Greenland ice melt for 2019

[Old Rocks]

Greenland's ice is melting very rapidly now.

A new study in the journal Nature finds Greenland is melting much faster than it was in the 1990s.

Measurements from a suite of 26 satellites show the rate of ice loss in Greenland is now about seven times the rate in the early 1990s.

Greenland’s ice sheets melted 33 billion tons of water a year in 1993. In the last decade, the average skyrocketed to 254 billion tons of melt on average. That’s a seven-fold increase. Recent meltwater rates are now at the upper range of IPCC predictions.

Greenland ice melting 7 times faster than in 1993

So where was the massive rise in sea level?

Or is that bullshit too?

Maybe the mere presence of that meat puppet faggot in his new ocean front house kept the water level down...

In recent decades, the Greenland Ice Sheet has been a major contributor to global sea-level rise1,2 , and it is expected to be so in the future3 . Although increases in glacier flow4–6 and surface melting7–9 have been driven by oceanic10–12 and atmospheric13,14 warming, the degree and trajectory of today’s imbalance remain uncertain. Here we compare and combine 26 individual satellite measurements of changes in the ice sheet’s volume, flow and gravitational potential to produce a reconciled estimate of its mass balance. Although the ice sheet was close to a state of balance in the 1990s, annual losses have risen since then, peaking at 335 ± 62 billion tonnes per year in 2011. In all, Greenland lost 3,800 ± 339 billion tonnes of ice between 1992 and 2018, causing the mean sea level to rise by 10.6 ± 0.9 millimetres. Using three regional climate models, we show that reduced surface mass balance has driven 1,971 ± 555 billion tonnes (52%) of the ice loss owing to increased meltwater runoff. The remaining 1,827 ± 538 billion tonnes (48%) of ice loss was due to increased glacier discharge, which rose from 41 ± 37 billion tonnes per year in the 1990s to 87 ± 25 billion tonnes per year since then. Between 2013 and 2017, the total rate of ice loss slowed to 217 ± 32 billion tonnes per year, on average, as atmospheric circulation favoured cooler conditions15 and as ocean temperatures fell at the terminus of Jakobshavn Isbræ16. Cumulative ice losses from Greenland as a whole have been close to the IPCC’s predicted rates for their high-end climate warming scenario17, which forecast an additional 50 to 120 millimetres of global sea-level rise by 2100 when compared to their central estimate.

It is all bullshit all the time with you rocks...

Thank goodness! I haven't seen my wife in a bathing suit for 45 years!

Here's what the bed wetters can never explain.

1000 years ago, there were Scandinavians living comfortably on places that remain under ice even now. Who warmed the planet up prior to their arrival? Who froze all that water after they arrived?

Before they ever got there, the Veneti people established a city, at sea level, called Venice that is well over 2000 years old.

So before there was a fuckton of ice on Greenland, and after there was a fuckton of ice on Greenland, the sea level didn't move. Yet we are supposed to panic and abandon the coasts, destroy all of our cars, power plants and kill all our cattle because some retarded Swedish girl missed a week of school?

How stupid do you have to be to cling to this MMGW bullshit?

According to the OP's chart ... 45% of all the ice on Greenland melted in just a few days in July ... I think you have a conservation of energy problem with your claim ...

I think you have a comprehension problem, as you actually thought "percentage of surface that saw melting" meant "percentage of ice that melted."

Those charts show snowfall/melt balance.

They don't show glacier calving, which has massively accelerated, causing the massively negative ice balance.

SSDD knows this, as we've pointed it out to him many times. He deliberately chooses to lie-by-omission. His shit-smeared soul is owned by Satan, the Lord of LIes.

SSDD, given that you deliberately lied about that, why shouldn't everyone assume everything you write is a lie?

Oh wait, too late, everyone does assume that.

You still have a conservation of energy problem ... do you know what "conservation" is and why it's important ... it's a math thing, maybe you know someone who can answer this for you ... Hint: it involves mass ...

Increased glacier calving is due to glaciers growing.......you cry when they retreat...you cry when they grow....what, exactly doesn't make you cry?
