Greenland’s Ice is Melting

Dave Dempsey — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 21:23:02 +0000

Chuck Dayton's recent kayak trip in the waters off Greenland's coast confirmed many reports that its ice is melting at an shocking and catastrophic rate. The Minnesota conservation advocate is a 40-year veteran of the environmental movement; Dayton recently completed a kayaking expedition in the waters off Greenland. He returned with first-hand observations of alarming changes in glacial ice: "Global warming is real in Greenland; you can hear it. You can see the shrinking glaciers, and the melt-water atop the massive ice cap, and you know that as it melts, the seas will rise with disastrous consequences."

Greenland Ice Sheet Melting Faster than Ever

More data show that ‘Yes, climate change is happening, ice is melting at alarming rates, and the time for action is now.’

Independent research using state-of-the-art modeling and satellite observations shows that melting of the Greenland ice sheet is speeding up.

Four months ago, new research showed that Arctic sea ice was at its lowest point in about 800 years, another study a couple months ago showed suprisingly fast melting in Greenland and Antarctica. Now, research from other scientists in Bristol (UK) published in Science confirms that ice sheets in Greenland are melting at an unprecedented rate.

There has been a lot of effort in the past few months to knock down climate change activists, say it isn’t happening. No wonder, of course, given that we are quickly approaching one of the most important meetings in the history of the human race — the climate change conference in Copenhagen. This new report shows again that whether we admit it or not, ice is melting, sea levels are bound to rise, climate change is happening, and the whole world will be changed as a result of it.
