Study finds surprisingly high geothermal heating beneath West Antarctic Ice Sheet

Humans are at it again, they are causing the earth to warm from it's center. Climate-istas will soon be the character played by Samuel L Jackson in the movie, "The Kingsmen". This insane religion will begin killing anyone questioning their belief

"This is the first geothermal heat flux measurement made below the West Antarctic ice sheet, so we don't know how localized these warm geothermal conditions might be. This is a region where there is volcanic activity, so this measurement may be due to a local heat source in the crust," Fisher said.

Climate Change Fueling Rapid Greening of Antarctic Peninsula
May 19, 2017 - One of the coldest areas in the world is getting greener, and researchers say it’s because of global warming.

Researchers from the University of Exeter in England who first studied the increase of moss and microbes in the Antarctic Peninsula in 2013, now say the greening of the region is widespread. "This gives us a much clearer idea of the scale over which these changes are occurring," says lead author Matthew Amesbury of the University of Exeter. "Previously, we had only identified such a response in a single location at the far south of the Antarctic Peninsula, but now we know that moss banks are responding to recent climate change across the whole of the Peninsula."

Researchers say the Antarctic Peninsula is rapidly greening due to climate change.

The peninsula, researchers say, is one of the more rapidly warming area in the world, adding that temperatures have risen by about a half-degree Celsius each decade since the 1950s. For their study, researchers looked at five more core samples from three areas of moss banks over 150 years old. The new samples included three Antarctic Islands off the peninsula. The cores, researchers say, showed “increased biological activity” over the past 50 years as the peninsula warmed. Researchers say their findings show “fundamental and widespread change,” and that the change was “striking.”

The changes are likely to continue.

"Temperature increases over roughly the past half-century on the Antarctic Peninsula have had a dramatic effect on moss banks growing in the region, with rapid increases in growth rates and microbial activity," says Dan Charman, who led the research. "If this continues, and with increasing amounts of ice-free land from continued glacier retreat, the Antarctic Peninsula will be a much greener place in the future." The next step for researchers is to look back even further in history to see how climate change affected the region before humans made an impact. The findings appeared in Current Biology on May 18.

"This is an area where there is volcanic activity". "The geothermal flux measured in the study...is like the heat from one small LED Christmas-tree light per square meter". You should try reading your own links beyond the headlines. Y'know, in the interests of preserving some dignity?

The warmist cult gave up any interest of preserving dignity, or truth a long time ago.

From your link:

"The ice sheet developed and evolved with the geothermal heat flux coming up from below--it's part of the system. But this could help explain why the ice sheet is so unstable. When you add the effects of global warming, things can start to change quickly," he said.

So, the ice formed there even though there was geothermal heat there at the time it first formed. Now it's melting. It seems that means the geothermal heat has little to do with melting. Something else must be responsible for the melting. What could that be?
