The “grown up” iceberg

According to a Cambridge University press release May 13, 2022“The ice sheet east of the Antarctic Peninsula has grown in area over the past 20 years, due to changing winds and sea ice patterns.”

The press release continues:

So what caused the ice shelves to advance? In the absence of atmosphere and ocean warming over the past 20 years, The dominant control was found to be changes in regional wind patterns over the Weddell Sea, which are responsible for pushing sea ice onto the ice shelves.

In contrast, between 1985 and 2002, wind conditions in the same area caused sea ice to move away from the coast. By removing the quenching effect of sea ice and exposing the ice shelves to damaging ocean waves, stress on the ice shelves increases, ultimately leading to the formation of icebergs.”

Note that the press release seems to say that there is no warming in this area.

The U. of Cambridge press release also adds that Progress is linked due to the decade scale [natural] changes in atmospheric circulationThis has resulted in more sea ice being carried by the wind to the coast.

Co2- warming is not driving ice activity in the eastern Antarctic peninsula.
