Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here

Late last month, an alarming new study concluded that the glaciers of Greenland and Antarctica will melt ten times faster than previous estimates, raising ocean levels 10 feet in as little as a half century. But is it accurate? NASA has launched an urgent, five-year, $30 million study that will help scientists find out.
The official “mission,” known as Oceans Melting Greenland—yes, this is operation OMG—is designed to help scientists determine the melt-rate with unprecedented accuracy. “I barely got that name by the censors,” admits Joshua Willis, an oceanographer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the project’s principal investigator. “But OMG is kind of the perfect expression for this line of research.”

Greenland is coated in nearly 700,000 square miles of ice, a reservoir of frozen water the size of California and Texas combined. If it all melted, the sea level would surge about 18 feet, devastating the world’s coastal cities and creating a humanitarian disaster of unprecedented scale.
Scientists already know that this ice cover is thinning and that the planet’s thermostat is being pushed up by man-made carbon emissions.
We know from other recent articles that the global warming fraud is a $1.5 Trillion scam, so the fraud continues.
Wouldn’t it be great if Greenland could live up to its name again!
I saw michael mann on TV last night.
He has the type of face you want to punch until he admits he is a lying sack of excrement.
It would sure be nice to see some actual science out of these people for once.
Sorry, Chicken Little, I’ll believe it when I see it.
$30 million?! Pure idiocy.
OMG! Pingy.
Greenland used to be heavily forested, back when the earth was much warmer. Lots and lots of tree trunks under that ice - how did they get there I wonder?
The bottom line motto of all of these useless idiots is: Raise Taxes!
OMG should have been WOM (Waste of Money). The malignant leftists know no bounds.
Pollution from African dust storms, autos, industry and volcanos has turned the surface of Greenlands ice sheet darker over the past centuries. I’d think this has more effect than CO2. Antarctica is likely more complex as the ocean ice isn’t going away and there are volcanos.
Faster than they thought? Didn’t they already tell us the coasts would be flooded by now? Or do they mean faster than they thought the 10th time they made the claim?
Give me 30 million dollars and in 5 years I will give you the incontrovertibly correct answer:
“Who gives a ____”
Just lovely! Isn’t he the nutbar that started the whole scam in the first place?

OH MY [CENSORED] GAWD!

Payoff
when will the report about ICELAND... be forthcoming?/s
“when will the report about ICELAND... be forthcoming?/s”
Just as soon as Obama allocates 50 million tax dollars to “study” it.
