This September study states that many science instruments are clarifying HOW Antarctic ices are shedding. Complicated interpretations of satellite data performed in multiple wavelengths, now show that calving icebergs are just as important as warming temperatures that melt ices.
A complementary study detailing how warmth intrudes to the interior, away from coastlines to move & melt ices & a video also add greatly to our increasing knowledge of Antarctic ice...

STRONG Increasing Climate Change Effects]]> 1 Thin West Antarctic Ice Melt Flow Wed, 24 Aug 2022 06:04:41 +0000 http://www.cleanmpg.com/community/index.php?threads/56974/ http://www.cleanmpg.com/community/index.php?threads/56974/ invalid@example.com (litesong) litesong https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/08/220812224149.htm

A new study may explain seemingly increased melting of Antarctic Ice Shelves(all around the continent), that past studies have missed. Numerous studies have modeled warmer current flows from further north latitude regions that are increasing Antarctic Ice Shelf melts. However, these studies usually detail only the large circum-Antarctic flows.

The new study details the thin(20KM wide) off-Ice Shelf fresh-water flow from the further north West Antarctic Ice Shelves. This surface flow is moving around the circular...

As spring approaches, Marian and I were talking about lawn care and how to improve both our carbon footprint and improve ease of use.

With my far beyond expectations met, Black and Decker 20V MAX Lithium Pivot Vac experience over the past two years for car care, I thought if the Black and Decker Hedge trimmer(s) and Blower(s) lineup were rated within the Top 5 from various review sites, I would lean heavily towards that brand. Low and behold, the Black and Decker units were in the Top 1, 2, or 3 in review after review of the perspective products.
