“Many consider it a good indicator of the global warming trend due to its proximity to the Arctic and its being the only permanent ice sheet outside Antarctica.”
Say what?
The artic has been warmer than normal...but the rest of the earth cooler..
When the oceans cool again the plant will be cooler..
May take a few years
Go to the daily summary ..you can learn a lot about the weather
If you are comparing two weeks to a 29 year mean, that makes no sense. During the 29 years you we have higher and lower measurements.
Conclusion - there is great variability in the extent of Greenland’s ice pack, from year to year, decade to decade, century to century, era to era and season to season.
Without any CO2 buildup it was once much greener, and the world did not come to an end.
I have followed the global warming scare for a long time starting in college in the late 80’s when Gore was “sounding the alarm.”
I saw through it within a few years because the data has never matched their alarmist hypothesis. Their predictions have been so far off the mark that any rational person sees what the overwhelming body of evidence shows. Global warming is a lie.
Environmentalism is a political movement. The real truth is that the best thing for the environment is a prosperous society.
They use weather events to prove climate theories.
The weather varies. Ice melts and water freezes. Get used to it!
Gorebull warming is a scam designed to dupe liberal pukes out of their money.
A comment for our younger members:
When ice sheets calve icebergs it is due to higher amounts of ice in the interior, not because of ice melting. If ice was melting on an ice sheet the calving would slow down and stop. In other words, Al Gores film of Antarctica ice sheets calving icebergs are proof that the ice sheet is gaining mass in the interior.
Baffin island also has an extensive “permanent ice sheet”.
During the time when we are between ice ages, there is no ice on the planet. Anywhere. Currently we are in the front end of the Quaternary Ice Age.
Not theory, but practical knowledge that has proven to be correct.
A melting Greenland ice cap would be a boom time for the country. The mineral resources exposed would be incredible.
