Scientists at the British Antarctic Survey say that the melting of the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf in Antarctica has suddenly slowed right down in the last few years, confirming earlier research which suggested that the shelf's melt does not result from human-driven global warming.
The Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica and its associated sea ice shelf is closely watched: this is because unlike most of the sea ice around the austral continent, its melt rate has seemed to be accelerating quickly since scientists first began seriously studying it in the 1990s.
Originally they thought that the melting was due to warming of the water by global warming. Now it appears more likely to be due to climate variability, which means natural variability.
On climate science and all those leaks. | Pointman'sClimate science is a very young but fascinating multi-disciplinary field of research. It’s actually in its infancy and that has been needlessly prolonged by an arrogant fixation that we can somehow already predict the climate for decades ahead, even before we actually understand how it works, never mind about being sure what are the basic driving forces behind it. It’s for that simple reason, the catastrophic predictions of what it would do have turned out to be so wide of the mark.
Can We Really Call Climate Science A Science? - ForbesAbout a year ago, I attended a debate between a noted warmist and skeptic. They agreed only on one thing: Climate science is in its infancy. We are just beginning to understand the climate. When we look back, we will understand how little we really understood and how wrong our first findings were. This is the way science is created.
Just out of curiosity, is this from the same group of scientists trying to prove the ice sheet is disappearing that have been stuck in the disappearing ice sheet and the ones who know have their rescue boat also stuck in the disappearing ice sheet?Originally they thought that the melting was due to warming of the water by global warming.

Ah...so its a different set of scientists. So...the scientists that you laud that are working in the snow have claimed "the melting of the Pine Island Glacier ice shelf in Antarctica has suddenly slowed right down in the last few years, confirming earlier research which suggested that the shelf's melt does not result from human-driven global warming."No it was a group of scientists who were studying global warming but had to go to work in the snow, silly I know you'd think the fact it was snowing would disprove what they were working on.

Apparently THEY have proven that the whole man made AGW **** is just that...and that while climate is doing what climate has ALWAYS done...its not caused by man...and you are down with that. Cool. Freezing.
Its not CRITICISM...its IRONY. And its funny as hell.I never argue for or against man made global warming, I'm not smart enough on the topic to do so and unlike most people I acknowledge that. But the criticism that these people got stuck in the ice is just plain stupid.
As for climate change well there's frankly no arguing against it, the climate does change, it has changed in the past, it will change in the future and is changing now, the Earth is simply dynamic like that with or without man. Now that doesn't mean man plays no role but again I don't get into that, but there's no denying that climate yes indeed does in fact change and is changing. You know that as well and I recognize that you acknowledged it. But just because something occurs naturally doesn't mean that man has no impact on it or cannot have any impact on it. You know a ball will roll down a hill naturally, but that doesn't mean a man can't make it roll faster or slower.
