Doesn’t fit the narrative. Must be suppressed.

"The challenge for scientists now is to understand the conditions required to make that (i.e. Thwaites Glacier ice sheet thicker) possible."

Simple. Eliminate all human beings from earth. Well, maybe leave 100 million to 500 million elites around.

Five thousand years ago would be in the Minoan warm period IIRC. Or what is also known as the Late Bronze Age. A time of great human achievement that laid the foundation for what we are today.

Thwaites Glacier was at least 35 meters thinner in the last 5000 years and took a minimum of 3000 years to reach its current size.

The earths plates are always on a slow move every landscape changes over the years some deserts were tropical.

In 2000 million years California will be near Alaska thank God.

Using the logic of the authors (global warming causes glaciers to melt), then the earth was warmer 5000 years ago than it is now. Isn’t it odd that the word ‘warmer’ isn’t even mentioned in the article?

This is great news! The earth was warmer then, and mankind survived!

The search for Earth’s hidden mountains
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20230605-the-hidden-mountains-lurking-deep-within-our-planet

Zaria Gorvett
5th June 2023
The deep Earth contains vast mountain ranges with peaks up to four times the height of Everest. But no one knows why.

“One idea is that the mountains are parts of the lower mantle that have been superheated due to their proximity with Earth’s incandescent core. While the mantle can reach 3,700C (6,692F), this is relatively mild – the core can achieve atom-bending highs of 5,500C (9,932F) – not far off the temperature at the surface of the Sun. The hottest parts of the core-mantle boundary, it is suggested, may become partially molten – and this is what geologists see as ULVZs.

“Alternatively, the deep-Earth mountains could be made from a subtly different material to the surrounding mantle. Incredibly, it’s thought that they could be the remains of ancient oceanic crust which disappeared into its depths, eventually sinking down over hundreds of millions of years to settle just above the core.

“In the past, geologists have looked to a second puzzle for clues. The deep-Earth mountains tend to be found near other mystery structures: enormous blobs, or large low-shear velocity provinces (LLSVPs). There are just two: an amorphous lump called “Tuzo” beneath Africa, and another known as “Jason” beneath the Pacific. They are thought to be truly primeval, possibly billions of years old. Again, no one knows what they are, or how they got there. But their close proximity to the mountains has led to the belief that they’re somehow linked.”
