NASA Has More Evidence Volcanic Activity Is Heating Up Antarctica’s Ice Sheet

...And here we thought global warming would cause the oceans to rise.

"Scientists tend to worry more about future global warming’s effect on Antarctic ice sheet. NASA glaciologist Eric Rignot said western ice sheet collapse is “unstoppable” and could dramatically raise sea levels"

"Earlier this year, Scottish researchers found 91 previously unidentified volcanoes under the Antarctic ice sheet, including one that’s some 13,000 feet tall.

If one of these volcanoes were to erupt it could further destabilise west Antarctica’s ice sheets,” Robert Bingham,a study co-author, told The Guardian. “Anything that causes the melting of ice – which an eruption certainly would – is likely to speed up the flow of ice into the sea.

“The big question is: how active are these volcanoes? That is something we need to determine as quickly as possible,” Bingham said."

Mav,

Good find, and a great example of exactly what all this nonsense is about.

There are volcanoes, great. What can we do about them? Nothing. BUT, let's spend a billion dollars finding out what we can do nothing about. Makes perfect sense.
