I responded to your post 49 with post 66 saying all of Greenland would never melt without some catastrophe. You then said "Ludicrous to you, but not to the 98%."
Post #49 said nothing about ALL the Greenland Ice melting. Please don't misquote me.
You left this in the quote: "The only way we will ever see all that ice melt is with extreme warming that will already be an extinction event, Greenland spouting multiple volcanoes, or some other natural disaster"
Are we suppose to be mind readers?
You're delusional. That is not my statement in #49 or any other post. Look at Post #66 - THAT'S YOUR QUOTE... Please stop misquoting me!!!
It's pretty obvious. The study suggests that microbes are acting as feedback in ice melting, thus making the consequences of AGW worse.
Deniers here see it as the cause.
Jack has no opinion, but just vomits up WUWT posts and pretends he's 'spreading knowledge'.
Here is something the warmers will enjoy:
Huge landslide triggered rare Greenland mega-tsunami
If it's paywalled, I'll quote a few parts. Someone needs to tell me though.
Quite possibly due to the retreat of a glacier resulting in a local fast landslide.
Things like this are natural. They happen from time to time. It doesn't mean warming was the cause.
Speaking of glaciers . . . .

Uneducated drivel by Watts again...
Rice University will be very disappointed by your low opinion of their work. From the link:

Torres, who joined the Rice faculty in July, is lead author of a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. He wanted to know how and when chemicals released by weathering of the land reached the atmosphere and ocean, and what effect they have had.
The study shows that glaciation, through enhanced erosion, probably increased the rate of carbon dioxide released to the environment.
The researchers determined enhanced oxidation of pyrite, an iron sulfide also known as fool’s gold, most likely generated acidity that fed carbon dioxide into the oceans and altered the carbon cycle. The oscillation of glaciers over 10,000 years could have changed atmospheric carbon dioxide by 25 parts per million or more. While this is a significant percentage of the 400 parts per million measured in recent months, present anthropogenic carbon dioxide release is occurring at a much faster rate than it is naturally released by glaciation.
Over long timescales, they found, glaciers’ contribution to the release of carbon dioxide could have acted as a negative feedback loop that may have inhibited runaway glaciation. . . .
When someone with a semblance of education, links to Rice's work, fine, I'll read it. Watts does not fit that category. If you quote Rice University's work directly, I will be glad to read it. I don't need Watt's uneducated, lying opinion drivel.

[h=1]Some Of The World’s Largest Non-Polar Glaciers Are Expanding, Despite Global Warming[/h]Energy Some Of The World’s Largest Non-Polar Glaciers Are Expanding, Despite Global Warming From The Daily Caller Michael Bastasch 12:36 PM 08/11/2017 Some of the largest non-polar glaciers in the world are either stable or growing due to a “vortex” of cold air over a 1,200-mile section of the greater Himalayan mountain range in central…
I'll bet they are in areas not subject to the soot from Asia. The Himalayas for example almost always have a wind from the west, rather from the east.
“While most glaciers are retreating as a result of global warming, the glaciers of the Karakoram range in South Asia are stable or even growing,” Hayley Fowler, the study’s co-author and professor at Newcastle University, said in a statement.
Here is the first paragraph after the abstract, from the Nature Climate Change article.

I was just in Glacier Bay. The answer to this question is an emphatic NO. People who have studied the glaciers, and long-time residents all agree that the glaciers are receding substantially. More GARBAGE from the high-schooler, Watts.
Back in he 1880's Muir traveled to Glacier Bay and found that the ice had retreated some 40 miles since the last measurement 80 years earlier. This was long before the first automobile.
Ice travels toward the sea. Retreats from the sea. Been doing that for millions of years.

You wouldn't be ignoring the fact that Alaska temperatures are averaging 3 deg F warmer than 60 years ago? Alaska is warming faster than the rest of the US.
Over the past 60 years, the average temperature across Alaska has increased by approximately 3°F.[3] This increase is more than twice the warming seen in the rest of the United States. Warming in the winter has increased by an average of 6°F [3] and has led to changes in ecosystems, such as earlier breakup of river ice in the spring. As the climate continues to warm, average annual temperatures in Alaska are projected to increase an additional 2 to 4°F by the middle of this century.[3] Precipitation in Alaska is projected to increase during all seasons by the end of this century. Despite increased precipitation, the state is likely to become drier due to greater evaporation caused by warming temperatures and longer growing seasons.

Will any of this information hit the Deniers over the side of the head, and say WAKE UP? Or will they just continue to blissfully watch their FOX News misinformation from the fossil fuel industry?
