Hot Magna, Not Global Warming

The magna is very hot,
and, the Ice is melting from the heat
NOT global warming !!!

Multiple NASA Studies

Confirm Bedrock Heat Flow

Behind Melting Polar Ice,

Not Global Warming

In what amounts to dissension from National Aeronautics
and Space Administration (NASA) climate change policy,
a series of just-released studies by working-level scientists
prove that geological and not atmospheric forces
are responsible for melting of Earth’s polar ice sheets.

A review of these studies and their significance relative
to what force or forces control the climate and climate-related events
of Earth’s polar regions is as follows.

NASA Antarctica Study October 30, 2015

This research study authored by NASA Glaciologist Jay Zwally
concluded that Antarctica is gaining, not losing,
ice mass and thereby challenging the conclusions
of many previous studies, most importantly the Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 2013 report
(see the quote from the study below).

“A new NASA study says that an increase in
Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago
is currently adding enough ice to the continent
to outweigh the increased losses from its thinning glaciers.

“The research challenges the conclusions of other studies,
including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC)
2013 report, which says that Antarctica is overall losing land ice.

The conclusions of this NASA study were immediately challenged
by numerous climate activist groups and biased media outlets (see here).

These challenges have since been proven incorrect for several reasons.

Statements by NASA Glaciologist Jay Zwally concerning
his soon-to-be-published Antarctic follow-up study
reconfirm that Antarctica is gaining, not losing ice.

The results of this follow-up study are bolstered
by two other NASA research studies.

The first, dated January 1, 2018, shows that East Antarctica
has for many years been accumulating huge amounts of snow
that compact into ice and increasing overall ice mass (see here).

The second NASA study released on July 19, 2018,
showed that the atmosphere above the Antarctic Continent
has been continuously cooling and not warming for many years (see here).

Obviously, it’s impossible to melt Antarctica’s glaciers
via atmospheric warming when the atmosphere is not warming.

Lastly, a NASA study dated Feb. 20, 2018, concludes that outflow
of East Antarctic glaciers into the ocean is stable and not increasing (see here).

This is proof that East Antarctica’s ice mass is not being diminished by glacial outflow into adjacent oceans.

Bottom line, research by NASA scientists clearly shows
that the well-documented ice loss in West Antarctica
is more than accommodated by ice gains in East Antarctica.

Contrary to hundreds of pro-melting articles,
Antarctica’s ice mass is increasing!

NASA Antarctica Study November 7, 2017

This research study entitled “Hot News from the Antarctic Underground“ investigated West Antarctica’s subglacial geology.

It substantiates many previous research studies that have documented
this region’s subglacial high-bedrock heat-flow, active faulting,
and prevalent volcanism.

Recent research by the University of Rhode Island scientists
confirms the premises of a previous Climate Change Dispatch article
that subglacial, volcanic heat-flow is melting West Antarctica’s
Pine Island Glacier (see here).

Many previous Climate Change Dispatch articles have reviewed
West Antarctica’s subglacial mantle plume and the world-class
fault system that is acting to bottom-melt this region’s glacial land
sea ice (see here, here, and here).

NASA Greenland Study August 1, 2018

The results of this research study illustrated in Figure 2 confirm
the very high geothermal bedrock heat-flow from Greenland’s massive subglacial Mantle Plume, which was originally documented
in four previous research studies (see here, here, here, and here).

A geothermal heat-flow cause for the melting of Greenland’s ice sheet
has been the focus of numerous Climate Change Dispatch articles (see here, here, here, and here).

In summary, the NASA studies mentioned in this article
have accelerated the ongoing demise of the once one-hundred-percent
-settled-science status of global warming theory.

It is now abundantly clear that even respected mainstream
NASA geologists and glaciologists are advocating
that formerly underappreciated geological forces working in concert
with atmospheric forces are responsible for polar ice cap melting.

Here we note that in many cases these geological forces are dominant
and, in some cases, the complete cause of modern-day
and ancient polar ice cap melting

Knowing this brings into question other aspects of supposedly
100 percent settled climate dogma.

Specifically, that man-made global warming is the root cause
of other supposedly unnatural polar ice cap events
such as alteration of marine and land animal migration patterns,
anomalous plankton blooms, chemical alteration
of adjacent ocean waters, alteration of polar area ocean currents,
and changes in meteorological patterns.

Many of these events are more likely the result of, or strongly influenced by, geologically induced heat and chemically charged heated fluid flow
at the base of polar ice sheets or in adjacent oceans.

Lastly, there is a quiet revolution occurring within NASA
that will play out within the next year or two ending
in the complete reconstruction of global warming theory.

The remodeled version will reflect the now proven
and significant climate influence of geological forces
as per the 2014 Plate Climatology Theory.
