At https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/unexpected-shifts-in-antarctic-ice-confuses-researchers/ar-AA1SPRvl … the glacier covering the West Antartic peninsular, the piece jutting out into the South Atlantic, changes more quickly than almost any other ice ocean system on the planet. At the same time as some parts of Antarctica show rapid melting other parts appear to increase ice volume. However, when reading the link bear in mind there are volcanoes beneath the West Antarctic peninsular and it sits in the ocean and is open to warm water travelling from the Pacific and Indian oceans into the South Atlantic. The point of the story, above, is that climate scientists are having difficulty making predictions on their hoped for melting ice in the Antarctic – both the peninsular and the east Antarctic continent. In other words, previous predictions by them have been confounded by sudden and rapid changes. Models on the Antarctic are not working. The climate scientists confess confusion but that is because the ice is not conforming to their theories. These things have been going on, in all likelihood, for hundreds and thousands of years. That is not mentioned – even if they have actually researched previous behaviour. One for reading and taking note of what is not mentioned rather than what is.
Over at https://notrickszone.com/2025/12/19/new-study-8000-years-ago-relative-sea-level-was-30-meters-higher-than-today-across-east-antarctica/ … I wonder what climate scientists might make of this. Thirty metres is a lot of water. Can it possibly be attributed to melting glaciers? That is a lot of water and as far as we know around 8000 years ago we had the 8.2 ka year event – when temperatures plunged rather than increased. Carbon dating methodology was used to arrive at the date as well as abandoned penguin rookeries – and so forth. We are told the rise in antarctic sea levels gradually fell back over the centuries – and 800 years ago it was still 1 metre higher than today. At the head of the Medieval Warm Period, at 1200AD. What is not said, though, is that it could have risen, fell back, and rose again, etc. Do they have a continuous graph of sea level in the Antarctic or do they have a series of soundings?
