The sun rises two days early in Greenland, sparking fears that climate change is accelerating

The sun over Greenland has risen two days early, baffling scientists and sparking fears that Arctic icecaps are melting faster than previously thought.

But a local Greenlander then makes the inconvenient post that -

The funny thing is that the sun in Ilulissat factually rises from behind mountains without ice §.-)

Whatever, it’s baffled science somewhat but if the sun at Ihulissat does rise from behind mountains without ice,


then the horizon could have “sunk” a little, which could be explained by an increase in the ice mass of Greenland itself, or the partial collapse of the local crust due to the emptying of magma – but Ole is right – the sun does rise from behind the mountains. Notice that the view on the Daily Mail site is to the south, not the east as indicated by the Google image above.
Add the fact that the horizon is generally 8 km distant if one is at sea level, so if the sun appears earlier than expected, then either observer is higher up, or the horizon some 8km distant has dropped slightly. Not to be discounted are other factors, such as a slight change in the earth’s rotational dynamics but if the reported comment from the Central Institute for Meteorology in Vienna is correct, then local changes would be responsible.
Notice that it’s the appearance of the solar sphere itself over the horizon that is the crucial observation – so if it appears earlier then that’s due to the horizon dropping, or the land dropping with respect to an observer to the west looking east.
Science remains mystified and we thought the science was settled.

A Universal Theory of Earth's Changing Crust

[SIZE=+1] [/SIZE][SIZE=+1]The Theory of Continental Drift has gained almost an indisputable approval. According to this theory an Indian plate is pushing under an Eurasian plate and lifting it several kilometers. But it is impossible. The solid upper layer is 50-100 kilometers thick with an average density of 3g/cm3. The pressure below it is approximately 15000-30000 bar. The magma would flow towards the Indian plate, where the pressure is lower. The forces suggested in the Theory of Continental Drift (convection currents) are too weak to move continents, especially against counter-pressure of several thousand bars.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]My theory is, that the primary cause for the crustal movements is a change in the axial tilt, a shift of the spin axis of the Earth. Many researchers have speculated with this idea, but have not been able to prove it or explained it with an external agent colliding with the Earth. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]I decided to analyze, what happens after an axis shift. For the analysis I developed a simulation model. To approach the problem mathematically, I used a new concept, which I call the "Globe". The "Globe" is an immaterial copy of the Earth in its early liquid state, a mathematical formula for it, an exact mathematical ellipsoid. The "Globe" is connected with the spinning of the Earth so, that its minor axis always coincides with the spin axi[/SIZE]
