Greenland ice sheet is thickening!!! GW alarmists must explain.

'...A continuous data set of Greenland Ice Sheet altimeter height from ERS-1 and ERS-2 satellites, 1992 to 2003, has been analyzed. An increase of 6.4 ± 0.2 centimeters per year is found in the vast interior areas above 1500 meters, in contrast to previous reports of high-elevation balance. Below 1500 meters, the elevation-change rate is -2.0 ± 0.9 cm/year, in qualitative agreement with reported thinning in the ice-sheet margins. The spatially averaged increase is 5.4 ± 0.2 cm/year, or ~60 cm over 11 years, or ~54 cm when corrected for isostatic uplift. Winter elevation changes are shown to be linked to the North Atlantic Oscillation...'

I think what the study says is the ice sheet in the interior of Greenland has gotten thicker over the last 11 years and thinner along the coast. On average, there is 60 centimeters more ice in Greenland today than there was 11 years ago.

Thank goodness. I thought the polar ice caps were melting and we were all going to be flooded soon.

Thank you for saving me the trouble. 'Idiot' indeed.

And of course, you are eminently qualified to attest to the accuracy of this information and to absolutely assure everyone that the information was not published in order to conform to the information that Bush backers want us to believe. Gee - luckily you got it from a web site, no one could ever forge information on a web site, now could they?

Seeing is believing. Check out a series of then and now photographs.

Yea if it was from a better source like TV then it must be real for

You have a primary school education on science and you imagine like Joe Hardy you have something to teach the aggregate climate scientists of the world. You silly little Walter Mitty.

The assessment of the situation by the 'aggregate of climate scientists' is all fine and dandy, but the solution set lies largely outside that special realm.

Of course, real evidence like that doesn't come into play for conservatives. They simply state that global warming doesn't exist and we are expected to take their word for it. The puerile ones will even claim that the older photographs were photoshopped.
