[Up Yours Marxists]

Well then, the marxist Algorian hippies neglected to mention that in their recent "scientifically-based" gorebull warming reports, now didn't they...

Volcanic Rift Valley Under Antarctica Hotter than Expected

More manmade warming!!!!!!

Rumor has t that volcanic magma gets rather warm.Rumor also has it that warmth has a tendency to melt ice.

Don’t believe these scientists.

It is: Global Warming, Climate Change, Global Warming, Climate Change, Global Warming, Climate Change, Global Warming, Climate Change, Global Warming, Climate Change, Global Warming, Climate Change, Global Warming, Climate Change, Global Warming, Climate Change.

Invest in wind turbines and solar panels.

Al Gore: "The interior of the earth is extremely hot... several million degrees. (video)"

[Gen-X-Dad]

What??? I don’t understand? You mean ice melts when hot molten magma rises up from the Earth’s core directly underneath the polar cap. And all this time I thought it was cow farts and letting my SUV idle to long in the driveway.

Some models suggest this could take place comparatively rapidly, within a few centuries.

So what do the OTHER models suggest?

An interesting fact about Antarctica is that there is a frigid ocean flow, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), circling this island continent that basically keeps it in the 'deep freeze.' Just because a chunk of ice breaks off, if it remains in the confines of this area, it will melt very slowly, if at all.

In another article at Geology.com they were tracking some indications that this has been quite active for at least 5,000 years. I hope the funding is there for more study but some of the weasel words at the end about understanding this in terms of the larger global warming makes me wonder if the rifting will be studiously ignored. Cynical, huh?
