SHOW THIS TO EVERYONE: NYT's INCREDIBLE ARTICLE ON THE DISINTEGRATION OF GREENLAND'S ICE SHEET

Dear Readers,

I don't know if the link will open for you if you are not a subscriber, but I suspect it will.

As shocking and dramatic as this report on Greenland's rapidly melting and disintegrating ice sheet is, everyone should see it and show it to all their friends and contacts.

I have never seen anything that shows what is going on in Greenland like this report.

At the very end, there is another video.  Near the end, you can see in the lower right hand corner where the surface has even collapsed due to a sub surface channel.  I had already heard of some much larger collapses due to the draining of subsurface lakes within the ice.
