NASA Discovers Mantle Plume Melting Antarctica From Below

Whee. If there is a plume there, it has been there a long time. And the ice did not start the melt we are seeing until after the GHG levels were quite high. But keep on with your nonsense if that makes you feel better. You might just look at Iceland that has a plume under it, and the only time it melts the ice is when there is an active eruption.
Wow

Old Crock is wrong ....AGAIN!!!!!!

New map of Antarctic geothermal heat suggests Steig & Mann 2009 weren’t measuring ‘global warming’

Do you tire of getting your ass handed too you?
WUWT? LOL Just as well quote from the Weekly Globe. Those temperature measurements were surface, not at the ice-rock interface. Fucking stupid article.
The paper is published... but you ignore that because of who reported it... Now that is Hack activity...

True Science doesn't give a damn who publishes it... Only that it is repeatable and measurable science unlike your CAGW bull shit...
Published where, stupid ass? WUWT is hardly a peer reviewed journal.
 
Their findings showed that generally, the energy being generated by the mantle plume is no more than 150 milliwatts per square meter—any more would result in too much melting. The heat generated under Yellowstone National Park, on average, is 200 milliwatts per square meter.

Scientists also found one area where the heat flow must be at least 150-180 milliwatts per square meter—but data suggests mantle heat at this location comes from a rift—a fracture in the Earth’s crust where heat can rise up.

Concluding, the team say the Marie Byrd Land mantle plume formed 50-110 million years ago—long before the land above was hidden by ice. Heat from it, they say, has an “important local impact” on the ice sheet—and understanding these processes will allow researchers to work out what will happen to it in the future.

NASA discovers mantle plume almost as hot as Yellowstone that's melting Antarctica from below

So, the plume has been there for over 50 million years, and the ice that is so deep there formed with it there. In winter, there is snow all over Yellowstone. Only the hottest spots melt the winter snow. And that is a very small fraction of the area of Yellowstone. And this plume is much cooler and smaller than Yellowstone. A very small forcing compared to the warmer ocean invading under the ice shelves.

And just as in Yellowstone, the plume moves and starts heating again.
These trees in Yellowstone are dead because the ground is 200F. Obviously the ground was not 200F a couple of years ago.

NASA Discovers Mantle Plume Almost as Hot as Yellowstone Supervolcano That's Melting Antarctica From Below

A mantle plume producing almost as much heat as Yellowstone supervolcano appears to be melting part of West Antarctica from beneath.

Researchers at NASA have discovered a huge upwelling of hot rock under Marie Byrd Land, which lies between the Ross Ice Shelf and the Ross Sea, is creating vast lakes and rivers under the ice sheet. The presence of a huge mantle plume could explain why the region is so unstable today, and why it collapsed so quickly at the end of the last Ice Age, 11,000 years ago.

There ya go inserting empirically observed evidence again and bursting Old Crocks bubble of BS...
 
NASA Discovers Mantle Plume Almost as Hot as Yellowstone Supervolcano That's Melting Antarctica From Below
And as it's been there for 50 million years, it can't explain the recent melt.

This is second-grade level logic, yet you and all the deniers on this thread can't grasp it. You're all really stupid human beings.

The problem? You paste-eating cult morons vote, and your vote counts as much as the vote of a non-retard.
 
And just as in Yellowstone, the plume moves and starts heating again.

Meanwhile, back in reality ....

Current Volcano Alert Level: NORMAL

Yellowstone seismicity is at normal levels compared with typical background activity.

Styles and rates of ground deformation in the Yellowstone region have been steady for the past several months. Uplift near the Norris Geyser Basin and subsidence within the caldera are both occurring a rates of a few millimeters per month. These deformation patterns are consistent with historical activity.

Speaking of a second grade cognitive ability that you fail to have..

The sub ice warming of water has been very recent in Antarctica and now they have evidence that it occurs cyclically. Just like Yellowstone the plume warms and cools with the levels of tectonic stress. Something that you do not seem to grasp.

As for the "public" display of conditions at YVO its a normal cyclical event so it would be a NORMAL. Back in 2006-2009 it was anything but normal with 3' of rise and ground temps in excess of 200 deg F. The ground temps today were 136 deg F @ 16 inches depth, so there is great variation in energy production as the plume magma rolls within..

Well, nobody "grasps" it, being it a crazy fiction that you just faked, same as everything else that you fake.

Tell us, how's the Picabo Caldera doing? Going to blow, like you said two months ago? No? You mean the earthquakes are done? Imagine that. Another totally wrong prediction from you.

So you're saying it's totally normal, except it isn't. Somehow.

Only a fraud would say something as stupid as "Ground temps were 136 deg", as that implies the whole area is like that. Honest people would report which specific temperature station it was, and link to the data, which is online. If you're not just making it all up, you'll be able to do that now.
 
And Weatherman? Your image of trees that were supposedly recently killed by 200F soil temps is shown here, and the poster dates it to ... 2007.

Dead trees and blue sky Yellowstone 2007

Busted. You're a fraud. You grabbed a picture of trees killed by the 1988 Yellowstone forest fires, and declared they were just killed by high soil temperatures.

Was your fraud deliberate, or were you just a cult moron parroting someone else's fraud?

These trees in Yellowstone are dead because the ground is 200F. Obviously the ground was not 200F a couple of years ago.

LOL

Only a hack like you would assume it means the whole area.. I specifically said the NORRIS BASIN.. But then you cant read beyond second grade level or you refuse to read and quote people DIShonestly...

Your post is still up there. It says no such thing. But no problem. As there's only a single soil sensor in the Norris Basin, let's see what it says.

Ruh-roh. It says ... 3.5C. That's a bit below 136F

Conclusion? You've been busted for open fraud as well. Again.

LOL... The sensor on that one died two months ago... I guess you don't know how to identify a dead sensor... The straight line gives it away.. Vixen Trail is surface only as well

Here is a working one...

Do you know what the F temp is?
