Greenland’s enormous ice sheet is melting at such an accelerated rate that it may have reached a “tipping point,” and could become a major factor in sea-level rise around the world within two decades, scientists said in a study published on Monday.
The Arctic is warming at twice the average rate of the rest of the planet, and the new research adds to the evidence that the ice loss in Greenland, which lies mainly above the Arctic Circle, is speeding up as the warming increases. The authors found that ice loss in 2012 was nearly four times the rate in 2003, and after a lull in 2013-14, it has resumed.

We all knew it was coming. Not to worry conservatives, the Koch Brothers are coming up with a counter to all this shortly.

Don't understand. What is wrong with taking steps to reduce coal burning and other contributers to pollution? As McCain said, even if the science is wrong, most of the prescriptions have other beneficial effects. We are better off less dependent on oil, with higher gas mileage, less acid rain.

The moral case for smog? Look, whale oil was wonderful in its day, gave us the great American novel. LA air was foul. We regulated fossil fuels, reduced their use. LA air got cleaner. London smog killed lots of people. Presumably, regulations over time changed that. Oil will be around for a while and that’s great. Use it myself in my car. But I have solar panels in my house. And I don’t need two Navy fleets to protect my access to the sun, tho the tax break when we installed was nice. All of us, rich and poor nations, will benefit from oil for a while, maybe a good while. Then we’ll move on.
[FONT="]. . . Epstein confronts the most common myths about fossil fuels: they are dirty, unsustainable, and harm the developing world. Drawing on original insights and cutting-edge research, Epstein offers facts to the contrary. Fossil fuels take a naturally dirty environment and make it clean; they take a naturally dangerous climate and make it safer; the sun and wind are intermittent, unreliable fuels that always need backup from a reliable source of energy — usually fossil fuels; and, fossil fuels are the key to improving the quality of life for billions of people in the developing world. Calls to “get off fossil fuels” are calls to degrade the lives of innocent people who merely want the same opportunities we enjoy in the West. . . . [/FONT]

Good grief! Get this guy to the next climate summit. I didn’t know that when I inhaled in LA in the 1960s that the ache in my lungs was actually pleasant, that when I looked at the hills east and west of San Jose in 1970 and couldn’t see either due to pollution, it was actually pollen from fruit trees. Get this guy before Congress. Inhoff, where are you when we need you? Asthmatics of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your inhalers!

So being a good patriot, I should change from a four cylinder car to an eight cylinder car? Get a 58 Lincoln Continental? Weren’t their 12 banger cars back in the day? Can I find one of them? Should I start a forest fire like we had in Calif recently? Created beautiful sunsets, after all.
And I was wasting my time with a VW in the 70s. Sad.

I just wish we had a place to discuss this without having to wade through dozens Jacks cut and paste denier blog posts, with no (or vapid) commentary from him.
Every friggin thread.
In this thread so far my contributions are two peer-reviewed papers and a book from the NY Times bestseller list. Your problem is you are data-averse.
