A new study by researchers at the University of Texas, Austin found that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is collapsing due to geothermal heat, not man-made global warming.

"The deniers are grasping at straws."

It appears to me we  have 2 sets of deniers.
Those that refuse to acknowledge that we are contributing to Global Warming and those that refuse to acknowledge that Science proves we have had several Climate Changes long before Humans could have possibly contributed to it. Myself, I’m trying to stay balanced.

“The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives”.



“The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years.”

What I like about this article is the way they stated, “most of it is very likely human-induced”.
They are not ruling out the possibility humans are not solely responsible for Global Warming.

Also, before people start “Nit Picking” the statement “with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization.” The key words are “human civilization.” We all know the evolution of Humans began long before 7,000 years ago

Disasters in progress like the high number of hurricans last season? Or the record winter warmth? Oh wait those didn't happen.

One area.
Of one glacier.
*Might* have a different proportion of geothermal influence compared to warmer seas causing it to melt than they previously thought.

Didn't say the warming seas aren't still the largest factor in glacier melt or that man made global warming isn't the cause of a thousand other disasters currently in progress.

The deniers are grasping at straws.

Yes and did it say that man made global warming was the cause? No it did not.

LOL

Did you actually take the time to read that report, or did you just let that junk rag the Daily Caller **** in your ear and tell you it was raining?
