Maybe Greenland’s Ice Sheet Isn’t Melting as Fast as We Thought.

Yep, it's almost completely disappeared. Won't be long now. They'll start farming it.

The endless misinformation released by the IPCC as well as the Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming fanatics never ceases. Not only are they now at the stage where anything they state regarding the planet has to be run through a "Lie Detector" before it is even considered and then the final test is checking the figures. They are still of the opinion that "MODELS", those soothsayer's astrological rantings must be 100% correct, well, just because.

It would appear that fellow soothsayers at the BBC have also had a revelation, a wake up call, as they have been the worst over the last decade at promoting CAGW and ignoring any discent and erasing any comment of all their forums or articles that did not toe the hypocritical company hysteria. Such hypocrites.

One would question the guess work of anyone would prophesied anything to do with the future. Even Nostradamus was not 100% correct with his guestimates, but allowing biased warmists, idealogical stunted scientists to dictate the action of the weather in a hundred years or a thousand years time, does border on lunacy. Their guestimates have already been soundly proven to be either falsified, gossly exaggerated,completely incorrect or just downright lies.

On Second Thought, Maybe Greenland’s Ice Sheet Isn’t Melting as Fast as We Thought

BBC:

Ice loss from Greenland’s vast sheet may happen mainly in short bursts, research by Danish scientists suggests.

They used aerial photos dating back to the 1980s to plot shrinking of glaciers around the island’s northwest coast.

In the journal Science, they show that most of the ice loss happened in two periods – 1985-1993 and 2005-10 – with relative stability in between.

They say it will be hard to project sea level changes from Greenland ice melt until these patterns are deciphered.

A complete melt of the ice sheet would raise sea levels globally by about 7m, but it could take centuries for this to occur.

Last month, Nasa released evidence showing that ice melting had been observed across virtually the whole extent of the Greenland ice sheet, unprecedented in the satellite era.

Days earlier, an iceberg twice the size of Manhattan broke away from the Petermann glacier in northwest Greenland.

Dramatic though those events were, neither means much on its own for the long-term picture.

The last global climate assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in 2007 said that “dynamic” melting – where ice loss suddenly accelerates, for example because sea temperatures rise – was too poorly understood to be accurately modelled.

The new Danish paper is one of a number that have emerged since in an attempt to improve understanding.

Thin data

In recent years, satellites have found fast rates of retreat in a number of Greenlandic glaciers, as well as an overall loss of mass as measured by the Grace mission, which detects minuscule changes in the Earth’s gravitational field.

But other studies suggested the rapid retreat was not consistent.

With the two most important satellite missions – Grace and ICESat – dating back less than a decade, there is obviously a danger that scientists will decipher accurately what is happening now and assume this is a constant pattern.

The rest here.

Hubert Lamb, One Honest Climate Scientist.

One normally meets a blatant obvious lie with such incredulity as to respond with their mouth open. Why, because the lie you have just been told is that obvious and that blatant, that the mind has only one response and everything else is forgotten. That is how the majority of people reacted when faced with the blatant chicanery by the CAGW pseudo-scientists, when those UEA (Uni. of East Anglia)  emails were released. One wondered how it was possible for a group of scientists to blatantly and obviously lie about the weather. Not only that, but they colluded and adjusted data and studies of what was supposed to be "peer reviewed"(now know as Pal Review) climate information to be used as guidelines to an ignorant public and government.

Their methods worked well as we have seen billions of dollars wasted on copious useless methods that were supposed to reduce carbon in the atmosphere and has in actual fact achieved absolutely nothing noticeable at all. The entire CAGW is a total scam waiting to be exposed but unfortunately, the main stream media have fallen for those lies as well and refuse to ask the apporpriate questions or practise any level of journalistic integrity on the subject. It has all become a major farce of gigantic proportions and it's still growing in magnitude as we have just witnessed at the latest energy wasting, CO2 inducing RIO20 carnival.

Meanwhile the old scientists, those who still have/had integrity and were not affected by political bullying, have records and studies that shows what happened in the past. The honest, untainted and true version that is.

Hubert Lamb was one of the leading climatologists of his time, indeed described in one obituary as the greatest. He spent most of his career at the UK Met Office before founding and becoming the first director of the Climatic Research Unit. He wrote many books, but perhaps “Climate: Present , Past & Future” was the most significant. Here we review Volume 2, amounting to 836 pages, which particularly looks at climatic trends over the centuries.

Here we have a scientist with obvious integrity and un-influenced by politics, who would study the facts and declare the truth of what he had studied. That was how it was originally done.  There are a lot of honourable scientists right now who are totally disgusted by the actions of the CAGW alarmists, those who stand to make money from their own dishonesty and lies.

Quotes from Lamb's Huge Books on the topic.

It was after 2000-1500 BC that most of the present glaciers in the Rocky Mountains south of  57 ^o N were formed and that major re-advance of those in the Alaskan Rockies first took place.
And at their subsequent advanced positions – probably around 500 BC as well as between 1650 and 1850 AD – the glaciers in the Alps regained an extent, estimated in the Glockner region, at about 5 times their Bronze Age Minimum, when all the smaller ones had disappeared.
