From DailyMail.com, May 28, 2019...
An ancient divide in the rocks beneath East and West Antarctica is controlling the flow of water under the Ross Ice Shelf and the rates at which parts of the ice melt.
The boundary was discovered using a new, plane-mounted detector which can gather magnetic and gravitational data on the ice shelf as it flies around.
In addition, the researchers also discovered that a patch of open waters in the Ross Sea that cools the ocean in the winter can also lead to significant warming and local ice melt in the summertime.
Together, the findings highlight the importance of local ocean currents in the future retreat of the Antarctic ice shelf.

But variations in local climate will have a big impact on how fast the front edge of the ice shelf melts. Local? not GLOW-BALL?..............

Hmmmm. They were indicating something about large masses and I went straight to the head gore-on his own self.

Uh-oh, this sounds like something that only a large tax increase can fix.

"
Negotiating an underwater tunnel [beneath the ice] to gain the island's interior, those aboard U-33 are amazed to discover a tropical prehistoric world kept warm by volcanic forces.Here dinosaurs that should be long extinct live and roam, as do a curious race of humanoid savages that appear to exhibit all the various phases of Man's evolutionary development. To survive long enough to repair and replenish the U-boat, wartime enemies must put aside their differences and cooperate with one another. But not everyone is playing from the Kumbaya songbook...

Wouldnt in arguably take years of research to conclude how a newly discovered geological feature affects politically correct global warming?

I don’t see this as being supportive to the man-made global warming hoax. I see it as pointing out yet another NATURAL mechanism that could potentially melt ice in the region, and perhaps elsewhere.
