And this is probably not due to just one new hotspot somewhere under the Greenland ice sheet.

Is a Greenland Melt anything like a Patty Melt?............

[wita]

So, has there been a corresponding rise in sea levels?

Another perhaps more relavent note, would be the really extensive annual data base.

thirdly and even more on point is who gives crap. Another pseudo scientists looking for a rewarding career in climatology.

Greenland Ice Melt Haiku

I do not know how,
But I know absolutely,
Magma is my fault.

[denydenydeny]

It’s a monumental unparalleled cataclysm unprecedented in history all the way back to....1979.

28 whole years? I have sweaters older than that.

Inclusion of the dynamic processes of these glaciers in models will likely demonstrate that the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change assessment underestimated sea-level projections for the end of the 21st century

"Because, although the IPCC have the same comprehensively destroyed scientific reputation as the "British Lancet", we have to think about our careers."

Hallelujah, Greenland will be Green again.

[Badeye]

Gee, I wonder why they named it GREENLAND.....

[headsonpikes]

Steffen and his team have been using a rotating laser and a sophisticated digital camera and high-definition camera system provided by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to map the volume and geometry of moulins on the Greenland ice sheet to a depth of more than 1,500 feet.

"We know the number of moulins is increasing," said Steffen. "The bigger question is how much water is reaching the bed of the ice sheet, and how quickly it gets there."

Maybe it's that dadgummed "rotating laser" punching holes in the ice-cap!

Did these so-called "scientists" ever think of that while they were tossing back the Danish schnapps and chasing the Greenland girls in the snow?

I ask you!

[secretagent]

Does this threaten the “conveyor belt”?

[Beagle8U]

“The current contribution of Greenland ice melt to global sea levels is about 0.5 millimeters annually.”

Wow, a whole inch in fifty years.

[kempo]

If the Greenland ice sheet is melting, would it be the 10,000th time that it did melt or would it be the 20,000th time that it melted?

[Tulsa Ramjet]

Ted Kennedy farted: "Whoooaa! Excuse me. Hey, look at those penguins run."

[crazyshrink]

I am excited about this ice melt. We know Greenland used to be ice free and have vineyards. There is a chance some very good (and old) wine will be uncovered.

We need to encourage as much of this global warming as possible to help offset the pending ice-age predicted by IPCC’s Hansen in the 70’s.

[milwguy]

and the increase in the Antarctic ice sheet is MORE than offsetting the loss in Greenland. Also interesting how the envirowackos who post this stuff are already proclaiming 2007 as one of the hottest years ever. Here in Wisconsin we are suffering a much COLDER than normal December and my favorite Artic ‘hotspot; Iqaluit, Canada is a balmy -18f right now. Also, the ‘record’ loss of sea ice from this summer has been replaced with a ‘record’ freeze of sea ice, earlier than normal. It appears Mother Earth is compensating for the evil CO2 belching humans who inhait her.
