Deep ice samples extracted from the glacier could help explain the string of climate-related events buffeting Western Canada
The consensus among scientists has been that while much of the globe has been getting warmer, a large part of Antarctica – the East Antarctic Ice Sheet – has actually been getting colder. Not so, say Eric Steig, a University of Washington professor of Earth and space sciences, and colleagues in Nature.
The most comprehensive effort yet to predict how global warming will affect the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has found there is little humanity can do to stop its ice shelves from melting.
Dr. Schmidt and the RealClimate team apparently do not want you to read our papers. They seem to be afraid that if you did, their claims on climate change would no longer seem so convincing.
Temperature changes reliably travel from Greenland to Antarctica over a period of 200 years
