Anarctica Is Turning Green

The continent of Antarctica is turning green so dramatically' that its entire future is in question, it's been warned. The Antarctic peninsula is warming faster than the global average, with extreme heat events happening more often, meaning the amount of vegetation there has ballooned.

Comments

Our findings raise serious concerns about the environmental future of the Antarctic Peninsula, and of the continent as a whole.

In order to protect Antarctica, we must understand these changes and identify precisely what is causing them.'

Not only is the Antarctic Peninsula getting greener, with native plants spreading over time, but there are fears that new species of plant life are becoming more common.

It's feared new invasive species could create a foothold on the peninsula after potentially being carried over by eco-tourists, scientists, or other visitors.

How is it liberals think a natural occurance is controllable? It's not. Who made them the authorization of when mother earth can put plants where it want to?

@#1 ... a natural occurance is controllable? It's not. ...

What was the cause of that natural occurrence?

Could man-made climate change be a factor in what is occurring in the Antarctic?

"Drill baby drill!' I can already hear the MAGAwhiners demending that rogressives stop saying "We told you so!"

a natural occurance [sic]

Show us when the rate of change occurred 'naturally' except during a Mass Extinction Event?

Only science-illiterates like Boazhole would call the trillions of tons of Co2 we pump into the atmosphere, 'natural'.

Only science-illiterates like Boazhole would call a molecule of Co2 produced by man different in function than one produced 'naturally'.

Only science-illiterates like Boazhole would deny a Greenhouse gas produced in excess from any cause would trap infrared heat just like it was proven by Tyndale, Fourier and Arrhenius and never disproven by anyone.

It's the Era of Idiots and Boazhole is just another faceless example of it.

Show us when the rate of change occurred this rapidly 'naturally' except during a Mass Extinction Event?

Whoopsie.

"How is it liberals think a natural occurance is controllable? It's not."
and thus the idiotic slogan:"
First, you might want to tell Marjorie Taylor Greene yhat!

zsecondly, the claim that "the greening of Antartica" is a "naturally occuring phenomenon" a rather convenient exscuse for oil producers to deny science. After thousand of years of it not occurring and after climate scientists have been screaming warnings that it was going to happen if we allowed CO2 levels to rise too high; that those "green house gases" would create thr "greenhouse effect" of global climate change. So now we can clearly see exactly what they have been predicting for decades but you just nrush off scientists and claim it is a "naturally occurring phenomenon" though one that hasn't happened for many thousands of years and it is just coincidental that it is occurring exactly when climate scientists have predicted it would. Your claim is just a last ditch effort to justify denying science and a transparent excuse to justify continuing our high levels of oil consumption which is a huge source of wealth for oil producers all jover the world including here in the United States and thus the idiotic slogan "drill baby drill!" which actually means drill in the Anwar Natural wildlife Preserve" so that oil companies can make millions of dollars producing more oil so that they can fuel further global climate change as if "the greening of Antartica" doesn't prove beyond the shadow of any dout that the climate change scientists are right and the science deniers, a/k/a "useful idiots" who are happily repeating the talking points the oil companies want them to repeat. They fund politicians to carry their watzer with billions of dollars and buy Congress and even Presidents but the ptoblem is that natural laws like the "greenhouse effect" of greenhouse gases will continue to cause global climate change and politicians can't stop that no matter how much money they get from the oil industry and, like it or not, the"greening of Antartica: irrefutably proves that Science deniers can pretend it's a natural pgenomenon for a few more years but soon it won't matter what they say or want to believe. We have raging forest fires, hurricanes bringing disastrous floods and the hottest summers on record. So deny science all you want but when a "naturally occurring phenomenon floods your home or burns down your home just remember climate scientists told you it would happen and what we need to do about it or just continue on being a science denier like those who profit from oil want you to,

BOAZ is a DUMBA$$ living in an alternate reality.

Antarctica's snow and ice reflect a massive amount of solar radiation and heat.

Also, melting Arctic and permafrost are releasing trapped CO2 back into the atmosphere.

People like BOA$$ don't even care about their children or future grandchildren's lives.

This is why people like Boaz need Trump to destroy the federal government and dissolve the NOAA and the NWS.

They need to be kept safe from reality.

Ignorance is bliss!

The same BOA$$ who said the damage in Asheville was okay because "the libs" live there.

He's too brainwashed to see that even he and his will be negatively affected by climate change.

Commnotes. You do t have to read all of fhat but itherealities of global climate change won't magicly disappear. You may escape from the consequences of it but it iis doubtful that your children and grandchildren will be so lucky !

Once again proving nature abhors a vacuum, unless it's inside your head.

And you are too stupid to realize that over crowded countries like China, India, Pakistan and many other third world nations is a bigger threat than the U.S.

You are also too stupid to know that the plastics dumping is an even bigger threat and one we would easily take care of. I'm more concerned about plastics in our rivers than a planet climate I cant control. Population control is also a concern.

I hear liberals whine about population control, but continue to let in millions of "migrants". That's a self defeating action.

Well the people say they can control the weather with space lasers. That's what the people are saying.

They say them Dems are mighty mighty!

Perhaps boaz can explain how some of Oklahoma, Kansas and the Texas panhandle are on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Washington D.C.
