NASA Discovers Mantle Plume Almost as Hot as Yellowstone Supervolcano That's Melting Antarctica

A mantle plume producing almost as much heat as Yellowstone supervolcano appears to be melting part of West Antarctica from beneath.

Researchers at NASA have discovered a huge upwelling of hot rock under Marie Byrd Land, which lies between the Ross Ice Shelf and the Ross Sea, is creating vast lakes and rivers under the ice sheet. The presence of a huge mantle plume could explain why the region is so unstable today, and why it collapsed so quickly at the end of the last Ice Age, 11,000 years ago.

Oh my, in Newsweak!

Ping.

You mean Al Gore was wrong, and it’s not melting because
of the cow population in the US?

[Gay State Conservative]

Well,well,well! Of course Governor Moonbeam and that pig billionaire (Steyer?) will have an explanation...something about NASA having been taken over by racist,sexist homophobes.

[bmwcyle]

NASA and Newsweek, I don’t believe either.

[b4me]

well they know there is heat in the earth and it will come out one way or another.

Caused no doubt by the deplorables' ready access to the evil semiautomaticassaultmachineguns. Take away our guns and force us to take public transit and the all of the world's ills will be cured.

We’ve known for years that ocean volcanoes spew methane and HEAT. Melting from beneath? Duh...

[jughandle]

No, Newsweek, you got it wrong AGAIN. Those hot plumes come from the exhaust pipes of vehicles progressives don’t like.

[Londo Molari]

This was created BECAUSE of global warming! Man-made mantle melting (MMM).

[Joe 6-pack]

Have they identified the oil company responsible for it so they can start levying punitive fines?

[paint_your_wagon]

They’ll blame it on fracking, just wait for it.

I’ve been driving my cars a lot lately...I hope I haven’t upset mother earth’s balance...

[KSCITYBOY]

btt

[I want the USA back]

So, Nature is doing this, not car exhaust!

The presence of a huge mantle plume could explain why the region is so unstable today,...

Of course, the presence of the buried UFO gravitational engines going critical next to the huge mantle plume might also partially account for the observed temperature changes. Maybe that's why Al Gore visited there followed by the Head of the Orthodox Church....../s /ct

There must be a heck of a lot of conservatives in SUVs buried down there.

Man-made global warming now causes mantle plumes, and the solution is big government control over every aspect of our lives. Unregulated humans are far more destructive of the earth’s climate than we would have guessed a mere 30 years ago.

Trump’s fault.
