Greenland Continues To Defy Alarmist Warming And Ice Melt Narratives

Greenland Continues To Defy Alarmist Warming And Ice Melt Narratives

According to a new study, Greenland temperature stations indicate there was an abrupt 2.9°C warming trend from 1922-1932 (10 years) that was almost identical to the 3.1°C warming trend from 1993-2007 (14 years). Between the two warming periods (identified as WP1 and WP2 in the study) was an overall ~3°C cooling from 1933-1992. Thus, as […]

The Greenland Ice Sheet Mass Gains Again Exceed Mass Losses In 2024-'25

The Greenland Ice Sheet Mass Gains Again Exceed Mass Losses In 2024-’25

Another year, another well-above-average (1981-2010 mean) snow and ice accumulation on the Greenland ice sheet (indicated by the blue vs. gray trend lines, right chart).   The net mass gain (blue) again exceeded the net mass loss (red) during 2024-2025. Image Source: Polar Portal The Greenland Ice Sheet melt percentage and surface temperature have been […]

New Study: Antarctic Ice Sheet Surface Mass Balance Has Been Increasing Due To Recent Mass Gain

New Study: Antarctic Ice Sheet Surface Mass Balance Has Been Increasing Due To Recent Mass Gain

The Surface Mass Balance (SMB) for the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) has been remarkably stable since the 1970s. However, according to the authors of a new study (a preprint soon to be published), “in recent years, the SMB has increased on the AIS, in particular for 2022, which mostly originates from mass gain on the […]

Central Greenland Was Recently Ice-Free And Covered With Plants When CO2 Was Under 300 ppm

Central Greenland Was Recently Ice-Free And Covered With Plants When CO2 Was Under 300 ppm

Today, with CO2 levels supposedly in the “dangerously high” range, Central Greenland has 3 kilometers of ice piled atop it. Scientists have known since the GISP2 borehole was drilled in 1993 that Central Greenland deglaciated at least once in the late Pleistocene (Bierman et al., 2024). Indeed, the Summit of the modern Greenland ice sheet […]

New Study Finds 1970s-Present Antarctic Ice Loss Is 'Unexceptional' And Not Due To 'Climate Change'

New Study Finds 1970s-Present Antarctic Ice Loss Is ‘Unexceptional’ And Not Due To ‘Climate Change’

Ice shelf collapse was much more pronounced and exceptional millennia ago than it has been over the last 47 years. The advent of post-1970s “climate change” and polar amplification due to the rapidly rising trend in human greenhouse gas emissions was supposed to unleash catastrophic ice calving losses and increases in iceberg size throughout the […]
