[@waynepatterson5843]

@johnbell9069 --- But the water stays cold right up to the last bit of ice has melted and then reaches boiling point very quickly. That's why we need the ice to stabilize the ocean and land temperature, along with the importance of reflecting long range infrared rays back into space to stop us from boiling us up like lobsters! Wayne Patterson --- You're delusional. There are no unprecedented changes in the planetary temperatures. Alarmist Climate Change pseudoscience is a fraudulent pseudoscience.

There are definitely ice quakes, and depends what you mean by tsunamis… but the energy and movement of the ice and water is not dissimilar.

It's hardly a shocker that the ice is melting. Call it the beginning of an interglacial period or the end of the last glacial event, the planet is going through a phase of warming. Our species isn't helping things at all of course but the surprise shown by people who should be expecting this sort of thing to happen is, well, surprising. Not the best time to be buying oceanfront property.

My hypothesis is that the ice shelf got too long & heavy and simply 'snapped' off... Hopefully, over time it will rebuild itself. :)

[@valoriethechemist]

Your hypothesis is unfounded. There’s nothing that suggests it snapped off in the manner you suggest and there’s no evidence whatsoever of it reforming. Quite the opposite.

[@mickgatz214]

Just mother nature, but humanitie's expulsion of CO2 is just exsasperating weather patterns and thus the permafrost is melting and god knows how many past viruses, (currently unknown), lay beneath?. 👍

[@valoriethechemist]

That’s surface temperature… to meter above the ice. The actual ice temperature around the coast is only about -10°C. Adding in salinity, insulation and radiation it’s quite capable of melting in spots.

[@carelgoodheir692]

The sea water round Antartica has been warming quite a bit. That somewhat warmer water gets under the shelf and does some limited melting. The big effect comes when that melting reaches the grounding line, the points at which the ice is resting on bedrock. As ice melts there the proportion of the shelf that is floating increases. Tides jack the shelf up and down nearly twice a day and the broader floating mass is then more like to crack due to that movement.

[@jaybee5794]

Could the reason the oceans are rising be due to cloud seeding? They are creating extra rain and snow that isn’t from the moisture already here. They’ve been cloud seeding since the 1940’s, they admit to doing it.

It’s definitely on course to melt. Entirely… not this century but eventually. With just the current accelerated rise in global temperatures.

And won’t support and sort of crops or plant life for a long time as well. We will definitely need to change.

[@carelgoodheir692]

@@valoriethechemist The East Antartic ice will take thousands of years to entiely melt even if we're stupid enough to let global temperature keep going up. But the smaller West Antartic ice is a different story. It sits on the bedrock now but much of it at a level that would be below sea level if there was no ice. This means there is the prospect of warming sea water getting under some or most of it. No-one yet knows how this is going to play out and much work is going into trying to understand it. If the whole West Antartic ice sheet melted every coastal city (and much of the world's population) would need to be moved uphill so it's not a minor issue.
