Greenland was named Greenland a thousand years ago. Greenland was pretty much then what it was like today Does anyone ever wonder why Greenland was named Green Land? It is because it was much more green at that time. Climate has always changed and some just refuse to admit it. So called scientists are the best example. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eemian Ronwagn is correct. Like the politicians like to say : "It is the Economy stupid." I hereby create the phrase : "It is Normal Climate Change stupid." .............................................................................................................. I have avoided joining this thread so far because, as most of you know, i do not believe in Global Warming under the standard definition of it being something that "IS CAUSED BY MANKIND." ............................................................................................................. Nonetheless, since everyone else is here, i will give you my 2 cents....... ............................................................................................................. There is an ebb and flow to the changes in ICE in Greenland. In the past, it was greener than it is now, but ALSO, even farther in the past, Greenland was under miles of ice much thicker than mankind has ever experienced. It goes back and forth... Greenland is at that "special place" heme-spherically on Earth, just like that Earth is in that "special orbit" in comparison to the other planets around the SUN. Greenland is in a place where it drifts back and forth, losing ice for a time, then gaining it back for a time, then losing it again... This is all known history... What is happening in Greenland is just another piece of Normal CLIMATE CHANGE that has been going on for millions of years and will continue to do so for millions more in the future. And it has nothing to do with mankind... Back in the 1970's, everyone in Science and the Media stated that the Earth was facing another ICE AGE in the future..? ICE AGE: Remember that ? All of America, and All of Europe used to be under glaciers.............. Are we going to state that all of those glaciers retreated because the Neanderthals learned how to use fire ? Obviously not. SO THE ICE ON EARTH HAS BEEN RETREATING FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS........ THAT IS A SCIENTIFIC FACT......... AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MANKIND......... What is happening in Greenland is just a continuation of that retreat. Recently, there have been several articles stating the MAGNETIC NORTH POLE is moving ( IT IS ), and that it MUST BE because of Global Warming.....! Garbage.. I do not recall the exact details, but if i recall, back in the 1960's i read that scientists, (REAL SCIENTISTS, NOT THE PC CHUMPS WE HAVE TODAY), had discovered that thousands of years ago, the MAGNETIC NORTH POLE USED TO BE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFRICAN SAHARA DESERT..........! That interested me at the time because i was born not far from there in Morocco. They subsequently found that the MAGNETIC NORTH POLE IS ALWAYS MOVING, AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN MOVING, AND WILL ALWAYS BE MOVING... THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY, BUT BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MAGNETIC QUALITIES OF LAVA DEEP BELOW THE MANTLE OF THE EARTH... That magnetic lava creates the "effect" that we call "Magnetic North Pole", and the pole moves around, as the lava moves around, deep under the mantle... So tell me, if the Magnetic North Pole used to be in Northern Africa, and moved to it's current position at the top of the Northern Hemisphere, and all of this happened thousands of years before Mankind invented fire, HOW CAN THE CURRENT MOVEMENT OF THE MAGNETIC NORTH POLE BE BLAMED ON THE ACTIVITIES OF MANKIND ? The answer is that it cannot. And in that same way, what is happening in Greenland is just a normal part of the continual evolution of the Planet Earth. MANKIND must adjust to it, BUT, MANKIND did not cause it... In conclusion, over the last few decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the number, and strength, of EARTHQUAKES on the "circle of fire" around the Pacific Rim. It is my belief that what is happening there is far more important to Mankind, and our ability to survive on this planet, than what is happening in Greenland. And NO, the "ring of fire" is not caused by Mankind either... Edited January 16, 2019 by Illurion 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(kind of at least ) (2) The chart you posted is so ridiculous, as it covers a mere 16 years. What is really going on here has been going on since the creation of this planet, and you want to make judgments on such things with such a silly chart. irrelevant.. (3) as for all of your other "there is no science" etc. There is actually plenty of science, it is just that you do not know about it, or you ignore it, or you do not agree with it... As for the "ring of fire"... There are thousands of studies, and books, and college programs about it.... But of course, none of that exists because RED says so....

What i wrote is consistent with the facts, what you wrote is factless other than a silly chart with limited numbers, taken out of context. The bottom line is that Greenland will be fine, and the people there will adapt to the normal climatic changes that are occurring.

The only thing you "consistently show" is that you are self-absorbed, have the liberal syndrome of "you believe what you want to believe", and have an unusually high opinion of yourself.

I see the term "RED" in pretty much the same way... To be "RED", is to ignore the facts presented, or claim they aren't facts, or "spin" a loss by claiming the facts "do not make sense", and then make matters worse by asking even more irrelevant questions.

Why not back up your baseless assertions? Just moments ago you posted an article about Nils Mörner which was devoid of a single fact.

Wasn't he teaching dowsing at the Uni he worked at until they banned him from teaching what is effectively divination. Perhaps he prefers to use a couple of sticks to predict sea level change rather than satellite altimeter readings which he chooses to ignore BTW - My Gran could teach people how to read the future from tea leaves but she never got a well paid job at a Uni.

That's true - they are different things entirely Morner, on the other hand, pointed out many specific "facts".... I watched the entire video and he did present some charts which were reliable but had nothing to do with his specific claims. For example, the video showed a temperature chart (somewhere from 6:30 to 7:00 minutes in) which only included data to 2013, yet it's now 2019. The hottest years since records have been kept have occurred after 2013. Chinese loans have nothing to do with claims about sea levels. His comments were of no scientific merit. you do not "have" to believe him... He would need to present reasoned evidence - he never did. but that doesn't "mean he is wrong."
