The fast melting of Antarctic ice threatens to slow deep currents in the world's oceans, adversely affecting the climate, the spread of fresh water and oxygen as well as life-sustaining nutrients for centuries, scientists have said.
According to a new study published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, deep water currents around Antarctica could slow by more than 40% in the next 30 years.
The "overturning circulation" of waters in the depths of the oceans would slow by 40% by 2050 in a high-emissions scenario, the study said, warning of repercussions that would last "for centuries to come."
New modeling cited in the study indicated rapid Antarctic ice melts driving a "substantial slowdown" of water circulation in the deepest parts of the oceans if global carbon emissions remain high.
If the model holds true, the deep ocean current will be "on a trajectory that looks headed towards collapse," said Matthew England, a climate professor at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), who coordinated the study.

They will be 100% wrong and they won’t bat an eye. They’ll just come up with new BS predictions of doom.
“”fast melting””
No word on the “fast freezing” that happens more and more each decade. Do these envirofascistnazis prepare for the coming Great Cold? Not very long ago there was a mile of ice in New York and Chicago. That ice WILL RETURN, and all we can do is adapt.
Yet another “everyone must live in fear all the time” articles.
Why are these people such idiots?
The earth has been much colder than it is now and much warmer than it is now many times.
And every time it was warmer than now ... life thrived and every time it was colder life suffered.
Warm is GOOD.
"Again?"
Why yes, too many deer and turtle farts 12,000 years started this mess that melted the Laurentide ice sheet a mile thick from where I type in the Great Lakes, we’re doomed alright.
-—Why are these people such idiots-—
They want to keep their jobs and grant money.
The climate alarmists would be a little more believable if just one of their predictions would come true. But “climate change” is not a valid theory. It doesn’t make testable predictions and doesn’t rely on evidence.

More lies from the climate cultist.
Climageddon is a 180° turn-about from the usual information found in most global warming books. In May 2006, Al Gore stated in An Inconvenient Truth that we had “10 years left to avoid a tailspin of epic proportions involving extreme weather of all kinds.” Ten years later we have missed Gore’s action targets; we are experiencing that extreme weather; and Climageddon now says we have 6 to 10 years to avoid complete irreversible global warming, which unchecked will eventually lead to extinction.

And,
Lawrence Wollersheimm is an American former Scientologist. He has been an active director of several specialized non-profit organizations since 2002 [the book solicits support]. Wollersheim sued the Church of Scientology in 1980. The story of Xenu was made public when Church materials detailing the Operating Thetan Level 3 were used as exhibits. In Wollersheim's court case, Scientology's "top secret" materials about Xenu and their beliefs in past alien invasions of Earth was filed with the Los Angeles court on his behalf and then copied from court records and published by media all over the world. Wollersheim helped co-found Factnet.org in 1993, an organization whose stated goal is to help other victims of cult abuse. He is currently a director of FactNet. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Wollersheim
Which as a tangent, leads to more on the legacy of Scientology:
In 1995, FACTNet was featured in the news due to a lawsuit regarding the seizure of FACTNet servers and files by the Religious Technology Center (RTC), a sub-organization of the Church of Scientology created to oversee the protection of its trademarks and copyrights. In August 1995, RTC lawyers went to a Denver judge alleging copyright infringement and illegal use of Scientology documents by FACTNet. A raid of two directors' homes was conducted on August 21, 1995, by two U.S. marshals and six RTC representatives, with the actual search for incriminating documents conducted by the RTC alone.[3] Witnesses of the searches testified that the marshals allowed the RTC representatives to go far beyond the scope of the order in their search for information. The marshals also failed to search the representatives before or after the search, making it possible for them to carry off discs and other documents containing critical information. FACTNet immediately accused the Church of Scientology of attempting to silence their voice by stealing and contaminating information vital to their continued attacks and lawsuits against the Church.[4][5]
In 2002, after Lawrence Wollersheim won an 8.7 million USD judgement against the Church of Scientology, FACTNet posted a statement from him on the site, saying: "The cult that vowed it would never pay me one thin dime has now paid over 86 million thin dimes."[13] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight_Against_Coercive_Tactics_Network

That overall truth is conveniently ignored or dismissed.
So much bullshit, so little time.
NASA did a study that showed Antarctica is packing on a tremendous amount of ice a few years ago.
For some reason they never repeated the study recently.
exactly, a good portion of earth’s land is under ice or tundra, a warmer planet will open those up to animals and plants. Tropical areas will move north and south.
All of this is good.
If you own land bordering a desert, if might be bad for that particular area, but its a net gain for the planet as a whole and people will simply move and adapt.
Isn’t it odd how all the dire predictions for Arctic ice melting have suddenly shifted to ANTArctic ice melting?
Why the sleight of hand?
