    Are the caps bound to totally melt or just the surface ice and glaciers? Permafrost is dummy thicc.

      Antarctica used to have palm trees at one point in history.

      It's possible that it was closer to the equator during this time, I haven't figured out where exactly its position would be. It's also possible that as you said, there was some ice in some spots. But being that

      1. the effects of ALREADY PRESENT CO2 haven't even manifested yet
      2. we are still adding more CO2 on top of that
      3. the amount of CO2 we're adding is increasing

      I feel like it's safer to say that Antarctica will eventually be almost ice-free.

        Well that sucks. I was planning on moving there and becoming a desperate cannibal warlord.
