Antarctica and “alarming” Sea Level Rise
By Rud Istvan, WUWT reader KS of North Dakota emailed a request to ctm based on reading ‘alarming’ Wired journalism concerning $50 million being spent to further study the ‘dangerous’…
U.S. Climate Resilience Tool Kit: Greenland Stays Frozen in 2100… Even Under RCP8.5
Guest DIY by David Middleton It looks like at least some of this money was well-spent. I stumbled across something very useful yesterday on Climate-Dot-Gov’s U.S. Climate Resilience Tool Kit…
Ancient tree reveals cause of spike in Arctic temperature
Hmmmm……what does everyone think of this? ~ ctm Here is the abstract: Contrasting Greenland and Antarctic temperatures during the last glacial period (115,000 to 11,650 years ago) are thought to…
NASA flights gauge summer sea ice melt in the Arctic
From NASA By Maria-Jose Viñas, NASA’s Earth Science News Team Earlier this year, Arctic sea ice sank to a record low wintertime extent for the third straight year. Now…
Enormous Aquifer Discovered Under Greenland Ice Sheet
From NASA, I had to laugh at this statement: The water in the aquifer has the potential to raise global sea level by 0.016 inches (0.4 mm). That’s assuming it…
Lakes discovered beneath Greenland ice sheet
From the University of Cambridge The subglacial lakes are the first to be identified in Greenland The study, published in Geophysical Research Letters, discovered two subglacial lakes 800 metres below…
Study: Greenland Ice Sheet was smaller 3000-5000 years ago than today
From the University of Buffalo Clues in the Arctic fossil record suggest that 3-5,000 years ago, the ice sheet was the smallest it has been in the past 10,000 years…
NASA to do summer aerial melt watch for Greenland
NASA Begins Airborne Campaign to Map Greenland Ice Sheet Summer Melt For the first time, a NASA airborne campaign will measure changes in the height of the Greenland Ice Sheet…
The WUWT Hot Sheet for September 12th, 2013
Climate models wildly overestimated global warming, study finds Can you rely on the weather forecast? Maybe not, at least when it comes to global warming predictions over short time periods.…

When it comes to new high temperature records, 'shoot first, ask questions later'
Readers may recall my investigation over the weekend of an announcement by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) about a new all-time high temperature record set in Greenland that was subsequently…
Surprise: Greenland ice gets a melt assist from Earth's hot mantle below
From the Helmholtz Association Greenland ice is melting — also from below Heat flow from the mantle contributes to the ice melt The Greenland ice sheet is melting from below,…
How not to measure temperature – Part 94 – Maniitsoq, Greenland all time high temperature rescinded?
UPDATE: 7/12/13 1045 PDT DMI concedes the record may not be valid, see here I’ve been working on this one for a week, and I finally confirmed my hunch about…
Oh, what a difference a year makes in Greenland melting
ARCTIC SUMMER SNOWSTORM By Joseph D’Aleo CCM Remember a year ago when few days of July ‘warmth’ with strong blocking over Greenland had the media abuzz over some melting? Last…
Dueling press releases on ice melt – one says 'uncertainty is large' the other quantifies a number
Once again, it looks like claims of ‘consensus’ are overblown. In our previous news item we have this: …ice sheets are the largest potential source of future sea level rise…
New study: Antarctic and Greenland ice sheet melt may be natural event, no consensus on cause
Ice sheets are the largest potential source of future sea level rise – and they also possess the largest uncertainty over their future behaviour From the University of Bristol Continuous…
