Global warming tards. You never heard that theory? The one I saw was when 'they' were coveing Greenland and the receding glaciers. I can probably find it again as it seemed to be one main points that was used.
Surface Melt Adds to Ice Loss in Greenland : Discovery News
Instead of losing ice where massive glaciers meet the sea, Greenland now sends meltwater rushing into the ocean via a vast network of lakes and rivers, according to several studies. The results do not mean that
glaciers have stopped their speedy flow, only that surface melting now exerts a more powerful influence on ice loss, researchers said.
"We no longer see giant icebergs calving" from glaciers, releasing ice into the sea, said Lora Koenig, a glaciologist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center, who led one of the new studies. "The majority of water is coming from surface melt." [

Greenland Glaciers Losing Ice Much Faster, Study Says
Warming surface temperatures in Greenland are allowing more meltwater to trickle down to the glacier bed. There, where glacier meets earth, the water acts as a lubricant, allowing the ice to flow more quickly to the ocean.
When the increasing speed of the glacier ice is factored into sea level rise models, Greenland accounts for about 0.02 inch (0.5 millimeter) per year of the global rise, which currently stands at about 0.1 inch (3 millimeters) per year, he said.
The recent increases in glacier speed on Greenland are responsible for more than two-thirds of Greenland's contribution to sea level rise, he added.
