No Global Warming in Antarctica

ntarctica Hasn’t Warmed In 70 Years Despite CO2 Rise, Stumping Scientists

And yet the Gang Green keeps using West Antarctic Ice Shelf (WAIS) collapses as "proof" the continent is heating.
It's not, so how do they explain it?
They have none. I do. The fact is the WAIS is a big chunk of ice floating on top of a shallow sea. It is under pressure from ice from the center of the continent, particularly from East Antarctica, which is a huge, thick, heavy dome of ice. That pressure drives the western shelf out until it reaches a critical mass and breaks off. It is helped in no small part by heavy volcanism under the ice sheet, warming the water beneath the ice.
It's perfectly logical but has nothing to do with carbon-dioxide-driven warming of air, or even sea water. Anractica is surrounded by the circumpolar current, which is a wide, deep, cold current circling the continent. Warm water cannot pass it. The southern ocean is very cold and is not warming appreciably. Any warming seen is from undersea volcanic activity, not increased planetary air temperatures.
The antarctic disproves Cliamte Change alarmism. That's why they only discuss it when there is an ice shelf collapse or one of the rare warm days on the Antarctic Peninsula.

It's bigger than Rhode Island. Therefor, "It's going to raise sea level eight feet when it breaks off." (and, supposedly, falls into the ocean.) Except that it's already floating in the ocean. It will have no effect whatever on sea level when it breaks off, no matter how big it is.

Bingo! You are absolutely correct Bill. If the cubes in your ice tea melt on a hot summer day does it overflow your glass? No.
Only melting LAND ice has any effect on sea level. If East Antarctica were to suddenly melt it would be different.
