This is good news from the Cult of Climastrology, I guess
Runaway W. Antarctic ice sheet collapse not ‘inevitable’: study
The runaway collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet — which would trigger catastrophic sea level rise — is not “inevitable”, scientists said Monday following research that tracked the region’s recent response to climate change.
As global temperatures rise, there is mounting concern that warming could trigger so-called tipping points that set off irreversible melting of the world’s massive ice sheets and ultimately lift oceans enough to drastically redraw the world map.
New research published Monday suggests a complex interaction of factors affecting the melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which is home to the enormous and unstable Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers — nicknamed the “Doomsday glacier” — that together could raise global sea levels by more than three metres (10 feet).
Using satellite imagery as well as ocean and climate records between 2003 and 2015, an international team of researchers found that while the West Antarctic Ice Sheet continued to retreat, the pace of ice loss slowed across a vulnerable region of the coastline.
Their study, published in the journal Nature Communications, concluded that this slowdown was caused by changes in ocean temperatures that were caused by offshore winds, with pronounced differences in the impact depending on the region.
OK, let’s put this in real talk: the apocalypse of the collapse of the ice sheet is simply not cooperating with the cult’s prognostications of doom, so, they’re trying to spin it
Researchers said that this raises questions about how rising temperatures will affect the Antarctic, with ocean and atmospheric conditions playing a key role.
“That means that ice-sheet collapse is not inevitable,” said co-author Professor Eric Steig from the University of Washington in Seattle.
“It depends on how climate changes over the next few decades, which we could influence in a positive way by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
Yup, cult spin. They’re trying to get ahead of yet another failed prognostication.

The downfall of capitalism will not come from the uprising of an impoverished working class but from the sabotage of a bored upper class. This was the view of the Austrian economist Joseph Schumpeter in 1942. Schumpeter believed that at some point in the future, an educated elite would have nothing left to struggle for and will instead start to struggle against the very system that they themselves live in.
