Face it, Antarctic ice is melting

 

A study from the University of Leeds confirms that ice melt in Antarctica is happening.

And it's NOT because of under-ice volcanism, either.

There really isn't any controverting evidence against the reality of global warming, but skeptics constantly try to spin it as something other than what it is. And that's distracting a lot of people from what needs to be done.

So, to sum up, here's an article about the study.

Scientists count huge melts in many protective Antarctic ice shelves. Trillions of tons of ice lost.

"Four dozen Antarctic ice shelves have shrunk by at least 30% since 1997 and 28 of those have lost more than half of their ice in that time, reports a new study that surveyed these crucial "gatekeepers'' between the frozen continent's massive glaciers and open ocean.

Of the continent's 162 ice shelves, 68 show significant shrinking between 1997 and 2021, while 29 grew, 62 didn't change and three lost mass but not in a way scientists can say shows a significant trend, according to a study in Thursday's Science Advances."

This is not good. It's part of the whole pattern of not-goodness associated with climate change.

We need more of this, not less
