[/quote] That same poster said that if the ice melts then that would result in the earth becoming unbalanced, which would speed up the pole shift process which makes sense, oh yeah, unfortunately we are in for one hell of a ride. Hang on! :hiding: [/quote] From what I've read, the entire solar system is heating up, but that said, the warming is affecting us in ways such as Anne posted What I wonder is what happens next. The seasons and weather patterns are changing and even as we have these terrible droughts, there are record cold temperatures being recorded as well Unbalance may lead to a tipping point which triggers colder temps in coming years, not heat as some think. Of course this is all speculation, and if anyone does know the truth they are probably locked in a windowless room somewhere, lol Personally, I suspect that after this blast furnace of a summer we will have unusually cold months ahead. As you said, buckle up for a wild ride. Warmists and skeptics can probably agree extreme changes lie ahead. I do know I don't want to own any low lyiing property right now. Whether storms or flooding, I think it's probably safer at higher elevations inlandddd 5 stars for you Anne. [/quote]

Extent of surface melt over Greenland’s ice sheet on July 8 (left) and July 12 (right). Measurements from three satellites showed that on July 8, about 40 percent of the ice sheet had undergone thawing at or near the surface. In just a few days, the melting had dramatically accelerated and an
estimated 97 percent of the ice sheet surface had thawed by July 12.
In the image, the areas classified as “probable melt” (light pink) correspond to those sites where at least one satellite detected surface melting. The areas classified as “melt” (dark pink) correspond to sites where two or three satellites detected surface melting. The satellites are measuring different physical properties at different scales and are passing over Greenland at different times. As a whole, they provide a picture of an extreme melt event about which scientists are very confident. Credit: Nicolo E. DiGirolamo, SSAI/NASA GSFC, and Jesse Allen, NASA Earth Observatory
