Yesterday, in the middle of Summer, Greenland Gained a Record-Smashing 4 Gigatons of Snow and Ice

Usually in mid-August, Greenland’s surface mass balance (SMB) is LOSING 4 Gigatons of snow & ice a day. Not yesterday, however — on Aug 10, 2020, the ice sheet GAINED a record-smashing 4 Gigatons of global warming goodness (and just listen to the silence coming from the MSM, it has so much to say).

Before this year, the Greenland ice sheet had never grown anywhere-close to 4 Gigatons in any of the months of June, July, or August, according to DMI records (which go back to 1981). In addition, the DMI record books also reveal that yesterday’s 4 Gt GAIN smashed the previous mid-Aug record by over 2 full Gigatons.

Thank you, Cuban Leaf. This info is valuable.

I am especially impressed with all the observations (red "x" points) out to 2120 and naming the minimum sunspot count in 2050 to 2100 the "Eddy Minimum." Was this article written in 2120? Maybe "1.21 jiggawatts" is true. Who was "Eddy"?

You could have some cards made up and hand them to the warmunists with a note to get back to you with the answers. Use as needed.

Hahah my first mental image as well...

I could even hear it!

It takes about 9,000 gigatons of water to raise the sea level one inch. Four gigatons of snow and ice on Greenland might lower sea level by ‘bout 0.0004 inches. If your boat is stranded, you know who to blame.

Stranded and upside down with all weapons lost to the dark murky depths.

Don’t tell Al Gore or AOC or they’ll cry.

[rktman]

I’m calling them right now. Bully? Why not. It’s what they do 24/7. :-)

Pity the poor bastard who had to shovel it all onto the scale.

When I was a kid in Northern Idaho, we had a snowstorm once that probably dropped that much snow on our driveway. At least, it seemed that way to my brother and I who had to shove it.

:)

So when we buy Greenland from Denmark, do we have to pay extra for this snow?

I know you meant “SHOVEL” it right?

Oh, I’ll bet it wasn’t much more than a megaton or two. Though there are some long driveways up there...

"It’ll take 4 JIGGAWATTS to melt it!................"

[CommerceComet]

LOL. Yeah, shovel is correct. That oversight is just further proof that men should focus on one thing at a time - posting while simultaneously talking on the phone.

[Libloather]

One gigaton.

[rktman]

So 4 orcas would be the equivalent then?
