On June 9 2016, Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, reached the warmest temperature ever recorded for the month of June anywhere on the island, 24 degrees Celsius (75 degrees Fahrenheit). An article from NSDIC, published June 22 elaborated on the broader situation: Surface melting on Greenland’s Ice Sheet proceeded at [...]
The main point that I want to make concerns the threat of irreparable harm, which I feel we have not communicated well enough to people who most need to know, the public and policymakers.
Uncertainty in predictions of ice melt. The Paleo record has sobering evidence of massive melts in the recent past.
A widely circulated piece of climate denial nonsense purports to use legitimate evidence from Greenland ice cores.
At the Stable Isotope Lab in Boulder, Colo., scientists are doing a lot of the same things that those CSI folks do on TV. But instead of being "crime scene investigators," these experts are more like "cold scene investigators."
In Antarctica
Rapid collapse of Antarctic glaciers could flood coastal cities by the end of this century.
