[/quote] I think its more complicated than 27 ft of sea level rising. Its Post glacial rebound effect. Frozen water sits on top of the ground, and liquid water is much heavier. With 'gravity' or more precisely, 'magnetism'... it stays the same size (earth) but the weight is now heavier all around. the Water will start to push even harder on the core, and the core wont like that. and earthquakes, floods, strange weather, etc.. huh thats going on now.. will become more prevalent. The air is much cooler right now, but the sun is kickin' it up into super high gear. We are gaining protons with every CME even slightly in our path. And then of course, there are the aliens ; ) Keep on keepin' on, and remember.. Merrily merrily merrily merrily, life is but the most wicked awesome dreeeeeeeaam! [/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
