It's undersea volcanoes melting the ant arctic ice not man made global warming

University of Texas Research Demolishes Main Rationale for Climate Alarmism

Researchers at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics have punctured one of the main arguments of global warming activists, that the large scale melting of an Antarctic glacier is caused by man made global warming.
  1200 WOAI's Michael Board reports researcher Duncan Young says the Thwaites Glacier is indeed melting, but it is not melting due to global warming, but do to the fact that an active volcano exists directly under the glacier.
  "Looking at the radar data, we can find things that look like volcanoes, little volcanoes, scattered under the ice," Hunter told 1200 WOAI news.
  He says the findings 'significantly change the understanding of conditions beneath the West Antarctic ice.'
  Photographs of the collapsing glacier were ubiquitous over the past month, as several reports were issued to support the Obama Administration’s push for limits on greenhouse gas emissions from coal fired power plants.
  In fact, a leading climate scientist said just last month that 'unabated climate warming of several degrees over the next century is likely to speed up the collapse of West Antarctica, but it could also trigger irreversible retreat of marine-based sectors of east Antarctica.  Whether we should do something about it is simply a matter of common sense, and the time to act is now, Antarctica is not waiting for us.'
  But Hunter says technology had not allowed scientists to look under the ice, and he says what researchers found there was completely unexpected, and the volcanic activity, and not man made global warming, is responsible for the melting of the glacier, and for the sea level rise which had also been attributed to global warming.
  "This melting of the underside of the ice is leading to a raise of an inch or two every year," he said.
  Hunter says the magma from the volcanoes is distributed over a wider area and is much hotter than previously assumed.

  Another climate scientist wrote last month, "the melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has been cited by green activists as proof that man made global warming is dangerous, and real, and unless we act now to rein in carbon dioxide emissions we'll soon resemble Waterworld.'

Will the national mainstream media pick up this story?
