Rediscovered photos of Greenland reveal that the ice retreat in the 1930s was as drastic as today.
The uncertainty of science: Rediscovered photos of Greenland reveal that the ice retreat in the 1930s was as drastic as today.
From the press release: From the moment he is handed a possibility of making the first alien contact, Saunders Maxwell decides he will do it, even if doing so takes him through hell and back.
Unfortunately, that is exactly where that journey takes him.
The vision that Zimmerman paints of vibrant human colonies on the Moon, Mars, the asteroids, and beyond, indomitably fighting the harsh lifeless environment of space to build new societies, captures perfectly the emerging space race we see today.
He also captures in Pioneer the heart of the human spirit, willing to push forward no matter the odds, no matter the cost. It is that spirit that will make the exploration of the heavens possible, forever, into the never-ending future.

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.
