“if it were to melt”
A big if. Two can play this game: “if Antarctica were to accumulate land ice more than melts elsewhere, it could lead to a dangerous drop in ocean levels.”
As with so many other claims of AGW, the “settled science” of Antarctica losing land ice has been proven false; see:
This almost has to be the case. It is well known that the continent has more sea ice (which poses some of its own risks, since sea ice will calve). From where does the sea ice come? It come from land ice moving into the sea. Climatologists invoked all kinds of special explanations to argue simultaneously that Antarctica was gaining sea ice while losing land ice. In hindsight, no special explanations are necessary. It is both gaining sea ice and gaining or at least not losing land ice.
People laugh when I tell them that Antarctica is the largest desert on earth.
By definition it is, because it gets virtually NO precipitation. And hasn't for countless millennia.
Unless...GOD put it there! Ooooh...
Again I think that environwhackos HAVE to be "young earthers".
If Antarctica losing ice is a "BIG f'ing deal", then earth can't be THAT old.
