Meanwhile, in the SW US, where people actually live, they are setting new heat records.
 
YIKES, the link also indicates they are gaining ice.

They are ruining a perfectly good alarmist talking point.
 
You don’t get the big bucks grants saying there is nothing wrong and everything is fine!

Greenland is gaining surface ice in some areas, as are parts of Antarctica. This is expected as climate change increases precipitation.

If you actually follow the link to where this blog (“The Deplorable Climate Science Blog”, lol) took the figure from it explains what that figure actually represents. The parts of that figure that are blue or purple are gaining water mass, but the parts that are red are losing more than the purple parts are gaining. Altogether Greenland is losing 200 Gt/yr (200 billion tons per year) of ice. So no, Greenland is not gaining ice.
 
That website certainly looks like a disinterested, objective operation without an agenda to push…:rolleyes:

Your link confirmed significant increase in ice mass the past year. We’ll need to wait before knowing if this year was a blip are sign of a reversal

September 1 to now, not the last year. The major ice melt happens in July and August, so the ice mass balance won’t be comparable to previous years until the end of August.

This would have been a better image for me to post, showing the ice accumulation so far this year is at/above the historical record (1981-2010). It’s not bad news but hardly enough data to show significance. Could be an anomally driven by el nino/ la nina.

when will rational people understand that the theory of MMGW is horsehockey?

But when I say . . . .
Meanwhile, in the wherever US, where people actually live, they are setting new cold records.

Or if I say . . .
Meanwhile, in the wherever US, where people actually live, the temperatures are pretty much average.

I get told tout suite from my global warming alarmist friends . . . .
"That’s irrelevant. That’s weather! Not climate!"

Is it “climate” only if it supports the global warming agenda?

God bless.
