Peering into the thousands of frozen layers inside Greenland’s ice sheet is like looking back in time. Each layer provides a record of not only snowfall and melting events, but what the Earth’s climate was like at the dawn of civilization, or during the last ice age, or during an ancient period of warmth similar to the one we are experiencing today. Using radar data from NASA’s Operation IceBridge, scientists have built the first-ever comprehensive map of the layers deep inside the ice sheet.

“...containing enough water to raise ocean levels by about 20 feet...”

I need to see the math before I believe that.

Wait. Hasn’t the ice all melted?

So the Greenland ice-sheet has been losing mass. No sheet!

29 Aug: Climate Depot: Marc Morano: Scientists rip UN IPCC report: MIT’s Dr. Richard Lindzen: ‘Demonizing CO2 is just crazy’…’Ignore the climate crisis’ — Dr. Nir Shaviv of Hebrew U.: ‘They’re totally missing fact that the sun has a big effect on climate’
MIT Climate Scientists Dr. Richard Lindzen: When asked his opinion of Israeli solutions to climate change, Lindzen said: “Solution implies there is a problem.” The real question is if the plan’s worth doing. To that, he replied: “Not at all.” “Demonizing carbon dioxide is just crazy,” said [MIT climate scientist Richard] Lindzen. “It means we have a population that’s forgotten elementary biology. They don’t remember photosynthesis. We’ve already benefited due to the increase in CO2 by probably over a trillion dollars increase in agricultural productivity. The earth is greening due to this.”

Nir Shaviv, a professor of physics at Hebrew University, told JNS that he feels many climate scientists are under pressure to produce alarming reports. There is “such a large climate industry that people need to publish things that show a large effect [from man-made emissions], or they don’t get grants,” he explained. Shaviv said the IPCC’s scientists are not looking at all the evidence. “The thing that they’re totally missing is the fact that the sun has a big effect on climate. We can simulate it in large-scale simulations.” Shaviv: “So I’m totally confident after 20 years that the link is there, the sun has a large effect on climate.”...

As with most “studies,” it just sounds like a boondoggle. Throw in a few words about globull warming.

The ice sheet has enough water to raise ocean levels by 20 feet.

It has been losing mass over the past two decades.

Ocean levels are the same as 20 years ago.

Something doesn’t add up.

Prolly going to use the imagery for their next global ‘we are doomed in 9.5 years’ climate change propaganda release...../s

In the image from the video :

Green is ice laid down in the present geological age - the Holocene
Blue is from the Last Ice Age
Red is from the Eemian (130,000-115,000 BC)
