Read here. Let's see....experts predicted that complex life under an Antarctic ice sheet is non-existent because....er.....well...."IT'S THE CONSENSUS, EVERYONE KNOWS THAT."
But, as we all know now, science "consensus" is about as valuable as a mug of warm spit. That has been especially true in the climate science arena where almost on a daily basis there is a Emily Litella moment when arrogant scientists and science journals have to state (mumble?) the inevitable "never mind" about some widely held, non-factual belief. The shrimp under the ice sheet is another of those frequent events.
""In a surprising discovery about where higher life can thrive, scientists for the first time found a shrimp-like creature and a jellyfish frolicking beneath a massive Antarctic ice sheet....Six hundred feet below the ice where no light shines, scientists had figured nothing much more than a few microbes could exist...."It's pretty amazing when you find a huge puzzle like that on a planet where we thought we know everything,""
Did we say arrogant? Climate scientists' hubris knows no bounds, which obviously answers the "mystery" of why Climategate happened.
