Does Hank Johnson (D) think it's in danger of capsizing? Could this be another Guam!?

Here’s a thought, maybe that’s why the place is named Greenland, also, Hannibal crossed the Alps waaay back when the ice had melted enough for him (along with his elephants) to just stroll across, hmmmm?

The ice, in place for eons,... Stop right there! In geological terms an eon is 1,000,000,000 years, and this is not even close.

how do they know it’s the ice getting thicker, as opposed to the entire island rising from below, and the ice staying the same? 2 inches/yr = 5 cm.

They use calibration of the land-mass by measuring the distance at the edges of the ice sheet and at areas not covered by ice. The overall Greenland ice sheet is growing, not shrinking.
