Hot Mantle Plume Is Melting Antarctica From Beneath, NASA Study Finds

2. Extremely misleading article, utterly false headline

The "mantle plume" is a theory and only a theory. There is no direct evidence. It has not been detected, observed, discovered, or proven. There is nothing, repeat nothing more than a mathematical model calculating how such a mantle plume might create the observed effects.

Even if the mantle plume does exist, it has been there for hundreds of centuries, and there is not the slightest suggestion that anything about it is in any way likely to change, nor that its effect on melting the ice cap will change from what it has been doing for tens of thousands of years.

The NASA study has done nothing more than measure the thickness of the ice. It has not detected any mantle plume nor did it measure or detect anything that would tend to confirm the theory.
