What I find very interesting is that in the first picture, suposedly your "baseline," from the year before, I can clearly see evidence of a recent snowfall. Note the many snow capped hills in the left portion of the picture. On the other hand, the photos for the following year clearly were taken at a time when several days or even weeks had passed without any appreciable snow fall. Are you distorting data to meet your Green Whackjob agenda?Mark, take a paranoia pill! I didn't touch the pictures, I just took them off a NASA Web site. But I doubt that a bit of snow here or there affects the way that the edge of the ice sheet is melting. If you think that these pictures have been altered for a "Green Whackjob" agenda, then you will have to express your concerns to NASA, not me.
What you incorrectly call melting ice is the snow on top of the ice melting. No where did I say you doctored the pictures, the point is your interpretation is flawed.
