New Video: Greenland “Starting to Slip”

July 29, 2013
climatecrocks.com/2013/07/29/new-video-greenland-starting-to-slip/

Latest video for The Yale Forum on Climate Change & the Media, the first since returning from Greenland – includes interviews with Ice expert Alun Hubbard, who I met in Kangerlussuaq, as well as a snip from Richard Alley, at June’s Chapman conference in Granby, CO, and Jason Box, who spoke from our DarkSnowProject HQ in Sisimiut, in early July.

Takeaway – Greenland represents 22 feet of sea level rise, it’s moving faster than anyone thought it could just a few years ago, and there are processes occurring deep in the ice that may make even faster movement inevitable. According to Hubbard, we may we witnessing the deglaciation of a major ice sheet, with serious global implications.

Greenland was not named Greenland because the Nordic explorer/settlers found it covered with ice.

It sustained farming and cattle/sheep herds for centuries before going back into that mini ice age our planet had a few centuries ago.
I read private correspondence between George Washington and a former Colonel in the Continental Army,
in which George mentioned how lucky they were that at Valley Forge they had not to deal with the much colder winters of decades past.
I personally believe humans 'industry have contributed significantly to current climate change.

That it is cyclic gives the only credence to deniers' claims that industry should be allowed to continue polluting unchecked.

We IMHO, need a middle ground,
accepting the cycles and acknowledging that humans contribute to an acceleration of the cycle of global warming that precedes every ice age.
I recommend "The Cooling" by Lowell Ponte
He saw it coming and warned we are contributing to a disaster for our civilization.

Erik the Red named it Greenland to lure fellow Vikings to the icy island 1,000 years ago according to historians. It was somewhat false advertizing. All of the Vikings in Greenland dies off because they cut down all the trees and removed all the good topsoil to build houses. They starved. The Inuits thrived.

From ice core and sea sediment records going back hundreds of thousands of years, Greenland is experiencing record deglaciation since 2010. The decade of 2000-2010 was the warmest ever recorded. There is no cooling taking place. The oceans are warming at an alarming rate, 90% more than the land!

What I learned when I was living in Sweden was that Greenland was indeed named thusly to lure other Vikings to icy Greenland and away from arable and much more people-friendly Iceland, named Iceland to keep other Vikings away from Iceland.

Ice cores made in Greenland showed tens of thousands of years of ice. The claim that Greenland used to sustain cattle and agriculture and was warm and green is a myth. Cattle raising and agriculture did not exist 120,000 years ago.
