Likewise, for Greenland. You know, the place you keep claiming is expanding? Sure your point is well taken, now Greenland has indeed lost some ice during the last 115 years, a full total of 0.3% that is! If you do the math that means, that Greenland has retained 99.7% of it's total ice mass during the same time. (At the same time the Greenland land-mass has indeed expanded due to the land elevation as a result of the weight relief from the ice burden gone.) Evidence? Check link below, follow the math -or rather ask somebody capable of handle this high school level math for you - and, if still capable of doing that, wise up out there on your left-most wing :) /Taro Greenland retained 99.7% of its ice mass in 20th Century!!! David Middleton / December 30, 2015 (Featured image borrowed from clipartbest.com Naturally, the Real Clear Science headline actually read… Greenland Lost 9 Trillion Tons of Ice in Century Which sounds even more serious than the original headline… Greenland has lost 9,000 billion tons of ice in a century One would think that the fact that 99.7% of Greenland’s ice sheet survived the 20th Century might just be more scientifically relevant than a 0.3% loss… But I guess that doesn’t make for a very dramatic headline. wattsupwiththat.com
