When you dig into the article, some professor at Newcastle University ran a computer model based on three scenarios and spit out a result that the world is going to end unless we “Act Now!!!”(tm). Part of the “Act Now” most likely is funding more research at Newcastle University.
We can’t let a warm Antarctica fall into the hands of China. /sarc
And they’ll never stop.
Annual average temperature: -47 F
Bring it on! I have been waiting years for my land investment in Otisberg to pay off!
The Earth is always warming up and cooling down.
I wonder what caused the ‘rapid climate change’ that ended the last Glacial Age...there were no fossil fuels being burned by man back then.
It used to be the whole Antarctica was melting, now it is just Antarctic peninsula.
This is rather small part of Antarctica.
It is the warmest part of the continent, the only part visited by cruise lines and populated by many scientific bases.
Large part of it has not been not covered by glaciers.
So they can show partly uncovered mountains and claim it is because of global warming.
Blah,blah ,blah...cons never give up the con.
Even if true — ice always melts during intraglacials. During the previous one (Eemian) sea levels were 30 feet higher than today.
Euronews to start then the science and article are pure BS.
Only 4.92 years left.
Boy, is this “scientist” late to the game.
Someone should let him know that all of the snow and ice on the entire planet has already melted, never to return.
The other “scientists” predicted that this global melting would ABSOLUTELY occur in 1995.........2005........2015
“Despite being far away from civilization, a melting Antarctic’s “disastrous” consequences will ripple across the world”
Except that nothing outside of natural cyclic variability has occurred and there is virtually no evidence that humans have anything to do with any of whatever these grifters claim might happen. Literally $Trillions have and will continue to be spent on these idiotic schemes that do nothing but impoverish everyone.
1) Irreversible
2) disastrous
3) how high the stakes are
4) rapidly warm
5) detrimental
6) crisis
7) hotter faster
8) ice shelves collapsing
9) increased coastal flooding
10) accelerated shoreline erosion
11) huge impacts on species
12) stress extreme
13) escape
14) starve
15) Doomsday
Bad Science is irreversible on any scale. Except the Flat Earthers were eventually reversed (at least some of them).
