Quite a bit of the Antarctic continent is covered by ice that is ONE MILE thick. There is enough there to actually raise the oceans if it ever came to that.

Yes, and how is it going to fall into the ocean when it is a thousand miles from water? It ain’t gonna melt down there, despite what Kerry hopes.

When you travel around on interstates and look at the roadcuts, you see what are called bedding planes in the rock. They are the long, linear parallel lines that you see in the rock. These are the result of the rise and fall of sea level in geologic history. Many of them are the result of sea level fluctuations from “climate change” in years past. Two things that are not constant on this planet are the climate and sea level. What many people also fail to realize is that the South Pole is a desert. So for new ice to form, it has to fall as snow. If there has been a change in the amount of ice down there, it could be just from a long term drought.
