Glaciers

The discovery that the glaciers in Antarctica were moving toward the sea and a faster rate than anticipated triggered an alarm within the climate community. They concluded that this was caused by warmer air pushing warm surface water down to the base of the glaciers where it melted the base ice and caused the glacier to move more rapidly. They concluded that this warmer air was the result of global warming caused by the burning of fossil fuels. Upon further reflection the question of why warm water which is lighter than cold water would defy gravity and move down into the depths and go under the glacier was asked. Then someone recalled that last year an active volcano was discovered in that area and perhaps that was the cause of the warming. In the articles presented by the scientist there was no mention of the volcano. It is this type of reporting that causes skeptics to wonder if this is agenda driven science.
