11 billion tons of ice melted in Greenland — in just one day

[CrusaderFrank]

One question, why here in Floor E Da, the temperature is well below normal? Just sayin...Should it be hotter everywhere since CO2 is everywhere, and if the temps go up in the southern hemi, then it should go up here also? Right?

It's called balance. Florida only represents one small area on the planet.

So does Greenland

Are you suggesting that ice melting in the Arctic has no effect on the entire ocean ?

Ice melts in summer.

That never happened before climate change!

Nobody cares about this

Do you know the properties of Ice in water? Scientifically of course? If you take a 1 gallon water bottle and fill it to the top and freeze it, what happens to the bottle? It explodes because freezing water, expands. So now imagine ice melting in the arctic, where most of the ice is under water, when it melts the water no longer is in its expanded phase and thus the water level goes down. Your bullshit pseudo science never tells publicly educated people this stuff because when you realize how you are being duped then you wont want to give up your money freely to CO2 bullshitters and they will go broke.

Why does water expand when it freezes?

Therefore, ice has nine-tenths, or 90 percent, of water's density. In other words, only 10 percent of an iceberg is above water. The other 90 percent lies below the surface.

15 billion tons of ice melt in one day? How come this isn't international news? Maybe cause it didn't happen? Once more lefties are fudging reality (like their GW friends in the "scientific" community) to make a point that is based on political fantasy.

 

[lennypartiv]

This has to be fake news.

Well it did come from the Socialist countries, and I guess they just dont want to have to pay their fair share of NATO. IF the end of the world is coming, they can miss a few years payments.

Okay lets try this theory as Global Warming is just a theory also.

You are in your house, and it has 3 floors, a basement, a main floor and a sleeping area on the 3rd. So you have a central air conditioner, like we have the sun for the Earth. When you set the temperature of the thermostat to go up 5 degrees, does all the house go up in temperature, but maybe not all 5 degrees, or does the upstairs get real hot, the middle gets moderate, and the basement turns into a freezer?

You understand that gravity is just a theory too, don't you?

I love when science deniers display their abject ignorance by failing to understand the difference between a theory and a hypothesis.

He doesn't actually know what a theory is.

I love when a science moron tries to debate me about science when they cant even tell the difference between a man and a woman. Go back to school get a real education, then come back and see if you can compete with my intellect.

You also conflate knowledge with intellect. You probably do the same with ignorance and stupidity. You don't comprehend words too good, do ya Sparky?

Greenland lost 11 billion tons of ice in one day. How does that melt compare to the past?

Scientists announced Thursday that July equaled, if not surpassed, the hottest month in recorded history. But that was not the only cause for concern.

Greenland's ice sheet melted at its most rapid rate so far this summer summer on Thursday, losing 11 billion tons of surface ice to the ocean, according to data from the Polar Portal, a website run by Danish polar research institutions, and the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

That's GREAT news! Maybe someday itll be as warm as when the Vikings settled there.

In January 1964, Lyndon Baines Johnson declared "unconditional war on poverty in America." Since then, the taxpayers have spent $22 trillion on Johnson's war. Adjusted for inflation, that's three times the cost of all military wars since the American Revolution.

The national debt was less than a trillion dollars until Reagan and the neocons took over in 1981.

It's good news for geologists and archaeologists too.

Where I live, only a few thousand years ago, my state was buried under a mile of ice.

Thank GOD, He decided the planet needed warming so Man could survive in Michigan.

Yes, I do know for a fact that you are not only ignorant as hell, but stupid as they come. Again, instead of debating the issue where when temperatures are rising all over the world do to "Global Warming", then my little area should be hotter also, not below normal. Shame you are to much of a science denier to understand this, but then you wouldn't be a Marxist either.

This is what will happen to the climate in the next 100 years

And to think that with AOC's prediction this scientific estimate is about 88 1/2 years too late. They cant even get the dates right, a liberal mind, if they have one, is like a scrambled egg.

Yes.....and don't worry that those glaciers are sitting on top of volcanos....that wouldn't have anything to do with any melt we may be seeing....
