You mean like batteries? Or like Australia and the Southern H?emisphere being a giant CO2 sink?

Oh a greening world due to CO2.  More cropland available. What is not to like?

"Some models predict"? You mean those models that have shown no predictive value?

And of course those pesky tree stumps that are still above the snowline.

“All recovered tree specimens originate from exceptionally high elevations, about 600-700 m atop of modern treeline positions."

“Conservatively drawing on the latter figure and a summer temperature lapse rate of 0.6 °C per 100 m elevation (Laaksonen 1976), could a priori mean that summer temperatures were at least 4.2 °C warmer than present around 9,500 years before present. However, glacio-isostatic land uplift by at least 100 m since that time (Möller 1987; Påsse & Anderson 2005) implies that this figure has to be reduced to 3.6 °C higher than present-day levels, i.e. first decades of the 21st century. Evidently, this was the warmth peak of the Holocene, hitherto.”

You mean researchers like this? Or only those with which you agree?

So let's see you don't like the CSIRO because they say the entire SH is a CO2 sink?

These conditions were observed during the collapse of two of the peninsula's ice shelves -- Larsen A and B -- in the summers of 1995 and 2002, respectively. And now, as the climate crisis is projected to warm the Earth further, the biggest remaining ice shelf, Larsen C, is also at risk of total collapse, the study says.

The authors of the study, published in the Nature journal Communications Earth & Environment, used algorithms, climate models and satellite observations to determine that 60% of the peninsula's calving events -- where an iceberg breaks off an ice shelf or glacier -- were triggered by atmospheric rivers between 2000 and 2020.



To put in perspective what a ice loss in Antarctica could mean for the world, Turner explained there are 60 meters -- nearly 200 feet -- of potential sea level rise if the whole continent's ice melted. Western Antarctica, the broader region around the peninsula, represents 6 meters (20 feet) of rise, which in itself would swallow entire islands and be catastrophic for millions of people living on coasts and beyond.
Most of the world's ice melt and sea level rise so far can be attributed to melting of the Greenland ice sheet in the Arctic.

Read the article -
land ice will follow the sea ice.

Which will spread the sea ice and lead to a greater ice coverage in the Antarctic during the Autumn to Spring period. Scientists probably have the ability to refreeze coastal sections of Antarctica that they do not want to see melted during the summer. And they can probably set up wind turbines to power machines to refreeze whatever coastal areas that they predicted would melt away.

It is wishful thinking that scientists would entertain the idea of preventing ice sheets from breaking up and floating away with far-fetched ideas of using covered freezers. But, why not entertain the possibility that we use future technology to achieve this?

And where does that hotter air go in a cold environment like Antarctica? Towards the atmosphere where it is quickly cooled and frozen and causes more snow and ice to fall. Win-win for Antarctica.

Does she not understand how she is undermining her argument by using a plane? And how much more pollution does she create by being driven about in vehicles. I doubt that she rides a bike or walks very far, with her enormous arse. How many beef cattle were slaughtered to feed her fat ass?
