Really? And here I thought you actually were well read. Oh dopey me! Climatologists have been attempting to REWRITE the history that they found inconvenient but if you read any legit geology website or paleoclimate site, or paleo geography site, or any archeology site, or...well I think you might get the idea. Try reading something other than the partisan nonsense you're stuck on.
All sciences dealing with the past will agree to the basics I outlined above. Now that is scientific consensus for you
And you're correct if you can't discuss things with more than a middle school knowledge basis then yes you have no point in continuing here.
For sure you are one dopey asshole. It is not just climatologists that have been measuring the melt of glaciers, and the warming of the Arctic and Antarctic. How about geologists, geophysicists, and biologists, just to name a few.
One article claiming the isostatic rebound is creating a false signal concerning the rate of ice melt is not proof that is the case. The people that did the original work will reply in time.
So tell me this (and thanks for taking the bait, you really are predictable) How can the ground be rebounding if it weren't warmer in the past with less ice upon it? For it to still be rebounding means that IT HAD TO BE HIGHER in the past. The only way I know for it to be higher is for there to be LESS ICE sitting on the subcontinent.
Or do you have a different theory?
Ok wait, I am not an alarmist, but your therory makes no sense to me. It is rebounding as the weight of ice is removed. How you assume from that, that the ground must have been higher in the past is beyond me. Well I mean of course it must have been higher at least once as we know the earth was once molten and no ice could have been there.
it is simple. You have a continent, ICE builds up as it does the ground is forced down, and out. AS the ice melts it rebounds.
It could be rebounding for the first time since the earth was formed for all we know.
I personally don't think so, but the point is you can not assume because it is rebounding that the ice must have melted in the past. Not from that factor alone anyways.
