Global Climate Change Ain't the Only Thing Causing This to Melt

[westwall]

Longknife, do you actually intend to suggest that vulcanism or geothermal heat is responsible for anything more than some of the melting taking place on the Thwaites Glacier? If so, for what other phenomena would you credit geothermal heat?

Probably because there is no earthly way a even a 10 degree rise could affect the glacier. It's simply so damned cold down there that the surface temp AVERAGES -15C, so your pathetic one degree increase is going to do what? Exactly? How does -14C compare to -15C?

Nat, try reading the freaking study. Don't just go by the dishonest headline that a kook right propaganda source tacked on.

You mean like you do every freakin day!

Why is this not in the politics forum? There are no allowances for non-human heat sources in AGW theology and for that matter most known human sources of warming:

Asphalt and Tar are black because they absorb all but infrared photons and thereby directly convert light to heat. That is credible evidence of localized AGW but it is not cited as a problem.

Glass is opaque to infrared. That is what makes greenhouses possible. This too is uncited evidence of AGW but it too is unused in these debates.

I think this is solid evidence that the AGW/climate change crowd a pack or perhaps a PAC of paid and unpaid PR shills for the "alternative" energy industry.

Why is WHAT not in the politics forum? Vulcanism in Antarctica?

The phrase "localized AGW" is an oxymoron.

Greenhouses do not work by blocking outgoing infrared. They work by trapping heated air. You need to update your info. The hypothesis you cite was abandoned decades back.

You have no solid evidence of anything.

Three certain things in life:

1) Death

2) Taxes

3) The AGW climate k00ks sticking to THEIR science only.




In this case, the volcano's are clearly ejecting frozen lava!!!

If you answered this question, I didn't catch it. Are you the lineman in your avatar getting his brains fried?

You haven't got one IOTA of evidence to support what you say you silly person! Earth is NOT a greenhouse! It's not a closed system! Never has been, never will be.

You still haven't explained how -14C is different than -15C as regards melting.

This can only mean that ManMade Global Warming is causing the undersea volcanoes.

The oceans ate all the manmade global warming, so this is like an after dinner burp

Same way it's causing avalanches on MT Everest -- modern CO2 has magical properties
