Sasha Carter, a postdoctoral researcher at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography who studies the Antarctic ice sheet, said the new research «shows that subglacial
water transport and the refreezing of that meltwater is reshaping the interior of East Antarctica at a scale previously not
believed to be possible.»
Ultimately if the freshwater melt was a dominant (which seems hard to
believe given the scale of the wind - driven gyre
transport) factor, it would be entrained into the gyres at the surface and you'd see an overall freshening of North Atlantic surface
waters to make the whole system more like the Pacific, which has a much weaker meridional overturning circulation.
Do you not
believe in vertical ocean circulations or that warm
water can be
transported down by these?
As I discussed in response to Martin Lewitt, some people seem to
believe they can vaguely invoke the
water cycle to
transport heat back out into space.
I do not
believe these numbers take the real emission cost of nat gas into consideration (leakage,
water transport, mining).
