New York Times Sliming Their Readers Again Posted on October 27, 2015 by stevengoddard The full melting of Greenland’s ice sheet could increase sea levels by about 20 feet. TimesMachine: December 7, 1958 – NYTimes.com Even the most ridiculous estimates of ice loss in Greenland are less than 200 km³ per year. The volume of the ice sheet is 3,000,000 km³. Using the most aggressive claims, it would take 15,000 years for the ice sheet to melt. That accounts for a sea level rise of about one hundredth of an inch per year. Does Coral Davenport think that one inch of sea level rise over the next century is going to drown her? But the reality is that the surface of Greenland gains about 300 billion tons of ice every year. Greenland is not melting. Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Mass Budget: DMI Ninety percent of the ice sheet gained mass from September 1, 2014 to August 30, 2015. Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Mass Budget: DMI Claims that the ice sheet is losing 200 km³ / year are based on unreliable gravity calculations made by people with an agenda. Glacial flow to the ocean is controlled by the amount of excess ice building up in the interior. If for some reason the amount of ice building up in the interior decreased, flow would also decrease. The New York Times has been reporting this same hysteria for almost 85 years. TimesMachine: May 15, 1932 – NYTimes.com TimesMachine: June 24, 1930 – NYTimes.com Thirty years later they were predicting a new ice age. December 7, 1958 – NYTimes.com ..... Steve Case says: October 27, 2015 at 4:41 pm Antarctica isn’t melting any time soon either. In the IPCC’s AR4 they reported that Antarctica would contribute negatively to sea level rise for the remainder of this century. I think they’ve reversed that or put up some gobbledygook to disguise the fact in the AR5.
