Antarctica lost 3 trillion tonnes of ice in blink of an eye

"We have long suspected that changes in Earth’s climate will affect the polar ice sheets. Thanks to the satellites our space agencies have launched, we can now track their ice losses and global sea level contribution with confidence,"....

West Antarctica is currently bearing the brunt of this loss, as its glacial ice shelves have been melted from below by warming deep ocean water. According to the study, the rate of loss in that part of the content has increased from 53 billion tonnes per year in the 1990s, up to the current rate of 159 billion tonnes per year. The Antarctic Peninsula - the portion of the continent that reaches out for the southern tip of South America - has seen an increase from an average of 7 billion tonnes per year, up to 33 billion tonnes per year in that same time period.

Of course, this means nothing to idiot global heating deniers.

You would think that at some point this redistribution of wieght toward the equater would slow the turn of the earth slightly. It is likely the cause of the increased volcanic activity in the leat. Distubibng shit, glad I am old!

Typical warmist ignorance who doesn't even read the Abstract of the Nature paper.

How many windmills should we build to bring it back?
Do they have to produce useful amounts of power?
Or can we save ourselves simply by building them?

We know the earth goes thru heating and cooling cycles but it isn't man made. We also know that the sun is hot as hell. (Something global warming nuts have never considered)

Meanwhile you just overlooked the stupid headline of the thread, it is a LIE!

The Author in the link wrote a HYPERBOLIC headline that is a bald faced lie!

"Antarctica lost 3 trillion tonnes of ice in blink of an eye"

The very first paragraph in the linked article shows very different about those same 3 Trillion tonnes:

"Wednesday, June 13, 2018, 5:46 PM - Antarctica has lost trillion tonnes of ice to global warming over the past quarter of a century, according to a new study, and that loss has been accelerating in recent years, to triple the rate that was seen prior to 2012."

We know this because the same scientists who are raising the alarm about global warming discovered all of that and taught it to us.
also know that the sun is hot as hell. (Something global warming nuts have never considered)
The scientist who taught us that never considered that? What an odd thing to say...

Are you high, son?

Still waiting on that single piece of observed, measured evidence that supports the mann made climate change hypothesis over natural variability?

The wait goes on...and on....and on...and on....

Numan,

here is the Abstract of the paper:

"Abstract
The Antarctic Ice Sheet is an important indicator of climate change and driver of sea-level rise. Here we combine satellite observations of its changing volume, flow and gravitational attraction with modelling of its surface mass balance to show that it lost 2,720 ± 1,390 billion tonnes of ice between 1992 and 2017, which corresponds to an increase in mean sea level of 7.6 ± 3.9 millimetres (errors are one standard deviation). Over this period, ocean-driven melting has caused rates of ice loss from West Antarctica to increase from 53 ± 29 billion to 159 ± 26 billion tonnes per year; ice-shelf collapse has increased the rate of ice loss from the Antarctic Peninsula from 7 ± 13 billion to 33 ± 16 billion tonnes per year. We find large variations in and among model estimates of surface mass balance and glacial isostatic adjustment for East Antarctica, with its average rate of mass gain over the period 1992–2017 (5 ± 46 billion tonnes per year) being the least certain."

Notice the bolding, do you understand it?
