Greta…BLAME GREENLAND!

[DannyTN]

That's what happened to Mercury. He slipped on the ice.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Oh, global warming. I see.

[Red Badger]

One of them has to do with global warming.

Wow! Didn't see that one coming!..................................../s

[LIConFem]

Ah, so tthat’s where all the glass thermometers wound up…

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yeah, things are tough all over. I say melt the ice, extract the mercury, and bottle the war as "Ötzi the Iceman's Pure 100% Natural Glacier Water". It's great on the rocks, or with your favorite adult beverage.

[Steely Tom]

I hope they can find a white conservative to blame this on.

[ptsal]

Does the mercury show up in the fish caught in the ocean around Greenland?

[PGR88]

Trump offered to take Greenland off Denmark’s hands, but they said no.

[Vermont Lt]

Oh my lord…now we will all become as mad as hatters.

[SubMareener]

But it is “natural” pollution, so it must be OK? Reminds me of when we were in-port at Groton, with the reactor shutdown, and the airborne radiation detectors alarmed. The ELT took an air sample on the dock, and if it turned out to be from the decay of Radon gas, it was OK because it was from the coal burning power plants up river. Even though the radiation levels exceeded the Navy limits, since it was “natural” it was OK!

[Harpotoo]

Speaking of... Buried deep under a hill in central China, surrounded by an underground moat of poisonous mercury, lies an entombed emperor who’s been undisturbed for more than two millennia.
How does one make a moat of Mercury?

[G Larry]

Must be from all those thermometers that broke from global warming.....

[Leaning Right]

Oh, great. Now there’s something else for this angry person to yell about.

But on the plus side, maybe Al Gore can wrangle another Nobel Prize out of this.

[enumerated]

I guess if mercury is frozen into the glaciers, that pretty much takes us off the hook for contaminating the planet during the Industrial Revolution.

Same with asbestos - prehistoric caves are loaded with it - blame the cave men and saber-tooth tigers.

[A Navy Vet]

There are still glaciers in Greenland? I thought they were predicted to melt by now. I could have that mixed up with no Arctic ice.

[Flick Lives]

Unlike what is seen in China, the evidence indicates that the mercury in Greenland originates from natural geological sources in the ice sheet bed.

—

All the mercury that ever existed since Earth’s formation is still here. No more. No less. Some may be elemental. Some may be bound up in complex molecules.

[aynrandfreak]

runoff water coming from three different glaciers in southwest Greenland contains as much mercury as water in far more industrialized areas

Maybe it's not that bad in industrialized areas.

[M Kehoe]

Hi.

Wait a minute. Mercury is found mostly in volcanic rock.

How many volcanoes on Greenland?

5.56mm

[HereInTheHeartland]

Come on man, pretty easy to see that white males caused this.
Everyone knows that Viking ships used lead paint.
And Viking ships were around the glaciers.

White males once again are destroying the planet .
