Antarctica Is Losing So Much Mass That It’s Actually Changing Earth’s Gravity

and Guam might tip upside down --LOL

The average INTERIOR surface temp of Antarctica is about -25degC.
NOTHING is melting there.. There may be slight evaporation due to the fact that the continent is basically a desert and can be in "drought" for long periods of time. But all the rest is hype and supposition..

Given the nearly five-fold increase in the glacial flow rate of the major streams of WAIS, its doesn't really need to melt. It can just slide off into the Southern Ocean with precisely the same effect.

Most of that shelf ice has the majority of it's weight already in the ocean. It's footings are 100s of feet down into the sea.. And I don't think there is any indication that any LAND bound ice is gonna disappear any time soon.

Tom, Alan, Billy thanks for more fine illustrations of how every single denier here is a kook-right conspiracy theorist, endlessly wetting themselves over phantom communists. Denialism isn't the cult. Right-wing bedwetting is the cult. Denialism is just one of the required beliefs of that bedwetter cult. That cult only attracts the easily terrified crowd, playing on their fears to suck them in.

Remember deniers, you failing to understand the science doesn't make it wrong. You all stink at the science, in addition to failing hard at common sense. You can keep screaming your cult conspiracy dogma on message boards, but you'll still stink at the science, which is why nobody pays any attention to you. It's not a socialist conspiracy; you're just stupid.

Can you define "Denier' for me, at least what your definition is?

I say that because I don't deny that climate change happens, nor that it is occurring right now. See, throughout the entire history of the planet, the climate has had changes between warming periods and cooling periods. More glaciation at times and less at other times.
And I am certainly not "terrified" by climate change. Through science, I understand that climate change has always existed and always will exist. The people that are terrified are the ones thinking their minuscule efforts will actually have an effect on the global climate and thus demand that we do something about it.
