In northern Greenland, a part of the Arctic that had seemed immune from global warming, new satellite images show a growing giant crack and a 28-square-kilometre chunk of ice hemorrhaging off a major glacier, scientists said Thursday.

    Hasnt there been a bunch of articles stating that the ice isnt melting as fast as predicted, and that there is more ice this year than th elast two....is the just another article to keep the global warming myth going?

    Had you actually read the article...

    It is too early to say it is clearly global warming, Zwally said. Scientists don't like to attribute single events to global warming, but often say such events fit a pattern.

    University of Colorado Prof. Konrad Steffen, who returned from Greenland Wednesday and has studied the Petermann Glacier in the past, said that what Box saw is not too different from what he saw in the 1990s: "The crack is not alarming... I would say it is normal."

    From what I've read, Southern Greenland supported forests,
    plants, and quite a bit of farming from 800-1300 AD.
    Al Gore hadn't yet found any inconvenient truths, and
    when it got cold again, there was no one to post it up
    on the Internet.

    "Scientists don't like to attribute single events to global warming," however the alarmist media likes to print the BS while ignoring cold weather events. No wonder people's views on the subject are skewed.

    yeah things are returning to normal Mr Alarmist.


    "Known for its massive ice sheets, Greenland is feeling the effects of global warming as rising temperatures have expanded the island's growing season and crops are flourishing. For the first time in hundreds of years, it has become possible to raise cattle and start dairy farms."

    Yes, people should turn off their TVs. The media do nothing except bombard people with the idea that they are not safe. I've been to some countries thta are a lot dodgier to wander around in than Canada, and yet the people there are not as scared as they are here.
