Rapid Ice Melt in Greenland Baffles Scientists

WASHINGTON?Nearly all of Greenland's massive ice sheet suddenly started melting a bit this month, a freak event that surprised scientists.

Even Greenland's coldest and highest place, Summit station, showed melting. Ice core records show that last happened in 1889 and occurs about once every 150 years.

Three satellites show what NASA calls unprecedented melting of the ice sheet that blankets the island, starting on July 8 and lasting four days. Most of the thick ice remains. While some ice usually melts during the summer, what was unusual was that the melting happened in a flash and over a widespread area.

"You literally had this wave of warm air wash over the Greenland ice sheet and melt it," NASA ice scientist Tom Wagner said Tuesday.

The ice melt area went from 40% of the ice sheet to 97% % in four days, according to NASA. Until now, the most extensive melt seen by satellites in the past three decades was about 55%.

They are predicting this will affect food prices by about 3% - we are so fucked! Beef prices will soar a massive 5% (so a pound of beef will go from $2.50 a pound to $2.63). Oh My God, how will we make it!!!!

And Global warming has nothing to do with it. La Nino is what caused the mild winter and this extremely hot summer.

Lastly, keep in mind, that the majority of the crop producing land is not affected by this drought at all.

JackieRose · 07-26-2012, 07:16 AM

If anyone has been keeping up with space . com and the solar flares, there has been ALOT of activity going on with the sun the last 2 months. It's actually pretty scary to thing that that big ball of fire could ACTUALLY explode....But does one actually believe that or do you just go about your day as if nothing around the world and universe is not going on.

I've for one have been keeping a close eye on things pretty closely, call me a science freak or whatnot but for me it's pretty damn interesting.

Yea, but only 97% of it melted. No big deal. Ice is for suckas anyway. If they wanted ice in Greenland they would have called it Iceland. Now it's green. #winning

What's more important is that a rescued manatee gave birth at SeaWorld and the Olympic torch.

What I don't understand is.... Why isn't the US building massive desalination plants (used to make salt water / sea water so we can use it as drinking water) up north on the Atlantic and Pacific, and build huge canals to carry this water down to the south?

Don't tell me it cannot be done - There are entire countries who live on desalination plants, and we have the California Aqueduct which carries water down from Sacramento down to Southern California.

The expense would massive but I bet you it would create tens of thousands of jobs...

This past winter there was record low snowfall of only 50.6 inches (normal avg. 123.8) and now it's hardly rained.

This whole year has been rough on all types of crops. It got too hot in early spring, causing blooms to come out early only to be killed off by weeks of freezing weather. Apple orchards and others got boned big time.

I'll take a stab at it. Because that proposal would take decades and most politicians try to approve things that can be started and finished within their own terms of office.

The USA has the same problem most other governments have, and that is they do not prepare for such events, even though the odds of a lot of bad shit happening are very high. While a drought is hitting the USA, it's monsoon season here in Asia, and while every single year some of the countries over here get decimated by massive flooding, it seems the governments are still always unprepared to deal with it.

You see how they handle natural disasters, it's usually a disaster. Most other nations are the same. I think it's safe to say that those in the government either don't care about the people, or suffer from the normalcy bias like the majority of their citizens do.

Meanwhile, preppers who are often ridiculed by the masses store food and drill their own water wells. Go figure.

You're a science freak and you think the sun is going to explode, alrighty then. It does not have the mass to go nova and will eventually turn into a red dwarf, in about 5 billion years.

ottopottomouse · 07-26-2012, 07:37 AM

We're in the middle of a drought and there's never been so much rain.

nico-t · 07-26-2012, 07:45 AM

its more of a climate change instead of global warming. Here in NL we've had week after week rain, all day long. Last couple of years we didn't have a normal summer anymore, just like now.
When it rained all day, it was about 15 C, that's around 60 F.
The rain stopped a couple of days ago and now it's almost 30 C (85 F). We are not used to that!
That's almost a double in temperature. It seems to skip the normal summer temperature of ~22 C we usually have, it just jumps from one extreme to another.

Yeah, Im an hour north of TO. I have 5 apple trees, only one of them was untouched by the frost. Strawberry season, was non-existent this year. For our horses, hay prices have doubled. Its gonna be a rough year for sure. Our well (shallow dug) normally doesn't have a problem, and 2 days ago, for the first time, I heard slurping. Thank goodness we finally got 2 days of rain. But its been almost a month since we've had anything besides the nominal 10 minute sprinkle.

if you were a science freak you'd already know that the sun has been pretty constant for the past 3 billion years or so and so has this planet more or less..

if your looking for something to be scared of try lightning, at least there is a chance something significant can happen in your lifetime with that.

If you mean go supernova, then it's never going to happen because our sun lacks the mass. Instead, it will nova - meaning that it will expand several times it's current size before collapsing back in upon itself. As it expands it will exert less gravitational pull, so it is possible that the Earth will drift out in a larger orbit and not be engulfed, though that is a possibility. However, that is all moot as it isn't going to happen for another 5 billion years (so, we're about halfway there when you consider that the Earth was formed about 4.5 billion years ago), and as the sun's thermal output is rising at about 10% every one billion years in another billion years life won't be able to exist on this planet anyway.

In the meantime, however, we might be subject to particularly rough solar flare and CME activity. While there is some speculation that it was similar events in the past that has had numerous effects on the moon (radioactive surface, melting rocks, creating a 'glaze' on the surface, etc), the moon does not have the benefit of a magnetic field as does the Earth, and it is that field that will protect us from even the worst flare from being a life-threatening event. Instead, what we will have to contend with is a possible catastrophic failure of modern communications and our power grid, from which it could possibly take a decade to fully recover.

I'm a science freak, too.

Why isn't the US building massive desalination plants (used to make salt water / sea water so we can use it as drinking water) up north on the Atlantic and Pacific, and build huge canals to carry this water down to the south? Don't tell me it cannot be done - There are entire countries who live on desalination plants, and we have the California Aqueduct which carries water down from Sacramento down to Southern California. The expense would massive but I bet you it would create tens of thousands of jobs... __________________ “The choice is no longer between right or left.

This whole year has been rough on all types of crops. It got too hot in early spring, causing blooms to come out early only to be killed off by weeks of freezing weather. Apple orchards and others got boned big time. __________________ 43-922-863 Shut up and play your guitar.

nico-t emperor of my world Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: nethalands Posts: 29,903	its more of a climate change instead of global warming. Here in NL we've had week after week rain, all day long. Last couple of years we didn't have a normal summer anymore, just like now. When it rained all day, it was about 15 C, that's around 60 F. The rain stopped a couple of days ago and now it's almost 30 C (85 F). We are not used to that! That's almost a double in temperature. It seems to skip the normal summer temperature of ~22 C we usually have, it just jumps from one extreme to another.
