think about the listed science paper they used for the Media's lying claims.

"The burning of fossil fuels is causing Earth's temperature to creep higher and higher above pre-industrial levels. The higher the temperature gets, the more likely the collapse of ice shelves becomes — as well as the potential pulse that comes with it."

Now here is the listed science paper to support the Media's highly misleading claim:

Freshening by glacial meltwater enhances melting of ice shelves and reduces formation of Antarctic Bottom Water

"Abstract
Strong heat loss and brine release during sea ice formation in coastal polynyas act to cool and salinify waters on the Antarctic continental shelf. Polynya activity thus both limits the ocean heat flux to the Antarctic Ice Sheet and promotes formation of Dense Shelf Water (DSW), the precursor to Antarctic Bottom Water. However, despite the presence of strong polynyas, DSW is not formed on the Sabrina Coast in East Antarctica and in the Amundsen Sea in West Antarctica. Using a simple ocean model driven by observed forcing, we show that freshwater input from basal melt of ice shelves partially offsets the salt flux by sea ice formation in polynyas found in both regions, preventing full-depth convection and formation of DSW. In the absence of deep convection, warm water that reaches the continental shelf in the bottom layer does not lose much heat to the atmosphere and is thus available to drive the rapid basal melt observed at the Totten Ice Shelf on the Sabrina Coast and at the Dotson and Getz ice shelves in the Amundsen Sea. Our results suggest that increased glacial meltwater input in a warming climate will both reduce Antarctic Bottom Water formation and trigger increased mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet, with consequences for the global overturning circulation and sea level rise."

=========================
Not a dam thing about air temperature!

The Media LIED to you, Crick!

 

[Crick]

The specific heat capacity of water is roughly 1,000 times that of air's.

They still haven't figured out the Antarctic ring of fire that is sub glacial?

Doubt they are even aware at the scope of the ring of fire under the ice.

The air temperature is NOT warm enough to cause the melting, the incoming waters are not that warm either, there is something else warmists amazingly not aware of, that is a significant factor in the region.

 

[Crick]

The boundary of the Antarctic Plate is well away from the Antarctic coastline and volcanism there would have no effect on the coastal ice sheets. Motion of the plate is quite consistent on both sides and on Antarctica itself. No subduction, no trenches, no heating. If you know of another, why don't you provide us a link?

The First Solid Evidence of Eruptions Under Antarctic Ice

"In August, researchers at Edinburgh University announced that frigid West Antarctica is home to at least 138 volcanoes, all concealed within an ice sheet that's up to two kilometers thick in some places!"

and this from FOUR YEARS ago,

Surprise, West Antarctic volcano melts ice

“Using radar data from satellites in orbit, the researchers were able to figure out where these subglacial streams were too full to be explained by flow from upstream. The swollen streams revealed spots of unusually high melt, Schroeder said. Next, the researchers checked out the subglacial geology in the region and found that fast-melting spots were disproportionately clustered near confirmed West Antarctic volcanoes, suspected volcanoes or other presumed hotspots.

“There’s a pattern of hotspots,” Schroeder said. “One of them is next to Mount Takahe, which is a volcano that actually sticks out of the ice sheet.”… “It’s pretty hot by continental standards,” he said.”

and best of all from Plate Climatology,

Active Volcanoes, Geological Forces Melting Antarctica’s Nansen Glacier – Not Global Warming

"These satellite images clearly document the fracturing and eventual breakup of a large terminal segment of the Nansen Glacier. Tech Times contends that the ESA study and associated satellite images are “smoking gun” evidence that man-made global warming is destroying our planet, specifically in this case melting Antarctic glaciers. Taken at face value this appears very plausible because the article is based on research by a trusted space agency that almost certainly followed sound research procedures and protocols while interpreting reliable satellite data.

Well hold on, because it turns out that Tech Times and the ESA did not tell the whole story!

By incorporating the geology of Antarctica into this research study and resulting article it becomes apparent that sub-glacial geothermal heat flow from volcanoes, hot springs, and major faults is the likely cause of geographically limited melting of the Nansen Glacier. The details of this geological story are as follows.

Let’s begin by redirecting our attention away from the supposedly smoking-gun satellite photos and onto the definitely smoking-gun geological heat flow photo above (Figure 1). This is a present day photo of Antarctica’s Mount Erebus, which lies along a string of volcanoes and hot springs that are associated with a 3,300 mile long actively heat emitting fault zone that crosses directly underneath the Nansen Glacier. This giant fault zone, the West Antarctic Rift (see here), is literally ripping the Antarctic Continent apart (Figure 2)."

[Crick]

I' m curious how you think the WAIS formed in the first place were the current activity the norm.

 

[Sunsettommy]

I' m curious how you think the WAIS formed in the first place were the current activity the norm.

I am curious that you suddenly go quiet about those pesky volcanoes you earlier said were not there, quoting you with bolding added:

"The boundary of the Antarctic Plate is well away from the Antarctic coastline and volcanism there would have no effect on the coastal ice sheets. Motion of the plate is quite consistent on both sides and on Antarctica itself. No subduction, no trenches, no heating. If you know of another, why don't you provide us a link?"

There are at least 138 documented Volcanoes in West Antarctica region.

You are so far of the mark, maybe just ignorant?

Ever heard of Mt. Erebus?

 

[Crick]

I have not gone quiet at all (though my several of my posts have disappeared). When I ask how you think the WAIS formed in the first place, I mean, in the face of all that volcanic heating, how did two miles of ice build up over millions of years?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

In that situation, abnormally warm water could cause the glaciers that hold back ice sheets on top of Antarctica and Greenland to collapse. That would cause massive quantities of ice to pour into the world's oceans, which could lead to extremely rapid sea-level rise around the world.
If such a scenario were to occur, current sea-level rise predictions for vulnerable cities like Miami would be far too low.

Idiots on the left are probably selling their properties down there in Miami at a loss because they don't want to drown, "IF" the glaciers that hold back ice sheets collapse....And you can bet people like Al Jazeera Gore, Warren Buffet and George Soros are there picking up that cheap property for their next million dollar mansions that use up $33,000 of electricity a year...[
