Incase you missed it: Most of Greenland melted in July.

I'm seeing fields & fields of corn in S.E. Saskatchewan this year. I've never
seen that before either. Most of it was between 3&1/2 to 6 feet tall as of
a few days back. That area is still water saturated from the winter before
the last one, and last years rains on top of this years too.
There is lots of corn around S'toon. Have you ran across a hemp field yet?

For those who may be interested there are long term consequences if the Greenland ice sheet continues to melt at the same rate. One of these is that the sruface water on top of the ice sheet has to go somewhere. It doesn't just sit there in a huge lake for the summer. Instead it sinks into the ice through thousands of cracks and crevices, some of them as large as major rivers. All of this water then runs under the ice sheet, lubricating the ice and resulting in more ice calving into the ocean. If enough ice gets into the north Atlantic it could cool the ocean significantly resulting in major changes in weather patterns. What will the changes be? Who knows? But changing an established weather pattern is not usually good news for humanity.

Yep- like the ice cube in your glass of water, but within a short time it all comes back to room temperature. Even if every iota of ice in Greenland thawed I doubt if it would lower the temperature of the Atlantic Ocean 1/2 a degree- probably more like 0.01 degree as the Atlantic is a cold ocean to start with.

I think the depth of the ice melt would be much more important than the surface area of the melt.

It is seven metres and that is now inevitable.

And of all the stupidity that is posted on these threads this has to be pushing the boundaries out into space. Is there not one of you with even a semblance of a brain.

But I require around 100 meters to have waterfront property. Come on sunshine.

Much of the record breaking loss of ice in the Arctic ocean in recent years is down to the region’s swirling winds and is not a direct result of global warming, a new study reveals.

Ice blown out of the region by Arctic winds can explain around one-third of the steep downward trend in sea ice extent in the region since 1979, the scientists say.
There must be a high CO2 content to those winds.

There is no message to attack: no scientific critique. The messenger is a fraud so why not attack fraud? I showed the fraud since it lies in the Ice Melt and the reasons for it that Michaels pretends do not exist.

Then, what the devil does any Carbon credit structure have to do with th science that Michaels is denying?

The science is not "falling apart." It is now so solid and indisputable that only fools and frauds still try to contradict it. There has not been a peer reviewd paper, save a couple in publications that reputable scientists will not use, published in several years that, with any credibility, disputes any part of the body of work and evidence.

Your final paragraph is too foolish to need reply. THe whole world of science is totally supportive of AGW within climate change.

All you have shown is pseudo science and called anyone that disagrees with you a fraud. So far as I can tell you and a few other truthers are the only frauds on here.

You get more ridiculous by the post. All the science on climate science is pseudo science? The laes of physics that the science of climate employs to make its findings are pseudo science.

Every researching climate scientist in the world is a pseudo scientist?

And you want to be taken seriously.

Nope. only the ones that you quote to back your forgone conclusions I have more faith in the ones you call frauds simply because they are not sheep and question the BS.
