Greenland Ice Sheet Melts At Record Rate In 2010
RedEaredSlider writes "A study using satellite and ground-based data is showing the Greenland ice sheets are setting a record for the areas exposed to melting and the rate at which they are doing so. NASA says 2010 was a record warm year, and temperatures in the Arctic were a good 3 degrees C over normal."
This is a great page to follow information on sea ice trends at both poles.
Just say "no" to the religion of AGW... there are much more pressing problems to solve here.
As others have pointed out, rising based on what? How do you know what the co2 and methane levels were 1000 years ago? 2000 years ago? 100,000 years ago? "Rising" is a relative term. When we can't predict the weather accurately three hours from now, how exactly am I supposed to believe they can tell me precisely what effect we're having on the environment? It would be one thing if we were dumping toxic waste into a stream and killing everything in site. But to claim on a grand scale that we're dramatically changing weather patterns has proven in the past to be absolute rubbish (global cooling in the 70's). As others have stated, with such a small sample set, claiming to have a definitive map of what's going on does a disservice to people studying our climate.
