Vast rivers and waterfalls discovered across Antarctica
'This is not in the future – this is widespread now'

Watch video: http://www.independe...y-a7691361.htmlWater is flowing across Antarctica in vast rivers, lakes and waterfalls and has been for decades, scientists have discovered.
While temporary meltwater streams have been encountered before by polar explorers like Ernest Shackleton, it was thought liquid water was relatively rare because the continent is so cold.
However a new study of aerial photography and satellite images found “widespread drainage of meltwater” as far south as 600km (375 miles) from the South Pole and as high as 1,300m above sea level – about the same height as Ben Nevis.
This included rivers of up to 120km, 80km-long lakes and waterfalls that were 120m across.
The researchers warned the amount of liquid they had found could increase the rate of melting on Antarctica above currently expected levels.
wow, so much for being fake..Boy'do I love fucking with you conservatives...
Real estate that is not usable, while some of the most useful real estate in the world goes under water.
And yet another thread destroyed by denier trolls. It's all most deniers can do these days.
Why? Well, all the facts contradict them, so they certainly can't talk about facts. If they did, they'd have to admit they're lying on behalf of their political cult.
Their solution? Shut down all adult discussion. They've been instructed to troll every thread mercilessly, to drown out any discussion of facts through mindless spamming and insults.

My goodness, did I miss something? Since when is LA near our southern border?Real estate that is not usable, while some of the most useful real estate in the world goes under water.
Good.
If LA were totally flooded, illegal would need rafts to cross the boarder.

I bought property at a higher elevation..Why don't you bedwetters stop whining and trying shut the world down? Instead, figure out how we are going to deal with NATURAL EARTH EVOLUTION.
Ruining peoples lives with regulations and salting all our fresh water with tears isn't helping.
At least advocate for something that makes sense!
Why did Time Warner, a big disseminated of AGW, decide to relocate to the waterfront?Do you think that will save you when half the planet has to be relocated? You don't think they'll come looking for your money? You don't think they'll come looking for your land?
You know what they call people who ignore data like that?
Victims.

Time Warner is extremely conservative, and does its best to bury climate news. If it shows any, it does that fake-balance thing and gives denier liars an equal voice.
So, being they're conservative, it's likely that they're counting on taxpayer subsidies and bailouts.
Time Warner owns CNN, are you saying CNN is "Conservative"?
Are you using the same metrics to measure how racist Southern redneck Democrats like Byrd and LBJ became "Conservative"?

Everyone who isn't a drooling cult imbecile says that. There's a reason they're known as "Conservative News Network."

Southern rednecks were always conservative, dumbass. What's next, telling us the Nazis were liberals? Just own up to your side's racism and thuggery. Running cover for it means that you endorse it.
Byrd reformed, and Johnson was never racist. Slimy racist cocksucks will often post a faked Johnson quote to "prove" he was racist and run cover for their own side's open racism. Deniers and racists are very similar, in the way that they rely entirely on faked data.
