University of Washington’s Applied Physics Laboratory on Greenland’s glacial melt
– “80-year-old aerial images show retreat of Greenland glaciers”
“Long-abandoned 80-year-old aerial photographs found in a Danish basement document the unexpectedly rapid response of Greenland glaciers to changes in average temperatures, researchers have found. The studies show that landlocked glaciers were melting faster in the 1930s than they are now, but that those extending into the ocean are melting faster now, a team headed by climatologist Jason E. Box of Ohio State University and graduate student Anders A. Bjork of the University of Copenhagen in Denmark reported in the journal Nature Geoscience. “We’ve confirmed that glaciers are very sensitive indicators of climate,” Box said.”
“In an editorial accompanying the report, climatologist Benjamin E. Smith of the University of Washington’s Applied Physics Laboratory noted that unusually warm temperatures during the last decade have cause glaciers to retreat very rapidly, doubling the flow of glacial water into the ocean. If the output continues, he noted, that could have a significant effect on the ocean’s level. He also noted that the slower melting rate of land-terminating glaciers during that period may result because the earlier warming shifted them to higher altitudes, which are less sensitive to climate change,” quoting Thomas H. Maugh II in the Los Angeles Times.

– “It is no coincidence being in London in the very place that will soon be covered with ice — not a lot of ice but enough to say this is a knock on your door — that after I left [September, 2010] , scientists make this breakthrough explanation that the current belt that brings that warm water up to the Far North of Europe and to the Atlantic seaboard is less now than half of its ability.
More cold water from the melting of Greenland is sloughing off in the North Sea, and the winds from the North that are cooling down everything could stop this current conveyor belt. And do you know what happens when it stops? You have winter in the most severe ways. That is already under way.
To all of Europe — including right down to the ankle of Italy — an ice is coming, a warning is coming. That nasty little environment will start to show itself only slightly this winter, so look for strange ice storms in Europe and the American north, and even look for them around the equator.
So what we have is an introduction to the violence of nature, a calling card. 2011 will be all about calling cards all over the world.”

– “Now your world is in trouble. Your icecaps are melting. The North Pole’s icecaps are melting and when all that cold water enters Greenland in the upper Atlantic, the flow of warm water will cease in Atlatia and in a short time you are going to have catastrophic conditions in the world.”

– “The melting of the polar caps, the hole in the stratum, and the warming up in the next four years will be much quicker than your scientists will tell you. The melting of the great caps of snow is already occurring, which will raise the water level to two hundred feet.”
