"Last year, Siegert and colleagues revealed that the underbelly of the glacier -- most of which sits below sea level -- is being eroded by warm, salty sea water flowing hundreds of kilometres inland after passing through underwater "gateways"."

I was curious about that statement and had some meager time to look it up last night. Apparently the glacier fills a large draw that extends well below sea level. The scientific analysis of the effect upon SLR has already been done and it’s minimal (see my other post in this thread).

I truly despise the regression of the discipline of science, but this is what we get when there’s money funding stupidity: A preconceived conclusion to reinforce an agenda.
