At https://phys.org/news/2026-10-massive-ice-shelf-buttressed-age.html … we are told a marine ice shelf buttressed the glaciers of the last Ice Age. Specifically, during the Late Glacial Maximum. Is this really evidence of an expanded ice sheet, as they assume, per mainstream thinking, or is this something more dramatic. The northern boundary of an ice sheet that stopped short of the current north pole. It has been suggested by some maverick scientists that during the LGM the north pole was between Greenland and mainland Canada. If so it would account for the southern extent of the ice sheet to at least as far as the great lakes – formed by the meltwaters in the aftermath. It would also explain all those lakes and ponds you see out of an aircraft window when you fly over this part of Canada.
The authors found evidence of an ice shelf in the vicinity of the northern polar region and transplanted that discovery, some while ago, to the south pole in the modern world. Will the ice sheet collapse as swiftly as it did at the end of the Late Glacial Maximum where ice cores on Greenland show a step change in temperature. A warmer world which may just have been regional warmth as the north pole migrated northwards. It was accompanied by a step change in sea level as well, which can also be attributed to a movement of water – rather than the simplistic explanation it was all down to a shrinking ice sheet. Hence, the answer to the author’s scare story might just be – no it won’t unless there is once again a change in the location of the poles. Using real field evidence from a different study in order to spread modern climate change theory is a sign they are becoming desperate to keep the message online or they might start to lose their hedge fund cash bonanza.
Another study, see https://phys.org/news/2026-10-forgotten-samples-greenland-cold-war.html … the site of a cold war US military base in Greenland was ice free 416,000 years ago, it would seem. That is a long time ago and might also require a movement of the north pole in order to explain it. In fact, we are told the pole, or ice sheet would have had to retreat by over 60 miles for that to happen. Not that they suggest it did, only that the planet would need to warm up enough to achieve the same result. The evidence is derived from sea floor sediments, once again.
