Hmmm... I just read a online news paper, after checking this site.
And low and behold, theres a article about this.

20,75 degree's celcius messured at Antarctica.

Also apparently the last time, this much melt (in antarcitica) happend, was over 100,000 years ago (Eem-periode).
Back then sea levels were 3m higher than now.

Over 100,000 years ago? I wonder what caused it then? Obviously we are having an impact but I think there are certainly other factors at play.

Looking back, the world has gone under several changes, with or without humans.

I'm not a denier by any means but damn, the hysteria and the thinking that it's purely the fault of humans is a bit much. I heard a politician (AOC) say that the world will end in 12 years if we don't do something now. It really just distracts from the real issues by saying outrages things like that.

Sometimes all it takes is a meteor strike, landing some place with lots of ice & snow.
They can carry massive amounts of energy, and generate alot of heat..... which can cause global riseing temps. and more importantly really high ones locally.

Once the energy disipates, a balance can be reestablished.
But for a periode, there can be alot of "melt" and higher sea levels, due to such a thing as say a meteor strike.


This time, we cant blame a giant hot peice of rock falling, for our raiseing global temptures.... or how much & how fast ice is melting.
Its just the greenhouse effect, of us polluting.

Supposedly this last big meteor strike some 12,900 years ago, is why USA + Canada isn't under mountains of snow right now.
If you had a time machine and could go back 14,000 years in time, you would see a much colder north america & canada.
