Leading climate experts tell us that the ocean is heating around Antarctica and making the ice melt. By coincidence, April 20 was also National Marijuana Day.

climate science:
hot water —> increasing evaporation —> increasing cooling —> increasing ice
see ? In climate science the warming causes the cooling…
Next they gonna tell us the ice is made out of nitrogen
I guess this special AGW induced heating only effects ice shelves, not sea ice.
That is because ice shelves are much thicker and less vulnerable to changes in water temperature
Steven,
I was just being facetious. When some ice shelf (Larsen etc) develops a crack or calves off a substantial hunk, there is much wailing and weeping amongst the climate doomsayers. And yet the Antarctic Sea ice is obviously healthy and unaffected by the same alleged man made climate induced oceanic heating that is allegedly ravaging the mighty Antarctic ice shelves.
Maybe Mount Sidley, the highest volcano in Antarctica, and the surrounding geology, needs more research to just to show that there may be other heating mechanisms at work.
any possibility that the so called melting is being caused by any of these?
