[quote:Adaluncatif:MV8xOTM0MTMzXzMyNDAzMDQ2XzJBRDFGRjQx] It is called Greenland because they wanted people to go there to settle it and didn't want them to know what a frozen wasteland it was. Global warming is real and man-made (not caused by the sun). The Earth will eventually reach an equilibrium when the temperature increase ceases. We can expect more extreme weather, places getting wetter, places getting drier, even places getting colder with more snow than normal, but in the long run the planet will have a higher average temperature and the sea will rise.

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
