Michael “Hide The Decline” Mann needs grant money, or he will sue you.
IF it is ‘falling apart’ then something is rising in its midst, and there is no anthropomorphic excuse for that eventuality.
This reminds me of an old si-Fi- novel I read fifty five years ago in which a man decides to melt the ice caps by blowing up the cliffs diverting the Gulf Stream from the Arctic, into the arctic. Needless to say, the world would be flooded.
Can’t remember the name of the novel but the hero (if you can call him that) gets implanted with an itching compound that causes extreme underarm and crotch itching which he cannot relieve, and all the rooms were painted green.
I think it was The Atlantic, a few years ago, ran a dramatic article about the burning hot wind that was about to unfreeze the Arctic. It circulated on social media, with everyone exclaiming at the crisis.
There was no follow up article, when nothing happened.
it’s lost 11 quadrillion pounds of water since 1972? I wonder what percentage that is of 321 million cubic miles of water in the oceans? Probably not much if NYC, SF and Miami are still well above the waterline.
Greenland not green, but was green before climate change a few thousand years ago?
That second paragraph sounds like his fantasy about what should happen to the flyover.
OMG
Please, please, please....don’t let a chunk of Greenland fall off and hit our family home in Maryland. If it must fall down on Maryland, let it fall on Baltimore.
Wait! Wut?
And if Venus suddenly veered into planet Earth, it would be devastating for 7 billion-gajillion people and their pets. THAT’S how bad it would be.
Well isn’t THAT interesting! Because something left on the surface of the Greenland icecap in 1942 turns out to be buried under 268 feet of ice and snow five decades later.
“On 15 July 1942, due to poor weather and limited visibility, six P-38 fighters of 94th Fighter Squadron/1st FG and two B-17 bombers were forced to make emergency landings on the Greenland ice field.”
“Glacier Girl, along with the unit’s five other fighters and the two B-17s, were eventually buried under 268 feet (82 m) of snow and ice that had built up over the ensuing decades.”

Glacier girl says the icecap isn’t shrinking, it’s growing.
Support global warming = more research grant money
I’ll go with hysteria for 500, Alex.
The Gakkel Ridge is generating massive amounts of volcanic heat into the overlying ocean and melting large portions of the ice that floats above. This heated ocean water is carried by currents to other parts of the region. These heated waters also heat the air temperature. As the ice melts, it releases trapped CO2. The volcanic action also releases massive amounts of methane (cow farts for OAC).
I like this site which monitors “ice melt days” which begin to occur this time of year through September.
“As noted in the previous post, exceptional winter snow accumulation and heavy, summer snowfall, drove the net snow input mass to 130 billion tons above the 1981 to 2010 average. This was followed by a near-average melt and runoff period, resulting in a large net mass gain for the ice sheet in 2018 of 150 billion tons. This is the largest net gain from snowfall since 1996, and the highest snowfall since 1972.” http://nsidc.org/greenland-today/
Suppose one were so incapable of critical thought that you accepted every worrisome ecological event as the direct result of fossil fuels. Do you really think the Democrats, who couldn’t even manage a cash for clunkers program, would have any prayer of counteracting the behavior of everyone in the world?
‘If Greenland were suddenly transported to the central United States, it would be a very bad day for about 65 million people, who would be crushed instantly.’
Interesting fantasies this guy has, crushing Trump’s Midwest base of support, along with a number of people that nearly match Trump’s vote total.
By the way, this is how the Left dog-whistles each other.
Democrats are lying scum.
