Greenland's ice sheet has melted during our current ice age. It could melt again

[jc456]

It is actually possible. The bedrock under the West Antactic Ice Sheet is below sea level and the sheet has begun separating from the bedrock. Relatively warm sea water goes miles under the ice with the tides. It is physically possible, though unlikely, that the entire thing could catastropically separate from it's bedrock in a matter of days. The global rise would be between 3 and 5 meters (7.6 to 16.4 feet).

what would need to happen is the continents surrounding the arctic need to move out of the way and allow more current flow from the Atlantic. Isolation of Greenland from the Atlantic is why there is ice on that land, and any added CO2 will do absolutely nothing to ice melt. Zero!! You can't post anything to show that is factually true.

In what manner is Greenland isolated from the Atlantic Ocean?

where does it go? it can't get around the continent. You show only one side of the continent. The current must flow around the entire land and out into the Pacific.

You said isolated from the Atlantic, not isolated from the Gulf Stream.

Does the Gulf Stream flow around Europe? No. Is Europe influenced by the Gulf Stream? Yes

Was that supposed to show us the route by which the Gulf Stream circumnavigates Europe?

I disagree. are you one of those who throw tantrums and will tell me I'm not allowed to disagree? You throw some whoppers of tantrums in here. Can't maintain a calm cool collected approach huh?

You are not here to discuss real science, liar. You are here to obstruct.

It's really quite clear, the reason for ice in the arctic is due to the inability of warm pacific and atlantic currents to get into the circle by the way the continents surround the circle, and the fact that antarctica separated from south america is why there is now ice in the south pole, no warmer pacific and atlantic water flow around the pole. Seems the reasons are not because of your 600 miles nonsense. It's due to lack of warmer currents around the poles.

Really, so currents are the reason why all land on Earth within 600 miles of a pole is in ice age and all land outside of 600 miles of a pole is not.

Got it...

And those currents never change, never. Just ask the residents of Cape Cod, because their ocean water fluctuates 10-15F in a year...

Ocean currents are to water what wind is to air. There is no net change of heat on Earth because of direction.

The Greenland Ice Sheet is protected by cold waters of mostly Arctic origin against the temperate Atlantic waters from the southeast.

Greenland Ice Sheet | Definition, History, Volume, Map, & Facts | Britannica

The Greenland Ice Sheet is a single ice sheet or glacier covering about 80 percent of the island of Greenland. It is the largest ice mass in the Northern Hemisphere, globally second in size to only the Antarctic ice mass. It contains 12 percent of the world’s glacier ice and was first crossed by...

Amazing coincidence, that water in the Arctic Ocean is colder than the Atlantic...

Who would've thought???

Now, what about land within 600 miles of a pole, is that colder than land near the equator??

the 600 mile thing is all yours, mine is the fact that the inability for warm water to get to the poles is why there's ice.

Were all of Greenland's ice cap to melt, it would raise sea levels by tens of feet. New ice coring that has reached through the ice and found evidence of vegetation underneath, more recently than once thought, shows that it is indeed possible.

Greenland’s Ice Sheet Isn’t As Solid as We Thought – and That’s Terrifying

New evidence shows Greenland's ice sheet once melted completely, revealing a tundra below. This suggests increased vulnerability to climate change and significant potential sea level rises. New research provides the first direct evidence that the center, not just the edges, of Greenland’s ice she

I am curious how long such a melt would take.

Would you expect different sea levels for different mean ocean temperatures (MOT)? Do you think the relationship between sea level and MOT has changed over the past 50 million years? In other words, isn't sea level versus MOT well established for the last 50 million years? Doesn't that all make sense?

What they fail to realize is the fact, Antarctica separation from South America changed oceans currents. You think that just may have affected temperature in the sea
