But, I know what would happen if I put a large vat of ice right next to my bed.<br /><br />In the case of the coastline of Greenland, we are talking about a huge area that is missing the usual ice flowing past at this time of year.<br /><br />This is bound to have consequences, and we can already see that western Greenland is having quite the meltback.<br /><br />Well, for that matter, the entire ice sheet is melting back at an astonishing rate this year.Tenneyhttp://climatechangepsychology.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579549341020421678.post-10184246314431638712009-07-28T10:47:16.315-05:002009-07-28T10:47:16.315-05:00Worth noting here that the Davis Strait and Baffin...Worth noting here that the Davis Strait and Baffin Bay - the waters off the west and south-west coasts of Greenland - have been free of ice for months. They cleared uncharacteristically early this year (Davis Strait was clear in early April; Baffin Bay by mid-May). So any consequences for the Greenland ice sheet should be particularly marked this season.Nick Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00057838251997644583noreply@blogger.com
