A link to the article on Daily Mail.  Daily Mail - Ice melts in Greenland  There is a nice NASA picture of change in global temperature from 1884 to 2018.

It's just so hard to tell if there is anything to this whole climate change thing...

So that's around 10 trillion liters. Which is about 5 liters per square meter.

That's about like spreading a gallon of water over ten square feet. I'd barely notice.

The article says that one warm day recently just caused global ocean levels to rise 0.5mm.  One day's worth of melting.  Granted it was a hot day.

One of the theories is that the little ice age in Europe was caused by a sudden melting of greenland ice causing freshwater to suppress the saltwater current that makes Europe warm.

Just saying...

That would be okay if water was nice enough to stay perfectly evenly dispersed and not move around so darned much 😁

Ice melt (or freeze up) on a single day is meaningless.  Even net change (in either direction) in ice over a decade, let alone a season, or year is noise more than signal.  On century long time scales it begins to be significant.  Multi-century to millennial time scales are much more significant.  The earth has been warming and ice levels fluctuating but mostly dropping since the end of the Little Ice Age around 150 years ago.  In another 1000 years we'll have enough data to perhaps understand some of these cycles better.

This thread has attracted too many posts that aren't nice.  Those posts have been removed and the thread locked.  Posts in the Cider Press need to follow the same publishing standards as posts anywhere else on the site.
