A Warming Arctic
Greenland's Ice Sheet Melting Faster than Ever
Everyone knows that the ice sheet on Greenland is melting. But new research shows it is disappearing much faster than previously thought. The findings could mean that ocean levels are also rising more quickly. By Christoph Seidler more...

There are few things that are all bad. Suppose that the whole of Greenland's ice melts, raising the sea level by 7 metres: that will reduce the available land area very considerably. Pressure for living space will lead to population reduction, people will learn the hard way about planetary management.
Catastrophe might be the only thing left that can save us.
Well Edgar, there will be an awful lot more land in Kalaallit Nunaat. I look forward to holidays in Nuuk.
Edgar - I fear you're right about that. Folks are reluctant to change their behaviour except in the face of catastrophic consequences.
Tris - I wonder how high the Greenland plateau will spring up after all the weight of the ice has gone?
I've been watching property prices in the far north of Canada for some time and they're climbing fast. Folks seem to want some tundra acreage for some reason. Perhaps they forgot about the methane?
Has Siberia melted yet ?
Banned - the arctic is all melting and there is great concern among those who live there.

Greenland is so called because.....?
The Vikings settled there because it was a green fertile land.
A farming settlement was found under a glacier that collapsed, which was found to be around 50 years old.
It's normal climate change has been since time began. The planet has been cooling for 10 years. Sea levels are the same as they were 50 years ago. CO2 levels do not drive warming patterns, it is in the geological records of the planet. The IPCC are behaving in a fraudulent manner by only accepting evidence that drives their agenda, and consequently attracts more of our taxes. It is all a computer model driven con.
