We know that there has been massive melting ice, shrinking ice sheets, a dark zone that is a huge problem, that the melting is accelerating, faster than at any time in the last 400 years.
We all know “this is scary” and due to climate change and could raise sea levels by 20 feet. And that’s just the news stories in the last two weeks.
At NoTricksZone, Kenneth Richards has found an up to date graph of Greenland temperatures buried in the supplement of a new paper by Mikkelsen et al., 2018:
So Greenland hasn’t been showing signs of warming since man-made CO2 started rapidly rising after World War II. Indeed Greenland has been not responding to CO2 for 140 years or maybe a million.
Serious researchers have known this for years. It’s not like a flat trend suddenly popped up to surprise us.
Hat tip to Bob FJ for sending graphs and links to earlier studies last year. Even far back in 2004, it was obvious Greenland was not warming like it was supposed to.
That hasn’t stopped flocks of researchers and journalists from not mentioning it. This story is just as much about the media as it is about Greenland.
The World Climate Report (skeptics) was pointing out this in 2004 (and 2000).
Figure 1 shows the IPCC near-surface air temperature record for Greenland, which includes a highly statistically significant cooling of 0.11°C (0.20°F) per decade over the past 64 years!
For the record, GISS graphs of separate Greenland stations are behaving in cyclical patterns.
Paul Matthews suggested in 2015 that the cycles matched up with the AMP (Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation).

And according to Al Bore the Ice Caps would be long gone by now and Hollywood Airhead DiCaprio claimed if you reject Global Warming/Climate Change your rejecting the truth and coming from some has been who’s career is pretending to be someone he is’nt and Al Bore is just a Snake Oil Salesman selling his fake product to the suckers who recite his idiotic poem
The fact that proper scientific information was already available in 2007, showing that there is no danger of ice sheets collapsing, indicates the devious nature of mainstream media and so-called scientists feeding their computer generated scare stories to them. Reality does not form part of the climate alarmist cabal. For the real story, here is a proper explanation of the ice sheet situation:

Get the facts, make the right decision.
There warming in Greenland due to geothermal activity. That is what the alarmist and media will focus on but they will claim the cause is climate change. We need to be aware of this.
