Bedrock in West Antarctica rising at surprisingly rapid rate

Bedrock in West Antarctica rising at surprisingly rapid rate
June 21, 2018, The Ohio State University
Antarctic ice sheet is melting, but rising bedrock below could slow it down
 
The earth is rising in one part of Antarctica at one of the fastest rates ever recorded, as ice rapidly disappears and weight is lifted off the bedrock, a new international study has found.

The findings, reported in the journal Science, have surprising and positive implications for the survival of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), which scientists had previously thought could be doomed because of the effects of climate change.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This will mean lower rate of basal infiltration of seawater, reducing basal separation as the ice lifts, but it also is an indication that melting is occurring faster than previously estimated.

He said That was going to happen because of the added weight of those new US Marines going to Guam.

But with climate the alarmist always forget/ignore  the "Yang"

Just a bit of isostatic rebound. Been happening in Canada for 10K years.

Does that mean I'll be able to move there soon and escape this heat?
