This Week's Version of the-Science-is-Settled

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is melting, and rising sea levels may flood islands and coastal areas; however, the primary cause may not be global warming but volcanoes under the Antarctic ice. University of Texas at Austin researchers looked at where the fastest WAIS melting is occurring and concluded

Our results produce high melt values adjacent to known volcanoes and structures that are morphologically suggestive of volcanic origin.

The trillions of dollars that will be spent on carbon-limiting schemes may be more fruitfully applied to relocating masses of humanity to higher ground, constructing defenses against higher tides, and even research on capping volcanoes.

We can't wait to see what next week's science will suggest.
