its convection in the Earth's mantle that caused that! He doesn't have any evidence
You know what TUba, I'd bet he actually does.

What effect would nonpolar tectonic shifts have on that field?

No, MORON
He doesn't have any evidence that shifts in the Earth's mantle caused THIS PARTICULAR SHIFT detected in Antarctica at the same places where it is losing ice and with field changes that just happen to be consistent with that ice loss.
My frick. The mere fact that mantle convection CAN cause the Earth's gravity to shift doesn't mean it HAS in this particular case. You seriously are this stupid, aren't you?

FACT: Thhe mantle is ALWAYS convecting.
Seriously, how stupid are you? Were you even accepted in graduate school?
No you werent. You're a field tech for the Coastal Studies Institute.

I think he meant that there is no evidence that shifts in the mantle altered the field at the pole in precisely the same location and of the same amount that the lost ice would cause.

Obviously.

Yeah I'm sure scientists who study Earth's gravitational field have no clue that the Earth's mantle has gravity.
The Earth's mantle just happened to move in precisely the right manner to cause a loss in gravity at the exact same location of ice loss and completely consistent with that ice loss...meanwhile what the frick happened to the ice's gravity? Did it just disappear from the equation?
That's plausible!

Cpt tried to argue that isostasy would make it impossible to measure the gravitational change due to ice loss. Nevermind that the change was measured over the course of only 3 years, but some areas of the earth are still rebounding toward equilibrium since the last ice age.

Well Spidy, just link CptBengal to the statistical control data. No need to jow-wow. Stick to the facts. That's how real science works. Who knows, you could actually be right. So is there a possibility the measurements were influenced by other factors?

at the exact same location of ice loss and completely consistent with that ice loss...

Kind of like a nurse running a patient on a treadmill to the point of exhaustion, taking his temperature, then reporting his symptoms as very fatigued and highly febrile. Without knowing the rest of the story, those symptoms imply need for urgent medical intervention.

this is when you know the liberal has lost the argument, they resort to name calling.

Yeah but at a fast enough rate to cause a shift of tens of mGal/yr?
