Uplifting

Iceland is on the rise. The actual island, not their shitty economy:

Sea levels aren’t the only things rising due to climate change — swaths of land are too, including the nation of Iceland.

That’s according to a new study published by a team of geologists from the University of Arizona. According to their research, the melting of Iceland’s glaciers has reduced pressure on the ground beneath them, causing the land to “rebound” from the Earth’s crust.

“You can’t make any statistics from those few data points of course, but you do notice there might be a connection with the uplift,” Hreinsdottir said.

Which didn't stop the true believers of the Church of Anthropogenic Global Warming Climate Change from making an illogical quantum leap based upon exactly those few data points. Never mind that the glaciers in Antarctica are increasing in size even faster than the ones in the Arctic are melting; that doesn't fit The Narrative. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the cycles of that giant fusion reactor at the center of the solar system, of course. Or maybe undiscovered mechanisms of vulcanism deep in the mantle. Perhaps tectonic processes which we've only barely begun to comprehend...

Nope. Can't be any of that stuff. It's Big Oil causing it, and that's settled science because High Priest Albert the Hutt has decreed it to be so! Burn the heretics! Crucify the apostate!
