The uncertainty of science: Rediscovered photos of Greenland reveal that the ice retreat in the 1930s was as drastic as today.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Really nothing new here. The same had been reported 5 years ago (Byrd Polar Research Center, Jason Box)…these pictures only further show that the warming that we experienced since the industrial revolution began continues today. The cooling period in-between is what scientists find interesting. Possibly due to sulfur pollution, which then was curtailed.
But the fact remains that more glaciers are retreating today in Greenland than in the 30’s, the average rate of melt in the 30’s was 20 meters per year and today it is 50 meters per year, and in the 30’s most of the melt was in land glaciers while today it is in glaciers ending at the sea, thus contributing to sea level rise.
