And Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle. . .

Usually when the sheets break off it is because of current flow shifting, or because the sheet is growing rapidly.

NY, FL, California, ok ba bye now

Ian Howat, associate professor of earth sciences at Ohio State.

I'm not going to lose sleep over the guess work of an associate professor.

I stopped reading after the first sentence.

Excellent post. I guess that’s why they call it climate change. They can’t make up their minds.

As a weather forecaster once said “If you don’t like the weather today, it will change tomorrow.”

Interesting theory that a meteor or comet hit polar cap 12,000 years ago which caused great flood. Lot of evidence to back it up. Dovetails with Plato’s timeline of destruction of Atlantis

And all this time I thought it was all those dogsled SUV's.

Suffolk County, the eastern HALF of Long Island is red. Trump country.

As is Richmond County, a.k.a. Staten Island.

If it melted at the bedrock, wouldn’t that mean the rock warmed, not the ocean?

If this is a net positive for global warming, I'm firing up my wood stove, NOW.

The WAIS is classified as a marine-based ice sheet, meaning that its bed lies well below sea level and its edges flow into floating ice shelves. The WAIS is bounded by the Ross Ice Shelf, the Ronne Ice Shelf, and outlet glaciers that drain into the Amundsen Sea.

Sounds like a job for Ghostbusters.

I agree - just “mocking” the papers understanding of God’s power.

I am merely making an observation ~ if NYC were to be suddenly annihilated, I would lose blood relatives, many friends, and acquaintances - But I could deal with it....

This "sudden" melting of the Antarctic ice would take hundreds if not thousands of years. Just warn your family to warn their great, great grandchildren to leave New York, and then go read a nice book or something and consider it fixed.

Could be worse. Could be the target of a Holy Hand Grenade.
