‘Shock horror’: Antarctic shelf experiences record growth
Geologist Ian Plimer talks about shocking revelations of the Antarctic shelf experiencing record growth.
“We have cycles, and these cycles are where the ice sheets grow and the ice sheets contract,” Mr Plimer told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“In Antarctica, you’ve got another perimeter, which journalists never mention … there are 150 geothermal centers and volcanoes underneath the ice sheet.
“If you’re going to heat the ice from below, what’s it going to do? It will melt.
“When you ignore the volcanic factor, you end up with shock horror.
“Nothing should shock you if you’re aware of the literature.”
