Glaciers growing on Greenland
Click for full image.
Despite what the fake mainstream media and leftist Democratic Party politicians insist on telling us daily, the Greenland icecap remains largely stable, and shows no sign of disappearing anytime in the near future.
The image on the right, reduced to post here, is a series of images produced by radar instruments flown by a NASA airplane over Jakobshavn Glacier during the past three years and released this week by its project scientists. As noted in the release,
These images show the mass Greenland’s Jakobshavn Glacier has gained from 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19. Areas with the most growth are shown in dark blue. Red areas represent thinning. The images were produced using GLISTIN-A radar data as part of NASA’s Ocean’s Melting Greenland (OMG) mission.
While this research is absolutely worthwhile, the mission has clearly been shaped by the global warming activism in NASA and the climate science community. Thus, the scientists for this mission are forced to say this on their website:
Humans are changing the climate by burning fossil fuels for energy. These add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, which trap extra heat from the sun and warm the air and oceans.
I would bet however that the scientists for this project remain very skeptical about this NASA political statement. That they highlighted here a glacier that is growing, in contradiction to the routine media and activist claims that Greenland’s ice sheet is disappearing, indicates this.
Tony Heller at his climate blog today posted a very good summary of the very stable state of Greenland’s icecap, while also pointing out the dishonest and incompetent reporting about it from mainstream media sources like the Washington Post and Fox News. Check it out. As he concludes:
There has been no trend Arctic sea ice since the start of MASIE records thirteen years ago.
Greenland glaciers are growing. The last two years had near record surface mass gain. The current journalistic standard of cherry picking a day here and there, and then misrepresenting the meaning of it, is journalism at its worst.
The data shows a decline in that icecap in the early part of this century, followed by a significant recovery in the past three years. As he says, there has been no trend.
Be aware of this when ignorant politicians like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) try to tell you we are all going to die of global warming in mere years. These fear-mongers know nothing, and should be laughed from the stage.
Readers!
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

But wait! Just because Greenland is not going to melt and drown us all, the Himalayas will, and only climate change could possibly be the culprit:

And the Alps! The Alps will be gone all too soon, too, due to climate change:

(Oops. I meant only the glaciers in the Alps. The rest of the mountains will still be available for skiing and bobsledding.)
But the point is that we should not be worried that the glaciers on Greenland are growing, because we are all doomed from all the other climate change, global warming, and whatever that is melting all the other glaciers.

Whew. Climate change advocates: rest easy tonight; you will all be dead right on schedule, according to Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
As the atmosphere warms, it retains more moisture, leading to heavier snowfall, thus causing glaciers to grow. Anthropomorphic climate change is to blame.
Or so I’m told.
I intend to go up to the Athabasca glacier soon to observe first hand any changes in it’s toe.
The Solar Powered Climate Change model would predict glacier advance, but the time frame has never been documented. Should the sun continue it’s low output, we could have that data.

Apparently grew at the rate of 3 feet per day as per NASA satellite evidence.
Does anyone realize the sun until 30 years ago was yellow in color and now it is white. The biggest and most obvious change in something that most days is literally right in your face yet it goes unnoticed, wow just wow. Humanity’s power of observation is not very impressive.
