A new study done by the National Academy of Sciences claims volcanoes have been major factors in thinning the West Antarctic ice. CLICK IMAGE TO WATCH NOW
Thirteen members of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) were trapped and in danger of freezing to death when their base, Halley VI, lost power. All science suspended.
What do you know? Turns out the reason that the West Antarctic ice sheet is melting a bit is that there is a volcano under it that is active. So global warming is not to blame -- which makes sense, given that the rest of the ice sheet in Antarctica is growing at a rapid pace. Of course, the warmists want us to ignore the rest of the story salivate on the icebergs breaking off from the Pine Island glacier (thanks to volcanic activity that they want to ignore).
The facts keep putting the lie to the global warming campaign's attempts to scare the world over Antarctica.
CFACT advisor Dr. Larry Bell is amused with the latest spin from the Obama Administration and its henchmen from the politico-scientific community -- this time regarding the latest report on the relatively tiny West Antarctic ice sheet. Bell points to several key facts ignored by reporters and political hacks alike -- notably, the recently discovered 1-mile-deep rift valley and volcanic activity under the West Antarctic ice sheet and the fact that the other 90% of the Antarctic ice sheet is experiencing record high ice levels. Just further evidence that you cannot believe the White House or the mainstream media.
Can the media ignore both the global warming nature of the expedition that got itself trapped in Antarctic ice, and 2013's massive growth of Antarctic ice itself? UPDATE: The Yanks are comin'. U.S. ice breaker steaming to the rescue.
Fifty-two members of the global warming expedition which has been ice-bound off Antarctica since Christmas Eve have been airlifted to safety by a Chinese helicopter. The holiday spectacle of feckless warmists on ice should prove a lasting image.
Climate Depot describes it as a "clitanic disaster," but the global warming scientists and eco-tourists trapped in Antarctic ice held a sing-along to welcome the new year while awaiting rescue. 2013 was a year which rocked the credibility of the global warming campaign. It will take a long time for the closing image of warmists on ice to fade.
Will the dramatic spectacle of climate researchers trapped in Antarctic ice (which has expanded massively during 2013) help free the media of the false global warming ice narrative?
Is global warming going to cause the West Antarctic Ice Sheet to slide off into the ocean? While many fear this scenario, a recent study by scientists from Pennsylvania State University and the University of Texas seems to put these fears on ice. Published in the journal Science, these researchers found that a sedimentary wedge of rock and sediment tends to keep the ice sheet intact, and by doing so it allows ice to build up on the glacier and keep its grounding line in place. What this all means is that sea level rises of a few meters, [...]
