Tidal Forces and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet

From a press release of the British Antarctic Survey

"New research into the way the Antarctic ice sheet adds ice to the ocean reveals that tidal motion influences the flow of the one of the biggest ice streams draining the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
[...]
And what influences the tidal motion?  Why the variations in flow ... are related to the vertical motion of the ocean caused by the gravitational effects of the sun and moon."

So much for human caused alleged warming of the temperatures in the antarctic!
