Climate change may not be as catastrophic for Greenland's icecaps as scientists first thought after researchers found hotter summers may actually slow down the flow of glaciers.
Increased melting in the warmer summer months is causing the internal drainage system of the ice sheet to 'adapt' and accommodate more melt-water, without speeding up the flow of ice toward the oceans.
This is because in hot conditions there is initially so much melt-water that it runs off into channels below the ice, thereby decreasing the lubricating layer which sits on top of the ice sheets and causes melting over a much larger surface area.
What you, and the other Faux News watching, Glen Beck listening morons don't know about atmospheric science, is ENCYCLOPEDIC.
Do you really think that the oceans are rising because there are a whole bunch of fat people swimming?
Don't give me that 'climate-gate' crap either, because that bunch of horse crap was debunked a long time ago.
Currently, the NSA, and the US armed forces, are trying to deal with it's apparent inevitability. The operation is called 'ice less Atlantic'. The Northwest Passage, is about to become passable again, and it will seriously effect the way they operate. Look it up, I'm not doing your research for you. It's no wonder that you have so many posts, because you'll type out, or copy, and paste almost anything, in hopes that people will think that you are some kind of source of wisdom, when in fact, you're just another dupe.

Didn't they prepare for inevitability of the coming ice age in the 70's? That never materialized. It was just last year the government was pre-scaring us for the swine flu pandemic. That never materialized.
When are we going to learn that these bull$hit impending natural disasters that never seem to materialize are just meant to justify the government agency which issue to scares and con the taxpayer into continue funding them.
Of course like all previous climate changes in the earth's history, this is man made. So a perfect way to institute a tax is brought about.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
do we really think we can 'reverse' it? how old is the planet? and how much info from the past do we have? oh, yeah the ice age caused by all the farting/burping/humping/beer drinking dinosaurs.....yeah,,,,it was their fault....to bad they didn't have the techology we have today to shut up their 'holes'......

Last week on his show Bill O’Reilly asked, “Why has southern New York turned into the tundra?” and then said he had a call into me. I appreciate the question.
As it turns out, the scientific community has been addressing this particular question for some time now and they say that increased heavy snowfalls are completely consistent with what they have been predicting as a consequence of man-made global warming:
“In fact, scientists have been warning for at least two decades that global warming could make snowstorms more severe. Snow has two simple ingredients: cold and moisture. Warmer air collects moisture like a sponge until it hits a patch of cold air. When temperatures dip below freezing, a lot of moisture creates a lot of snow.”
“A rise in global temperature can create all sorts of havoc, ranging from hotter dry spells to colder winters, along with increasingly violent storms, flooding, forest fires and loss of endangered species.”

because he's to old to remember his childhood.....oh brother! I hope this question was taken out of context.....when you are young ALOT of snow doesn't seem like alot to deal with....but he can pay someone else to deal with it for him......
