NASA/GRACE lies about Greenland's ice mass loss02-04-2020 22:48
Tim the plumber ★★★★☆ (1356)	NASA says by way of it's GRACE survey of Greenland that Greenland is loosing ice mass. It used to say that it lost 400Gt/yr https://www.pnas.org/content/116/19/9239 Then it accelerated to 360Gt for a bit. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-48387030 Recently an unprecedented acceleration has brought the number to 245Gt/yr. Can't find that link but.. The latest acceleration towards doom has a number of 145Gt/yr. Then there is the 600Gt lost in 2 months!!! https://www.google.com/search?safe=strict&sxsrf=ALeKk01WKlJGWEP9IV9b5BlgrTyylMPnvA%3A1585856253678&ei=_T6GXuWHKcWChbIP-pCUsAw&q=600Gt+ice+melt+arctic+greenland&oq=600Gt+ice+melt+arctic+greenland&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzoECAAQR1DWHFjTMWDlNWgBcAJ4AIABlwGIAe0DkgEDNi4xmAEAoAEBqgEHZ3dzLXdpeg&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwil-qj1vsroAhVFQUEAHXoIBcYQ4dUDCAo&uact=5 Greenland's melting ice raised global sea level by 2.2mm in two months. Last year's summer was so warm that it helped trigger the loss of 600bn tons of ice from Greenland – enough to raise global sea levels by 2.2mm in just two months, new research has found.19 Mar 2020 Greenland's melting ice raised global sea level by 2.2mm in ... 600Gt is 1.7mm not 2.2. Thing is that 100 to 1200 Gt of precipitation, snow, falls on Greenland each year. It only leaves in the 2 month summer. The outflow is, as high estimate, 200Gt/yr. This is from the biggest river there being the Watson which has a total flow rate of about 8Gt/yr. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15230430.2018.1433799 Fig4. The Watson represents about 5% of the total outflow. Add about 30% for solid ice. Clearly no matter what NASA says Greenland is gaining ice mass not loosing it. Edited on 02-04-2020 22:51

It is the simple bleeding obvious that Greenland is gaining ice mass. Edited on 03-04-2020 12:02

IBdaMann★★★★★ (14420)	Into the Night wrote: Nope. Glacier Girl was buried by accumulating snow (in other words, ice mass). Correct. If you get a chance, look up "Camp Century" or "Project Ice Worm." During the Cold War, the US tried to pull a Cuba, i.e. plant nuclear missiles right on top of the USSR in Greenland (150 miles east of Thule AB). The idea was to carve the silos out of the ice and create a secret hidden nuke launch site under cover of the ice, right on the Soviet doorstep. Denmark owns that land and the Danes were all for the US plan, as long as the US pretended to be "doing it all "in secret" ... the Danes needed plausible deniability with the Soviets. Anyway, what nobody realized was the sheer magnitude of ice mass gain that was going on with Greenland. Yes, they carved out the silos but they had to repeatedly unbury them and re-carve the silos as the walls warped and buckled. They quickly had to scrap the plan. Oh, the "rest of the story." Later, at the appropriate time, Denmark acted "surprised" to learn that such activity had been going on (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). The "official" story is that Denmark was never aware. Anyway, the ice mass accumulation in Greenland is severe. There is a reason Greenland is buried under kilometers of ice, with meters/year accumulation on top. Only the gullible believe that Greenland ice is somehow disappearing. . I don't think i can [define it].

Well, flow in its' super cooled liquid kind of way. As it does but not to the extent that the rate of snowfall requires. It is the rate of input into Greenland's ice mass that makes it impossible for the rate of out flow to keep up.

In that glaciers flow slowly down hill.
