Antarctica's hottest temperature ever

:roll:

The sea-level rise due to Antarctica has been estimated to be 0.25 mm per year from 1993–2005, and 0.42 mm per year from 2005 to 2015. All datasets generally show an acceleration of mass loss from the Antarctic ice-sheet, but with year-to-year variations.

That's a 70% increase in less than 10 years....for those who suck at math.

Antarctic Ice Loss Tripled, from near zero to an extremely tiny number! (Nobody mention those volcanoes)


Quick — tax the magma
It’s another round of Antarctic Doom about next to nothing. In April Antarctica’s ice was melting five times faster than usual. Now it’s losing ice three times faster in the last five years than the 15 before that! What you won’t hear is how the Antarctic ice cap has 29 million cubic kilometers of ice and has been there for 30 million, mostly warmer, years. You also won’t hear how Antarctica was warmer in Roman Times, or that the Antarctic Peninsula has cooled by almost 1 degree.
You also won’t hear a word about any volcanoes
The new paper has zero mentions of the word. But other scientists have published plenty of papers describing how the West Antarctic zone is being warmed from below by 1200 degrees of magma. According to scientist Dustin Schroeder and co, it is as if the Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctic is sitting on a “stovetop burner”.[1] His words. Thwaites Glacier,, smack in the middle of the warming is being melted from below by geothermal heat. Then there is the large blob of superheated rock 60 miles below West Antarctica. The researchers use the phrase “like a blow-torch”…. Capping it off, only [...]

[h=2]Majority Of East Antarctic Stations Show Cooling Or Stable Temperature Trends[/h]By P Gosselin on 31. January 2020
By Kirye and Pierre Gosselin A few days ago we looked at the Antarctic peninsula stations and saw that over the past 2 decades 13 of 13 of these stations showed cooling trends. Today we look at 12 stations located at the eastern side of Antarctica, where temperatures are colder: Below the stations’ data from […]

Thwaites Glacier sits right over a concentration of volcanoes.
Temperatures in most of Antarctica are stable or falling.

But... I thought the volcanos were warming it!

Oh, that was a different thread and different denier blogs.

The volcanoes are in West Antarctica, including Thwaites Glacier. The rest of the continent is volcano free, and is not warming.
If you kept up you would not be so confused.

I take it you've conceded on Antarctica. Glaciers are doing fine.

[h=2]New Study: Greenland’s Largest Glacier Has Rapidly Thickened Since 2016…Fueled By 1.5°C Regional Ocean Cooling[/h]By Kenneth Richard on 17. February 2020
[h=4]Greenland’s largest glacier (Jakobshavn) has quite abruptly thickened since 2016. The thickening has been so profound the ice elevations are nearly back to 2010-2011 levels. The nearby ocean has cooled ~1.5°C – a return to 1980s-era temperatures.[/h]The world’s glaciers have not been following along with the CO2-driven catastrophic melting narrative.
[h=4]Alaska[/h]For example, in a study of 50 Alaskan glaciers for the warming period between 1972-2012, researchers (McNabb and Hock, 2014) found there was

“…no corresponding change in the number of glaciers retreating nor do we see corresponding acceleration of retreat rates. To the contrary, many glaciers in the region have advanced…”

[h=6]Image Source: McNabb and Hock, 2014[/h][h=4]Antarctica[/h]In the Southern Hemisphere, an accumulating collection of (29) referenced studies (Lüning et al.,2019) indicate that not only has the Southern Ocean, Antarctic Peninsula, West Antarctica, and East Antarctica been cooling or not warming in recent decades, but many regional glaciers have begun advancing again.

[h=6]Image Source: Lüning et al.,2019[/h][h=4]Greenland[/h]Greenland’s ice sheet mass losses have significantly decelerated since 2013 – a reversal from the rapid retreat from the 1990s to 2012 driven by cloud forcing and the NAO (Ruan et al., 2019).
The 47 largest Greenland glaciers also experienced a “relatively stable” period of rather insignificant retreat from 2013 to 2018 (Andersen et al., 2019).

Only 21 of the 47 Greenland glaciers retreated in 2018, 12 advanced, and the other 14 showed no trends in either direction (Polar Portal, 2019).
Greenland’s largest glacier, Jakobshavn, earned headlines in 2019 for it’s surprising and non-predicted rapid thickening in recent years.

[h=6]Image Source: BBC, 2019[/h][h=4]New Study[/h]A new study (Joughin et al., 2020) finds that the Jakobshavn glacier thickening that began in 2016 has continued apace, and ice elevation has now nearly completely returned to 2010/2011 amplitudes.
The authors attribute much of the glacier advance to the rapid 1.5°C ocean cooling impacting the region in recent years.
Ocean temperatures have returned to 1980s-era levels.
