I was in a hurry to post it, though, so did not spend time selecting excerpts.<br /><br />Did you see the animation of GrIS's mass balance loss for last year? <br /><br />We need that info out in public. If I had the numbers, I would post them. The melting last August and September was horrific. And it looks like it just carried on from inertia for the rest of the year, which is exactly what I suspected from viewing the usual satellite composites.<br /><br />Glaciologists seem to think that Greenland's ice is too thick to collapse from the moulins, but why wouldn't it have partial collapses?<br /><br />Frankly, I thought I noticed that a vast depression had formed in one area (I forget where it was), but my data sources just don't have the resolution. Wish I had access to the higher resolution images available to the NASA researchers, but they do not make them available to the general public.Tenney Naumerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843130378338023902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579549341020421678.post-51992122132985403222010-03-23T21:20:06.411-05:002010-03-23T21:20:06.411-05:00Romm outdid himself. That is one of the most clear...Romm outdid himself. That is one of the most clearly written pieces on climate I have ever seen. <br /><br />You could cut the whole argument thing. Adds nothing at all, though the data sources are good. The other comments were quite useful, however.<br /><br />Cheersccpohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02608765517662755393noreply@blogger.com
