(I did) To my knowledge there are no volcanoes to the west of the Peninsula that would provide sufficient heat to give the observed warming of the Peninsula, and certainly no surface ones as was suggested in the original post."<br /><br />Jonathan Shanklin<br />j.shanklin@bas.ac.uk<br />Head of Meteorology and Ozone Monitoring Unit<br />British Antarctic Survey, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0ET, England His own Survey team had discovered the volcanic vents 6 months earlier.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-15096354821805047842013-11-18T11:47:35.191-08:002013-11-18T11:47:35.191-08:00Very good points, thanks

Most of the ice caps are, of course, land based and ocean warming or atmospheric warming cannot affect.<br /><br />MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714540297202434542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-80440297738888083052013-11-18T11:34:44.025-08:002013-11-18T11:34:44.025-08:00This is quite interesting.

The climate model theory claims the ice should be lost on both sides. They point to the losses on the West as proof that the hypothesis is essentially correct.<br /><br />If global warming is not the primary cause of the melting in the west, but active volcanism is, then the puzzle is solved. It explains the asymmetry. The climate model theory that global warming is the only cause for the ice to melt in Antarctica is then proven to be invalid. At best, global warming is a second order cause, and may not be a cause at all. <br /><br />As far as the ice shelves go, there has been an increase in undersea volcanic activity in the past 30 years, particularly in the South Pacific. This warms the water directly, which then contacts the underside of the ice shelves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-41819837825634627892013-11-18T09:08:34.291-08:002013-11-18T09:08:34.291-08:00http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/11/18/deep_antar...http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/11/18/deep_antarctic_volcanoes/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-51889590358671237002013-11-18T09:03:51.785-08:002013-11-18T09:03:51.785-08:00http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/18/volcano-u...http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/18/volcano-under-antarctica_n_4295985.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142988674703954802.post-45064894353731256782013-11-18T08:20:32.810-08:002013-11-18T08:20:32.810-08:00http://www.reportingclimatescience.com/news-storie...http://www.reportingclimatescience.com/news-stories/article/-f13dffaa40.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
