This video is ancient....and guess what? Greenland is perfectly fine still today. It was all hype, no facts.

@TheSnoody Greenland is still melting:

"The ice is melting so fast in Greenland that the giant island is rising noticeably as the weight is lifted. In some spots, the land is rising 1 inch per year." (18.5.2010, Live Science)

"New research has been published examining the pattern of mass loss over the entire Greenland ice sheet. ...Mass loss has been spreading up along the northwest coast of Greenland, starting in late 2005." (Search "Greenland’s ice mass loss has spread to the northwest")

Wait..this beyatch is a freaking Brit! Why doesn't she quote ESA sources? No...instead she quotes an organization that has been polluted by the pseudo science of idiots like Gore.

good work here

interesting video and very informative

@TheSnoody Wow incredibly stupid comment.

@nomorelies01 How come you anti-science types are still obsessed with Al Gore? A little man-love thing going on there or what? He's not a scientist, he has never published a scientific paper nor has any scientist ever cited his book for data - but the anti-science types still cite him as a data source. Here's a question for you: In your own personal opinion, what specific evidence would have to be provided to convince you that AGW theory is correct?

Very short clip:

Notice the graph of total Greenland ice mass:

@nomorelies01 A fable NASA/NOAA support then.

[vengencefrom1979]

current CO2 levels are at 389 ppm and rising. it wont be long before antarctica begins to thaw as fast as greenland currently is, which btw is rising out of the sea at a rate of 1 inch per year. when antarctica thaws enough it too will rise out of the sea. it is connected to every tectonic plate around the world and will crack the earths crust. this isnt doomsday bull, this is science, and quite likely the worse threat facing mankind.

[nomorelies01]

Like all the pro-agenda types, this was yet another fable blown out of utter proportion. Believers worship Gore who has consistently lied and played the slight of hand trick with selective data, he is now a Billionaire (genius) whilst we all get crucified by the governments through taxation (idiots). Unbelievable fact that people are so gullible and do not challenge these BS stories (the BBC being the worst through government control).

this is SO OLD
