So strange to see the singularity approaching while the entire planet is rapidly turning into a hellscape. -John Coates

Climate change creates a threat to trees. I think it's a little stark, but possible.

It will be interesting to see how this is addressed...

dik there is no climate change. Its climate engineering.

You haven't convinced me...

Not an expert but how does frozen rock covered in ice, thaw?
The title of the 'thought' piece is Are we missing a crucial component of sea-level rise?
Also, see

With heat over time... the polar regions are warming at 4x the rest of the world.

Dik, I suggest you review your sources. They're getting worse and worse. Phys.org is anything but a non-profit. It's an arm of the ScienceX network feigning credibility with a .org domain.

 

[GregLocock]

OK, slowly. You have some very cold rock, and a mile high lump of ice on top of it. How does the heat in the atmosphere get to the ice/rock interface?

This mile-high lump of ice is surrounded on all fronts by seawater, which is changing temperature seasonally and also in the long term.

This mile high lump of ice weighs millions of tons and is constantly in motion on top of the pointy rock it's sitting on; in other words, it's generating a LOT of heat due to friction.

In short, the path to melting of the ice at the interface with the rock under it has nothing to do with heat conducting through the glacial cap.

There are areas of the antarctic continent which are known to have water between the base of the glacier and the underlying rock. This Stanford study looked at the possibility of basal melting in new areas; it did not invent the concept of basal melting itself.

Tug...

and for general all over news (good or bad, it depends) from a source that may be acceptable to you:

I thought all glaciers had water underneath? It may not be heat related. It's hard for ice to form under pressure/weight. There is some unique property of water that makes this true.

 

[TugboatEng]

NASA's climate division is again a questionable source. Without negative reporting it wouldn't exist.

Windows2Earth is a science teachers association. Science teachers typically aren't scientists.

Question your sources.

Another possible improvement in transportation, Maglev... If abundant hydro or non-fossil fuel power this can be another option.

In one form or another... I seem to recall from grade school that it was called 'regelation' or something of that ilk. I guess the interlock with irregular soil surface tends to keep it anchored a bit...

From the co-founder of Greenpeace.

[dik]

...and from Fox, too. Whoda guessed... Catch this link, it may be more pertinent. A sign of the times and of the frustration of scientists, perhaps.

Instead, they presented the case for scientists to adopt a more radical approach to counter the "lack of transformational government action":

You're proving my point. This is no longer about climate or science. It's strictly political now.
