Here is another factor that might be contributing to the thinning of some of the AntarcticaÂ’s glaciers: volcanoes.
This is the western part. Just where the thinning has occurred. Not only doe the volcanoes warm the waters the ash on the ice causes greater heat absorption. Seems there is little to no volcanic activity in the rest of the Antarctic where the ice is thriving.
Seems that you have not the faintest idea of what you are talking about.
Study Busts Antarctica's Chill On Global Warming : NPR
All Things Considered, January 21, 2009 · Antarctica was seemingly the only continent on Earth that had not been warming up, as far as scientists could tell. But now a new study finds that large parts of the southern continent have in fact been getting warmer.
Researchers are particularly interested in Antarctica's fate because the coastlines of the world would be obliterated if Antarctic ice melted away and raised global sea level.
Old Rocks, why are you linking to an article that itself references a study that we have already disproven in here in another thread? I believe you participated in that thread - you certainly read it, and within that very thread the "new" Antarctic study was shown as utilzing false data estimates. And yet here you are now, attempting to promote that falsity in here yet again.
By doing so, you are simply providing further proof of the global warming junta's inability to approach this issue with any semblance of credible and non-biased discourse. Just look at that last line you cite - "coastlines of the world would be obliterated if Antarctic ice meleted away..." Yes, I imagine if the entire continent of Antarctica melted away, there would be some raising of sea levels - and yet, NO study has suggested all of Antarctica is melting away. You plug an NPR slant, posting it in here as credible science???
Once again, shame on you.
If you wish to participate in discussions of climate, do so with principled honesty - otherwise, I will continue to ignore your participation, as it simply warrants no more than that.
