If all of Greenland's ice disappears, water released would push sea levels up an average of six meters over decades

This early Friday, Aug. 16, 2019 file photo shows an aerial view of large Icebergs floating as the sun rises near Kulusuk, Greenland.Greenland’s ice sheet may have shrunk past the point of return, with the ice likely to melt away no matter how quickly the world reduces climate-warming emissions, new research suggests.

The Arctic has been warming at least twice as fast as the rest of the world for the last 30 years, an observation referred to as Arctic amplification. The polar sea ice hit its lowest extent for July in 40 years. Last year, President Donald Trump offered to buy Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory. But Denmark, a U.S. ally, rebuffed the offer. Then last month, the U.S. reopened a consulate in the territory’s capital of Nuuk, and Denmark reportedly said last week it was appointing an intermediary between Nuuk and Copenhagen some 3,500 kilometres away.

From about 11 million years ago to 10 million years ago, the Greenland Ice Sheet was greatly reduced in size. The Greenland Ice Sheet formed in the middle Miocene by coalescence of ice caps and glaciers. There was an intensification of glaciation during the Late Pliocene.

Too funny. The Globe chugs the GreenTard Eco Calamity Doom & Gloom Kool Aid. Meanwhile, in the real world, Greenland is absolutely trashing all previous records for ice mass increasing. And you wonder why the media is dying in Canada. GreenTardism meets Fake News!

That canary is dead already. Remember what Stephen Hawking 'gave' us; 100 years tops before human extinction done/in progress. He knew we can't change our ways to live another 1000 ys he gave us originally. Earth will recover to be green and blue again for 4-5 B ys. No us on it

Biggest hoax about ice pack shrinking. The only thing shrinking is your readership. Is your communist news feed from Global Times, giving talking points?

Stupid headline!

Well that's it then. Goodbye.

Why is Greenland called Greenland if it’s covered in snow and ice or at least was? Always seemed odd to me.

Well, now that it's gone can we shut up about it? At least until January.

Too late for a carbon tax then. Give us back our money you crooks.

More fodder. Nothing to see here

And yet yesterday there was this?

Oh for the good old days when Ottawa and Toronto were covered by a mile thick sheet of ice 😂

Winter is coming

Ice? Is that still a thing? All the best people told me it would be gone by 2010.

Greenland's ice sheet has melted to a point of no return, according to new studyGreenland's ice sheet has melted to a point of no return, and efforts to slow global warming will not stop it from disintegrating. That's according to a new study by researchers at Ohio State University. Everyone you knew is gone and changed. If you still think this is about a virus I can’t help you. This is not about green. Ice melts.

Malaysian economy shrinks 17 per cent in worst contraction on recordMalaysia has reported its economy contracted 17 per cent in the last quarter in its worst downturn since the global financial crisis. Bad News for Canada as a resource based country that depends heavily on exports. We are screwed. Canada makes nothing the world needs right now. Canada needs major economic reform to maintain our quality of living. Meanwhile our leading political party is ripping us off. And nobody is going after communist China for compensation or is still doing business with them? Let’s also not forget the communist China controlled pathetic media has completely abandoned any attempts at holding them accountable.
