Great news! The name "Greenland" will once again make sense!
and maybe if enough melts all over the area, the next time we cruise the NO Atlantic itinerary we will get to visit New Foundland which we have missed because of weather twice...
The problem with the glasure retreating like it has is that the caving face is in the proces of going up eponetialy is size. This means that the rate of ice loss is going to go up. This should raise world sea levels. etc.

The glacier has been retreating at a good clip for 2 or 3 hundread probably more. It is making its own heat on the bottom. As it moves the friction makes heat the ehat melts the ice. the water lubricates the bottom of the glacier letting it move faster. If you look at the pix of the Ice sheet Google Maps See all the blue water on top of the Ice sheet? That is wrotten ice. Weak and ready to fail. it is hard to tell but it looks like the ice is flowing back here Google Maps
What do you think? Oh ya and there is a lot of inertia. That is a change 60 years ago can be seen today. Or 300years ago.
Anyone who quotes the 2007 IPCC reports must be completely ignorant of the news of late....
Its kind of like quoting Bill Clinton on the subject of fidelity.
You can't get away with that BS.
Everything in the IPCC report that is peer reviewed is correct and proven out over and over and over.
Some of the non-scientific literature (a very tiny amount) that was included did make some claims that were not valid from a scientific perspective.
So 3,000 pages of data and a few mistakes.
The IPCC has admitted the problem and fired up an independent panel to improve.
However, if you still don't trust the IPCC, that's fine, go read the peer-reviewed studies.
Either way, nature wins. You lose. But you should least know what it is when it hits you.
