Part 2: Oil is bad for the Earth -- target Greenland (and Nils-Axel Moron)

Well, the unsurprising news is that the Greenland ice sheet is melting faster. It's been warm up Arctic way for many decades now, so that's why I say it's unsurprising. This may be surprising to the conservative wing who thinks "it's the Sun, stupid". Sorry, wrong driver.


Greenland ice loss 'accelerating'

For the period 2000-2008, melting Greenland ice raised sea levels by an average of about 0.46mm per year.

Since 2006, that has increased to 0.75mm per year.

"Since 2000, there's clearly been an accelerating loss of mass [from the ice sheet]," said lead researcher Michiel van den Broeke from Utrecht University in the Netherlands.

"But we've had three very warm summers, and that's enhanced the melt considerably.

"If this is going to continue, I cannot tell - but we do of course expect the climate to become warmer in the future."

In total, sea levels are rising by about 3mm per year, principally because seawater is expanding as it warms.

Now, about that last part. It's REAL hard to explain that away with faulty surface weather station siting, leading to erroneous weather data, I think. And there's only one crackpot moron (true name: Nils-Axel Mörner) who denies it's happening.

This is Nils-Axel Morner. Print this picture and place it on dartboard, archery, or pistol range target. Aim carefully. Revel in your symbolic act of addressing climate disinformation.
