Fearmongering by Numbers: The Greenland Ice Sheet “Tipping Point” That Wasn’t

This paper is yet another example of how climate science has been hijacked by a political agenda. Instead of providing a balanced analysis of Greenland’s future, it cherry-picks an extreme…

Greenland Surface Temperatures Fall for 20 Years in Fresh Blow to Climate Alarm Narrative

Nowhere is this lack of scientific inquiry more evident than at the two Poles of the Earth. Antarctica has barely warmed during 70 years of detailed observations, while the situation…

Heat transfer and meltwater flows in ice sheets

The paper clarifies and improves calculations of the role of viscous dissipation of kinetic energy into thermal energy as this physical process appears in models of meltwater flows embedded in…

Greenland Icecap Carries On As Normal

Greenland’s Ice Sheet has been perfectly normal this last 12 months, with the Surface Mass Balancing increasing in size at the normal rate:

Greenland’s Ice Melts Thanks To Global Boiling!

A clue for Mr Chadwick – snow falls in winter on Greenland, and in summer it melts. If it did not melt, the ice cap would grow every year.

Changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet Mass: Crisis in the Making, or Example of Uncertainty in Climate Science?

It should come as no surprise that a scientist would underscore the importance of uncertainty in drawing conclusions from observational data.

Greenland Hiawatha Crater Robustly Dated to Late Paleocene

Guest “Missed it by that much” by David Middleton Following this, Kjaer et al. (2018) report the discovery of a large impact crater beneath Hiawatha Glacier in northwest Greenland. From…

Changes in the Greenland Ice Sheet volume lag climate changes, such that today’s climate could still be affecting its size in thousands of years’ time

Greenland Sees Significant Snow, Ice Mass Loss Slowdown Over Past Decade, Danish Data Show

Currently Greenland mass balance change is at levels seen in 2000. The days of rapid mass loss are behind us, at least for now. The year 2021 is expected to…

A recent reversal in the response of western Greenland’s ice caps to climate change

These peripheral glaciers and ice caps are now also undergoing severe melting due to anthropogenic (human-caused) warming.  However, climate warming and the loss of these ice caps may not have…

Orange County Register Greenland Ice Melting Article Highly Misleading

The Register article is highly misleading and tries to make in a very clumsy way a connection between recent Greenland ice mass loss and the UN IPCC AR6 “code red” hyped climate alarmist report with…

Greatest Single Day Gains In Greeenland Ice Happening Now.

Despite warming, the Greatest single day gains in Greeenland ice and its SMB (surface mass balance) is happening the past days. Ice gain/loss in Greenland is function of the location…

Greenland becoming darker, warmer as its snow ages and changes shape

A weather pattern that pushes snowfall away from parts of Greenland’s ice sheet is causing the continent to become darker and warmer, according to Dartmouth research published in Geophysical Research…

The anatomy of past abrupt warmings recorded in Greenland ice

Data availability and temporal resolution make it challenging to unravel the anatomy (duration and temporal phasing) of the Last Glacial abrupt climate changes. Here, we address these limitations by investigating…

Its a Bit more Complicated

The plant matter stuff reported in PNAS is obviously true. So Greenland did mostly melt about 1 mya; otherwise those plants could not have existed there then, however briefly. But…

Greenland Ice Mass Loss Below Average In 2020

What is evident is that there has been no acceleration in melt since the start of records in 2002. This runs counter to the alarmist message commonly perpetuated, for instance…

Newly discovered Greenland (mantle) plume drives thermal activities in the Arctic

The research team discovered that the Greenland plume rose from the core-mantle boundary to the mantle transition zone beneath Greenland. The plume also has two branches in the lower mantle…

Greenland Ice Sheet Doomed… Again

Guest “geological perspective” by David Middleton CRYOSPHERE RESEARCH UPDATEUnprecedented ice loss is predicted for Greenland Ice Sheet30 Sep 2020 Over the next eighty years global warming is set to melt…

Guardian Scratching for Climate Tipping Points

According to The Guardian, the melting of Greenland, which could take centuries, could trigger several meters sea level rise and a cascade of other urgent tipping points. But rising sea…

Claim: Sea level rise from ice sheets track worst-case climate change scenario

Ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica whose melting rates are rapidly increasing have raised the global sea level by 1.8cm since the 1990s, and are matching the Intergovernmental Panel on…
