I think it is a far conclusion to say that if you HAD read the THREE major scientific studies linked, you would have been willing and able to discuss them.
You have not been, and are not able to.
It really is as simple as that.
Really?
The British Antarctic Survey:
British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has a long and distinguished history of carrying out research and surveys in the Antarctic and surrounding regions, undertaking most of the British research on the frozen continent. The close linking of our science programmes with essential logistics support makes us very effective in carrying out the complicated and sophisticated scientific field programmes that are necessary today.
As a major research centre of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), we:
Provide a national capability for Antarctic science and logistics
Carry out scientific research, long-term observations and surveys that cannot be done by anyone else in the UK
Provide a focus for international co-operation and programme co-ordination
Concentrate on issues fundamental to NERC’s science strategy and conservation of the Antarctic environment.
This is one recent study:
GSAC comprises eight programmes totalling 19 projects. Its components are highly interconnected so that the sum will be greater than the parts. The content makes full use of the BAS Antarctic infrastructure and builds on the successes of previous BAS research, survey and monitoring while shifting our focus to exciting new areas. The quality of the programme’s content was assured through competition and by independent, rigorous, international peer review. Carrying it out involves over 120 national and international collaborations. As opportunities arise, new scientific and technical knowledge will be transferred to the private sector for the commercial benefit of the UK. Getting the public interested and engaging them in discourse will be a major priority.

Because that doesn't really sound like they would write "an opinion piece", does it?!!
Are you absolutely sure you read this research, SSDD??!!

they were not first class papers and second they were little more than opinion pieces
