The Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica has been a source of concern for global warming alarmists who hysterically suggest that the melting of the glacier will cause a global catastrophe. But a new study has put forth an inconvenient truth for the alarmist crowd: ice loss from the Thwaites Glacier is slower than originally expected.
The study, conducted by scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and UC Irvine, and published in the Geophysical Research Letters, used computer models of the Antarctic ice sheet and data from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge on the Southern Ocean to determine that prior studies of the glacier had overstated ice loss by the glacier by 7% over the next 50 years.
