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.

What was Cheney’s relationship with the magma in question? Did Bush do anything to prevent this millennial length movement? Why wasn’t Congress notified of the threat to our national security by the ‘so called’ benevolent Earth?

Why wasnt Congress notified of the threat to our national security by the so called benevolent Earth? Sigh, kinoxi, it DOESN'T MATTER!!! So long as you accept the fact that magma is caused by human activity, mainly American human activity (white males most so).
Don't be a global warming denier.

Darn that George Bush! He apparently figured out a way to thin the earth’s crust in a crucial spot in Greenland.

Don’t be silly. He lacks the intelligence for such a thing. It was all Karl Rove’s doing...

Temperatures have not risen since 2000. So what’s this reporter talking about with “earth’s rising temperatures”?

Yes, I remember those idealic Clinton days well. Fluffy bunnys, Unicorns, & smiling Leprechauns danced in meadows full of posies!!! Then Bush ate the bunnys, raped the unicorns, & condemned the Leprechauns to the vast oil fields of Dick Cheney's undisclosed location. Damn that Bush!!! SAVE US ALGORE, YOUR OUR ONLY HOPE!!!!

Well fortunately, through the aid of modern technology, the leprechauns enslaved in Cheney's oil fields now have a voice of freedom. Let's tune in now on the super secret FR xxxx channel and listen in...

There's that word again.
"scientists"
Those aren't "scientists". They are geeks, freaks and wierdo's. pot heads following a geeky freaky pot head "professor"(perpetual student) from some university around, paid for by a government grant(taxpayers) smoking dope and thinking up some hairbrained theory of "global warming", thinking that a tiny speck of ice in Greenland is going to melt and flood the entire world.
Funny, when Greenland was ice free before, the entire world didn't flood. and if you use actual "science" you's know that if all the ice in the arctic ocean melted, the sea level would actually go down a smidgeon.
Would polar bears starve to death? NO. Why? Because if the ice all melted, seals would have to give birth on shore, amking hunting baby seals that can't swim even easier for polar bears, who's numbers have more than doubled since 1965.

We are just going to have to tax the hell out of those Magma Makers!
That should do it...
