Greenland's ice sheet melts by record amount due to climate change, study shows

Greenland's ice sheet experienced record melting last year that was driven by hotter temperatures and more frequent atmospheric circulation patterns triggered by climate change, scientists have confirmed.

If Greenland's ice sheet were to melt away completely, global sea levels could rise by as much as 23 feet. The stark findings show that researchers could also be underestimating future melting by about half, as most models that project future ice loss do not account for impacts from changing atmospheric circulation patterns, according to the study led by Marco Tedesco, a researcher at Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.

Researchers warn that climate change will make the destructive high-pressure atmospheric conditions more common in Greenland, the biggest contributor to global sea level rise.

Climate change models are probably less predictive than the Corona virus models, and those models are terrible. Hysteria rules though

The anti-science faction of ignorant fools will ignore warnings on this too until inevitably the damage is too much to reverse and by the time the worst impacts are felt we’ll be absolutely helpless to do anything but suffer. Sounds familiar to our current situation doesn’t it?

Same story year after year.

So? Unfurtunatly congress and lobbyist don't want to read it, they refuse to read. They are focused only on protecting their dumb leader. Because it's only way to mantein their jobs.

The North/South Pole is shifting. We're due for a pole shift as we're a magnetic ball of swirling magma under our surface. Been happening for eons. Antarctica used to be forest. Fearmongering!

Expect climate change but also expect plants to grow faster with higher c02 levels in the atmosphere. 400ppm Co2 is typical but plants relish in up to 1200ppm!

Nothing to see here, folks, move on along. Just ignore climate change, it's a Democratic hoax. 'Greenland’s ice sheet melts by record amount due to climate change, study shows'

Artic April is happening around the World, record cold days by the hundreds are taking place, each day! We need more carbon in the atmosphere or if this goes on will be an ice age that will be horrific.

GOD: I created epidemiologists and climate scientists to warn you. Listen to them.

Wait, I am confused on which end of the word apocalypse is going to kill us first? The Chinavirus or the weather?
