    Default The Ice Sheet Hit a Tipping Point': Greenland Melting Even Faster Than Feared

    While climate scientists have repeatedly raised alarm about the how human-caused global warming is driving "off the charts" ice loss in Greenland that will contribute to devastating sea level rise, a new analysis of a less studied region has ramped up those concerns, revealing that Greenland's ice sheet is melting even faster than previously thought.

    "We're going to see faster and faster sea level rise for the foreseeable future."
    —Michael Bevis, Ohio State University
    "We are watching the ice sheet hit a tipping point," warned lead author Michael Bevis, a geodynamics professor at Ohio State University. "We're going to see faster and faster sea level rise for the foreseeable future."

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    So, "We have never really studied this area but because we noticed something there, it is clear proof of global warming" doesn't pass the smell test. Maybe there is a fucking volcano under there. How would you know if you haven't studied the area?

    Very scary.

    We've got to dump Trump and get a leader who understands the situation.

    It's bad enough that people believe a president controls the economy and the stock market, even oil prices.
    But when folks actually believe a president can control the weather, well...

    Obfuscation is the tactic of science deniers.

    This is main stream science you are denying.

    All I'm denying is that a president can control the weather. You must consider presidents omnipotent.

    I agree that presidents cannot control the weather. Got any more straw men to knock down?

    They can't control the climate, oil prices, the stock market or the economy either. IMO. Maybe they can.

    They do have some control over climate policy.
