The Loss of West Antarctic Glaciers, ONE of FOUR
May 20, 2014, 10:05 p.m.
A new study by researchers at NASA and the University of California, Irvine, presented on May 12, 2014, finds a rapidly melting section of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet appears to be in an irreversible state of decline, with nothing to stop the glaciers in this area from melting into the sea. The Pine Island, Thwaites, Haynes, Pope, Smith, and Kohler glaciers discharge ever more rapidly into the Amundsen Sea. And even though the Amundsen Sea Embayment is a very small area of the continent of Antarctica these glaciers contain enough ice to raise global sea level by 4 feet and they are melting faster than most scientists had expected. These findings, we are told, will require an upward revision to current predictions of sea level rise.
A world trying to understand the rapid melting of the Greenland ice sheet now needs to turn its attention to a frozen continent at the bottom of the globe that seemed too far away and too massively frozen to be of concern.
The glaciologist Eric Rignot at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, and the University of California, Irvine, followed decades of research and theory to explain how and why the West Antarctic Ice Sheet is inherently vulnerable. The late arrival of satellite observation in addition to airplane overflights have allowed them to see and quantify what exactly is happening at the base of the glaciers and their so-called grounding lines where the ice sheet is attached to a bed of rock or soil below sea level.
Professor Chris Rapley, who is famous for his inspired and intelligent descriptions of Antarctica, was the Director of the British Antarctic Survey when I interviewed him in 2005. He had warned of the loss of the West Antarctic glaciers in a 2005 keynote speech and an interview with TUC Radio.
His lucid explanation of the history of exploration and the function of Antarctica and the global circulation of water and his deep understanding of the processes of melting are the perfect introduction to the new findings by Professor Eric Rignot in the upcoming program by TUC Radio.

When was the last time you were really in the wilderness? Or, maybe youâre like the millions of Americans whoâve never even been in the wild before. This week on Sea Change Radio, I have a wild discussion with Jason Mark, the editor of Earth Island Journal, as we honor the 50th anniversary of the passing of the Wilderness Act of 1964. Mark shares his misgivings about what he views to be a technological threat to some of natureâs most mysterious spots and how much of our wild is already pretty tame. Then, he and host Alex Wise delve into conservation policy and talk about the surprising number of bipartisan conservation bills that unsurprisingly have not yet been passed by Congress.

May 20, 2014, 2:32 p.m.
This week we hear from former Corporate Communications professional Patrick Henningsen who's now the editor of www.21stCenturyWire.com How is the news we read, see and hear being turned into propaganda and how can we tell the difference between truth and lies when so much money is being spent on spinning what we think? Spinning NATO's Secret Government Out Of Our Consciousness, Are the recent positive stories about Statins just placed there by the people that manufacture them? Is there still Nazi blood running through the Bilderberg veins.

The Nash the Slash Tribute Show
May 18, 2014, 3:45 p.m.
Damn. We just lost Nash the Slash...
Back in the sterile, pastel '80s, it was the music of Nash the Slash that thrilled me the most. His stage gimmick was compelling, of course--he always performed in bandages à la Claude Rains in THE INVISIBLE MAN--but what snared me was the way Nash sawed away at his electric violin like a frenzied madman as he produced his sparkling, rippling arpeggios, sounds that were beautiful, tormented, exultant, transcendent... But Nash's distinctively sharp, incisive sense of humor and unbridled play infused his work and gave it an edge that no one else had. Nash toured with Iggy Pop in the early days, and when Gary Numan saw him playing at a Toronto club, he dumped his support band and immediately tapped Nash for his 1981 Pleasure Principle Tour. I went up and down the timeline to highlight Nash the Slash's panoply of styles, drawing from not only his body of musical work but also from his cantankerously argumentative interviews and recorded bits of weirdness from his days with the Canadian prog-rock band FM. I only wish I could have painted a better picture of him as his character from SAVAGE HENRY--but thanks to the available soundbites, tonight I am able to conjure Nash the Slash from the embrace of his tomb to paint the ether with slashes of sonic brilliance. And I saved one song for the very end of the show, simply because it made me cry like a little hurt bitch as listened to it. We all should feel a sense of loss here, because as you'll hear tonight, this man left us marvelous gifts...Nash the Slash painted future fairytale nightmares with carnival colors to light up our world with a radiant, gleeful darkness. And damn, I am going to miss the hell out of him for it.
