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 seaa record amount of ice melted from the frozen mass this summer, according to recently released dataand 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.

No matter how much evidence is accumulated which clearly counters the man-made-global-warming Orthodox faith, it won’t yet matter...
The Global Warming Inquisition will proceed for years to come, with Al Bore, the self-exalted, self-annointed holy man of the Enviro-Nature-God, bearing the Sceptor, Holy Grail and torch for that man-made diety. The short-term verdicts of that Inquisition were pre-determined and “fixed” long before this all began...
Many heritics will yet be “burned” publicly at the stake before the green crusaders can be decisively shown to be deceivers, and can be shut down in their infamy. Eventually, it will all be proven and widely understood to have been false; a proverbial flash in the pan, before the earth routinely makes many more loops around the sun...
Relish the thought. Reality will, in fact, win. It is only a matter of time. May God give us the patience we need until the self-deluded can no longer maintain the facade!
When magma comes to the surface, it ferries heat from inside the Earth to the outside, where it can radiate into space more readily.
In other words, this is an example of irony. The melting of Greenland isn’t caused by global warming. It’s caused by global cooling.
Send Al Gore there. Maybe he will get a hotfoot.
Bad magma! Down, boy!
The magma flows may allow heat to be dissipated into space, but they might either increase or decrease the amount of heat generated by tidal forces. BTW, to what extent are such things considered by GW models?
