Geothermal heat, internal climate responsible for Antarctica ice melting – not man-made climate change
05/24/2021 / By Cassie B.
Climate change alarmists love to point to ice melting in Antarctica as proof that humans are destroying the planet, but research shows that this may not have the link to man-made climate change that they would like to have us believe.
Radar readings taken by aircraft flying across the continent have shown that the ice loss at Antarctica is largely coming from below. The radar, which penetrated through nearly two miles of ice to create a map of the conditions beneath it, showed that the ice is melting from the bottom upward. As it melts at the base, meltwater drains away to fill subglacial lakes sitting downstream.
The British Antarctic Survey’s Tom Jordan, the lead researcher of the study, said that the melting process they observed had likely been occurring for thousands or possibly millions of years. They believe that radioactive rocks and hot water that are being spurted out from inside Earth’s crust are contributing to the melt.
