There are two types of ice in Antarctica. There are glaciers which are on land, and pack ice floating on the water. Some of the glaciers are resting on what would normally sea floor, so it gets a little confusing.
Suffice it to say the concern is with glacial melt, not with pack ice. There is some really good info on the wattsupwiththat web site, but in any case the process is very slow and a lot can happen in the next few centuries so it’s useless to get worked up like the media seems to think necessary.
ok, understood, thx - but aren’t they mainly talking about ice sheets right now? also, isn’t it normal for glaciers to constantly move, eventually into the ocean? wouldn’t the only issue be if the back-end is not getting built up?
