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…

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…

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…

Complaints over false info in new Times World Atlas grow
Yesterday we pointed out how an island shown on a map 50 years ago was cited (because it appears today and was finally given a name) as “proof” of Greenland…
"Hotter summers may not be as catastrophic for the Greenland ice sheet"
‘Hidden plumbing’ helps slow Greenland ice flow Hotter summers may not be as catastrophic for the Greenland ice sheet as previously feared and may actually slow down the flow of…
Easterbrook on the magnitude of Greenland GISP2 ice core data
MAGNITUDE AND RATE OF CLIMATE CHANGES Guest post by Dr. Don J. Easterbrook, Dept. of Geology, Western Washington University The GISP2 Greenland ice core has proven to be a great…
Upcoming paper in Nature – Greenland ice sheet melt: "it's weather, not climate"
