"The cultists have been screaming that the warmer temperatures in west Antarctica were proof of human-caused global warming. Nope. There's a volcano down there." --Wake the flock up
And see what is buried under the ice?
"There is some... breathing room: The complete collapse of west Antarctica won't happen too quickly - it will be hundreds if not a thousand years from now - slower than some of the most dire predictions"
Pfffft! The fart mist is choking me.
"Polar history may point to wet future; Study: Seas rose 16 ft. from melting" by Seth Borenstein, Associated Press | March 19, 2009
WASHINGTON - New information on Antarctica's regularly melting distant past is giving scientists a glimpse into what might be a flooded future as the planet warms up.
(Blog editor is so tired of the unceasing, agenda-pushing lie; also see Ocean Farts Causing Global Warming and associated links within)
The West Antarctic ice sheet collapsed periodically between 3 million and 5 million years ago, adding more than 16 feet to global sea level, according to the first examination of soil cores far below the surface of the Ross ice shelf. Also, new computer models suggest that warmer waters nearby attacked the ice from below, triggering those collapses.
And WE KNOW WHY it is WARMER, don't we, readers?!
And since the MSM is OMITTING VITAL INFORMATION here, WHAT ELSE are they OMITTING and on HOW MANY ITEMS (turns out, it is every single thing because every item is in the paper for an agenda-pushing reason, not as "news" for you)
Both findings appear in studies published today in the journal Nature.
And as we all know, Nature would never tell a lie.
"What we're seeing in the past would lead us to believe that we are on track for losing parts of the West Antarctic ice sheet," said Tim Naish, director of the Antarctic Research Centre at Victoria University in New Zealand and leader of the study that looked at dirt cores.
Yeah, because of VOLCANOES DOWN THERE!!!!
The West Antarctic ice sheet is roughly the size of the American Southwest. In recent years, nearby smaller chunks have disintegrated and others are close to collapsing. They are being monitored. But those events are nothing compared to the massive melt of the entire region that the researchers studied.
There is some hope, or at least breathing room: The complete collapse of west Antarctica won't happen too quickly - it will be hundreds if not a thousand years from now - slower than some of the most dire predictions, the studies' authors said. One paper suggested that temperatures would have to rise 9 degrees to trigger a complete collapse in West Antarctica, although the study authors said that was a rough estimate. Leading global scientists have suggested a 9-degree temperature rise is a possibility by 2100.
The type of melting triggered by warmer ocean water is incredibly difficult to stop or reverse, said University of Massachusetts geosciences professor Robert DeConto, co-author of the modeling study. And the climate around West Antarctica is warming faster than anywhere else in the world, Naish said, referring to earlier research....

So what are we to conclude when the MSM holds back information that we all know about, readers? How am I to ever trust the smelly sheet of papers on my desk in the morning?
