Well there is supposed to be a 4-sided pyramid (similar to Gaza but bigger) and also some kind of large underground base for UAP.
What is there? I dunno. Sometime after Operation Highjump, It was decided that folks like us are no longer permitted to go there. It could be an intergalactic puppy farm for all I know.
And from images of ice cascading into the sea, you genuinely drew the conclusion that Antarctica would be completely ice-free in less than 12 years?
So, nobody actually told you that, you just decided it was true after seeing video of ice falling into the sea. But that decision was firm enough in your mind to cause you to believe that, since there is still some ice in 2023, the doom-sayers of the Discovery channel were wrong and we had nothing to worry about?
Fascinating. I wish I had the ability to make those kinds of amazing leaps of reasoning on subjects I know absolutely nothing about and then believe them hard enough to post snarky shit in public.
Yeah, that wording is clunky. I guess, according to the article, the ice is known to melt and return in a cyclical pattern every year. This year almost a million square miles of ice did not form as expected.
Right now, it's winter in the southern hemisphere. Sea ice should be expanding around Antarctica, but it's doing so much less than previous years. It's so bad there's a chance there won't be any sea ice by the time it's mid summer there, in December/January/February. If that happens, there's nothing to stop the land glaciers from slipping into the sea and significantly raising sea levels worldwide. Could be like 10 feet of sea level rise depending on what happens. (Thwaites Glacier has been named in many articles as especially precarious and able to contribute 10 feet on its own.)
I share your concern over the risks posed by the loss of sea ice. However, per the Thwaites Glacier Collaboration, even if the entire glacier were to collapse it would amount to around a 65cm rise of sea level, and the majority of that would come in the 22nd and 23rd century.
Ok, cool. idk. Was just referencing stuff like this, from Wired: "If it totally melts, the Thwaites Glacier, aka the Doomsday Glacier, could add 10 feet to sea levels. Sea ice protects Thwaites and other glaciers because it acts like a buffer, absorbing the energy of winds and waves that would otherwise erode them."
