Oh noes. An ice sheet that didn't exist 1100 years ago might melt some more. What a disaster.

So, if it didn't exist 1100 years ago, why can they get 800,000 years of ice data from it?

Temporal-Science?

Temporal-Science?

Denier magic.

It's funny, how things are moving down the predicted path of AGW; and the anti-science propagandists are flogging things to their minions that are so obviously false. It seems the further the science is backing itself up, the harder the lobbyists are trying to pretend the science doesn't exist and the harder the people fooled into believing it double down to maintain that delusion.

It's just so odd. But I definitely see how people like Mark Sargent maintain their following.

I've long maintained we're due for a cull. This stupidity will facilitate it.

[DrCaleb]

I'm all for climate Darwinism, but what if all them don't die?

[llama66]

Hopefully they'll learn vicariously about being stupid.

As if the entire mass of the Greenland ice sheet is going to melt because of a few days of heat.

And where did you read that?

Certainly wasn't this article.

But there was the scare word "threatening" in the title and the article was anxious to point out what would happen if all the ice in Greenland melted.

And 'OMG!" there was a heat wave in Europe!!! And this time it's a record. The sense I get from the CBC is "We're doomed."

What the CBC didn't tell us however is this:

$1:

Like most scientists, I agree that climate change － both natural fluctuations or man-made forcings like land use and urbanization － should cause weather patterns and the intensity and/or frequency of extreme weather or weather-related events to change.

It’s indeed possible that the warmer atmosphere today as compared to the 1980s may have made this heatwave slightly more intense. However, nobody knows for sure because heatwaves have always occurred; some are just worse than others. It’s summer.

While this heatwave is the latest poster child for the “ecological breakdown,” there is a natural explanation for this heatwave, as with all other weather events.

There’s been a persistent weather pattern that’s causing this bake fest. A large area of high pressure is stationed over Europe and an area of low pressure is situated off of the coast of Ireland.⁴ The wind flow around the pressure centers are drawing in air from the south, which is blowing hot, Saharan air into Europe (Figure 3).⁴ This natural process occurs with or without 415 parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

It's written in the melting ice.

Would that make it a fluid language?

No, it was the headline:
