Failed claim right out of the gate: Climate change altering Greenland ice sheet & accelerating sea level rise
From the “why worry, the 99.7% of the ice is still there” department and York University comes this climate claim that has to do with a natural event in 2012,…
Greenland retained 99.7% of its ice mass in 20th Century!!!
(Featured image borrowed from http://www.clipartbest.com) Naturally, the Real Clear Science headline actually read… Greenland Lost 9 Trillion Tons of Ice in Century Which sounds even more serious than the original headline……
Lessons Learned from My Failed Greenland Prediction and NOAA’s Shifting Goalposts
Guest Thread by Jim Steele In December 2014, I posted the essay Will Greenland Begin Accumulating Ice in 2015 and Beyond. Based on 1) my understanding of Greenland’s icecap…
Greenland ice melt due to 'global warming' found not so bad after all

Cornell University's Greenland ice melt hype
From Cornell University and the Department of Inflated Headlines come this misleading claim that really should be anything new, and certainly not “groundbreaking” as they claim in this press released.…
Will Greenland Begin Accumulating Ice in 2015 and Beyond?
Guest post by Jim Steele, director emeritus Sierra Nevada Field Campus, San Francisco State University. Based on NOAA’s 2014 Arctic Report Card, the past 2 decades of ice loss in…
From #AGU14 Surprising findings in Greenland's melt dynamics – glaciers retreated rapidly between 1900 and 1930
I’m at AGU 2014, thanks to the generous assistance of readers. This is one of the presentations yesterday that caught my eye. One other thing I did notice was that…
Advances in understanding of the Greenland Ice Sheet's meltwater channels
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., Oct. 1, 2014—An international research team’s field work, drilling and measuring melt rates and ice sheet movement in Greenland is showing that things are, in fact, more…
Past temperature in Greenland adjusted to fit new theory
From the University of Copenhagen – Niels Bohr Institute (BTW, the phrase “Past temperature in Greenland adjusted” in the headline is their choice of words, not mine.) One of the…
Lying with Statistics: The National Climate Assessment Falsely Hypes Ice Loss in Greenland and Antarctica
by E. Calvin Beisner and J.C. Keister How fast are Greenland and Antarctica losing ice? If you trust the National Climate Assessment (NCA), you’ll think, “Very fast!” And that’s intentional.…
Study: the Greenland ice sheet collapsed 400,000 years ago
From Oregon State University Study links Greenland ice sheet collapse, sea level rise 400,000 years ago CORVALLIS, Ore. – A new study suggests that a warming period more than 400,000…
Study: Greenland's July 2012 'insta-melt' was triggered by a combination of warm weather and carbon soot
WUWT readers surely remember all the media hype over this story. This was REP’s last entry on WUWT: As WUWT readers are aware, there has been a great deal of…
Movie Science: “We need to understand why in the last 30 years global warming is not uniform,”
[Note: part of the answer is in the photo they provide with the press release below, but they don’t see it. – Anthony] Greenland melting due equally to global warming,…
The Guardian tries to claim global warming sank the Titanic – research says the exact opposite
Kate Ravilious makes this nutty claim at The Guardian: But in fact the catastrophe may have been set in motion by a warm, wet year over Greenland in 1908, resulting…
Claim: 'Sustained mass loss of the northeast Greenland ice sheet triggered by regional warming', but, not so fast
The media spin is in full wash mode over this recent paper studying a small section of Greenland. WUWT Reader “non nomen” writes in Tips and Notes: “Sustained mass loss…
