SAN FRANCISCO - Global warming may not be the only thing melting Greenland. Scientists have found at least one natural magma hotspot under the Arctic island that could be pitching in.
In recent years, Greenlands ice has been melting more and flowing faster into the sea a record amount of ice melted from the frozen mass this summer, according to recently released data and Earths rising temperatures are suspected to be the main culprit.
But clues to a new natural contribution to the melt arose when scientists discovered a thin spot in the Earths crust under the northeast corner of the Greenland Ice Sheet where heat from Earths insides could seep through, scientists will report here this week at a meeting of the American Geophysical Union

“God forbid they go out on a limb if it debunks GW.”
They would have to admit that the heat melts ice.
And we all know that FIRE can’t melt ICE, nor STEEL.
Ignore, ignore, ignore. There is nothing to see here. Please move along quickly. The information presented here has no scientific value. Ignore, ignore, ignore.
There is also no news about the possible oil spill from the sunken cruise ship near Antarctica.
Greenland Ice Melt Haiku
I do not know how,
But I know absolutely,
Magma is my fault.
Nope. No way, no how. Haven't you heard? The debate is OVER. There is a CONSENSUS among scientists. Man is causing Global Warming, which is in turn melting the Greenland glaciers, among others.
It's too late to be coming in here willy nilly with some new "evidence" to the contrary.

The several threads yesterday got some attention, but face it, this isn't up to the level of Oprah's campaign appearance.
Yeah, right!
Next thing you know they will be telling us that fire melts steel.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha......
