Tag: Antarctic ice sheet
Researcher 'has a problem' with attributing West Antarctic Ice Sheet 'collapse' to human activity
From NASA JPL and Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, something that maybe journo-hacktivist Susanne Goldenberg should pay attention to before she writes another screed. Reports that a portion of the West Antarctic…
Flashback: "Irreversible Collapse" of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet – from 1999
Guest post by David Middleton A Geological Perspective on the “Irreversible Collapse” of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet It’s “old” news, as this publication from 1999 shows us.
Dueling press releases on ice melt – one says 'uncertainty is large' the other quantifies a number
Once again, it looks like claims of ‘consensus’ are overblown. In our previous news item we have this: …ice sheets are the largest potential source of future sea level rise…
New study: Antarctic and Greenland ice sheet melt may be natural event, no consensus on cause
Ice sheets are the largest potential source of future sea level rise – and they also possess the largest uncertainty over their future behaviour From the University of Bristol Continuous…
Good news: World’s biggest ice sheets likely more stable than previously believed – upsets previous estimates of melting and sea level
Researchers show that high ancient shorelines do not necessarily reflect ice sheet collapse millions of years ago From the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research: For decades, scientists have used ancient…
Uncertainty be damned, let's make ice and sea level projections anyway
‘A better path’ toward projecting, planning for rising seas on a warmer Earth From Princeton University, by Morgan Kelly, Office of Communications More useful projections of sea level are possible…
Modeling sea level rise is an 'uneven' proposition
From the British Antarctic Survey New projections of ‘uneven’ global sea-level rise Reporting in the journal Geophysical Research Letters researchers have looked ahead to the year 2100 to show how…
Glacially modeled snow job
From the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) Alarmism, I think maybe they are a bit unclear on the concept of how glaciers work. As snowfall varies with the…
Antarctic weight loss seems to be in the eye of the beholder
From Newcastle University New understanding of Antarctic’s weight-loss New data which more accurately measures the rate of ice-melt could help us better understand how Antarctica is changing in the light…
ICESAT Data Shows Mass Gains of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Exceed Losses
The results of ICEsat measurements are in for Antarctica, and it seems those claims of ice mass loss in Antarctica have melted now that a continent wide tally has been…
NASA: Warm Ocean Currents Cause Majority of Ice Loss from Antarctica
Breaking news from NASA and the ICEsat team, that’s their headline, not mine. This really makes all the hype over the now discredited Steig et al. paper, which attempted to…
Antarctic ice – more accurate estimates
Guest post by Verity Jones @ Digging In The Clay Cracking ice shelves make headlines, but ice loss estimates that are revised downwards don’t. While there is great hand wringing…
Why I'm not worried about Greenland's icecap right now
There’s some blogospheric carping about his statement in the JPL press release below regarding Greenland’s ice sheets:“… their cumulative loss could raise sea level by 15 centimeters (5.9 inches) by…
Antarctic ice models "not correct", sea level rise "complicated"
There’s some surprising reaction to the press release we covered on WUWT recently. Here’s some excerpts:
