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…
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,…
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…
Great News from Greenland
Guest essay by Dr. Patrick J. Michaels I recently returned from a trip to Greenland’s Jokabshavn Glacier, which discharges more ice than any other in the Northern Hemisphere. Our route…
NOAA exaggerates 2012 Greenland Ice Mass Loss by 10x
[UPDATE: Several commenters, including myself, have remarked on a mathematical error in the author’s work. I note this here in the expectation that the author will return to clarify and…
Remember that 'unprecedented' Greenland ice sheet surface melt that was allegedly caused by global warming? Never mind
We covered this extensively at WUWT last summer, including the “unprecedented claim” where a researcher said it was a recurring 150 year event that was ‘right on time‘. It turns…
Hansen falsified: His extreme sea level rise projections are drowning in hubris
After yesterday’s tongue-in-cheek mention of Obama’s healing the planet (and sea level rise with it) here’s the real lowdown on the current knowledge. It seems that all the science that…
Global warming whacks Earth's poles – is there anything it can't do?
Reader View from the Solent writes: Global warming shifts the Earth’s poles. North Pole heads for Greenland “Global warming is changing the location of Earth’s geographic poles, according to a…
Global warming and the Titanic II – on an epic collision course?
People send me stuff. This morning I got a note about a new study that says: Over the past decade, ice-loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet has been accelerating, raising…
Weather, not climate, caused the brief surface melt in Greenland last summer
Readers may recall the breathless wailing over a brief period of surface melt detected by satellites last year. The way the media and alarmists who drive the media behaved, you’d…
Greenland ice melt overestimated due to satellite data algorithm issue
This is an interesting admission: The melt extent algorithm used by Greenland Ice Sheet Today has been overestimating the melt extent, and as a result, daily images posted on this…
First complete ice core record of last interglacial period shows the climate of Greenland to be significantly warmer than today
Study: ‘ Greenland ice sheet is not as sensitive to temperature increases and to ice melting and running out to sea in warm climate periods ‘. From the University of…
Making Hay of sea level rise estimates
People send me stuff. You may recall this story from last week that raised a number of eyebrows due to the claims made within it by author William Hay. Dave…
2012: The Year Greenland Melted (AKA Alarmists Gone Wild) and Manhattan-sized Icebergs!
Guest Post by David Middleton “Satellites See Unprecedented Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Melt… Right On Time” I guess Professor Tedesco missed this… “Ice cores from Summit show that melting events…
Greenland Ice Melt every 150 years is 'right on time'
UPDATE: see this new article on the issue, “Ice cores from Summit show that melting events of this type occur about once every 150 years on average. With the last…
Greenland Ice Sheet albedo drops 'off the bottom of the chart' – but look closer as to why
Got this in the mail just as I posted my open thread announcemnt. I’m too busy this weekend to say much else except to post this tweet from Bill McKibben…
Crack in the Earth: Greenland glacier loses ice island twice the size of Manhattan
It’s business as usual at the Petermann glacier, doing what a glacier does, calving ice into the sea. We reported on another chunk in 2010, four Manhattans in size. Borrowing…
Supraglacialslipsialidosis
From the University of Colorado at Boulder, worry over something that is a natural process that has happened for thousands of years. You gotta love this one: ” Catastrophic lake…
More Glacial Junk Science Journalism
[Note: this post (and a few others) was lost in WordPress, and I had no notification of its existence. While a bit dated, it is still valid – note to…
Gosh, really?
From the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) some “could be might be” research with a possible conclusion. I wonder why there doesn’t seem to be evidence for a…
New study shows temperature in Greenland significantly warmer than present several times in the last 4000 years
Kobashi et al 2011 was just published in GRL, and it looks like it will be upsetting the paleoclimate apple cart. The conclusions of Kaufman et al 2009 look to…
