Antarctica: Melting moments

We posted the disturbing Original video in this link from Eric Rignot which was very worrying, now this latest clip shows, predictably that the situation has deteriorated markedly.

The clip shows that behind the latest grounding point to have been breached the topography is smooth which will allow more warm water to attack the glacier from below whilst the turbo charged storms will attack the new floating ice from above causing it to break off.

Everything we have been warning about is now happening faster than all former predictions suggested, where have you heard that before?

“The Fuse is Blown”. Glaciologist’s Jaw Dropping Account of a Shattering Moment

Climate Denial Crock of the Week,
22 January, 2015



If you’ve missed the other segments of our interview with Glaciologist Eric Rignot – do not, repeat, do not, miss this one.

Rignot was a co-author of the “holy shit moment” paper from last spring, showing that large areas of the West Antarctic Ice sheet are now in “irreversible decline”.

That news made for one of my most harrowing videos of the last year, which you can, and should view if you have not – below the fold.




I’m keeping these clips from our interviews minimally edited – I want the raw video to speak for itself to current readers, and to historians, who will undoubtedly understand all too well why we were peeling our jaws off the floor after this one.
