Unexpectedly.... warm water melts ice

or more on the ever more revealing lack thought by the AGW climate 'scientist'.

Unexpectedly, warm waters melt polar ice.

Most of the ice being lost from Antarctica is going as a result of warm water eating the fringes of the continent, scientists say.

The researchers used a satellite laser to measure the thinning occurring on ice shelves - the floating tongues of ice that jut out from the land.

The team's analysis found the shelves' shrinkage could not be attributed simply to warmer air temperatures.

One has to ask then, gurgles, what is making the water warmer?

Thread: Fail.

Between this and his other threads about GW, I'm beginning to doubt his ability to read for comprehension.

Seems to me that the article attributed warmer waters that are being driven towards the continent by stronger westerly winds in the Southern Ocean. The Southern Ocean is naturally warm because of it position in relation to the sun's rays hitting the earth.

But really who cares. What's the downside for humans?
