The height of summer has been reached on the Greenland ice sheet. Temperatures are a balmy -13C, and are about to start their descent towards winter.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Still no signs of a water hazard caused by all that melting ice yet. 🙂
The heat is brutal though.
Kulusuk, Greenland: 12.7 °C, Mostly Cloudy (Updated: 4:50 PM GMT on July 20, 2012)
Who can survive in such a hot weather?
The Greenland harvest is on us –
The special GHG Tomatoes are ready. Zucchini nearly ripe.
Hi Marian,
As Steven is certainly aware, Summit actually set a July record of 2.2Centigrade in the last week. It is at over 10,000 feet.
Here is a video of one of the water hazards…

Yes it was incredible. It got just barely over freezing for six hours. The damage was massive
I thought this article was about Greenland. I thought the Watson river basin was in the Canadian Yukon???
Hi David,
Careful with those thoughts!
Anybody interested in an update on the Greenland webcams that Steve likes to show in midwinter…
from *Greenland farming update”
http://www.wunderground.com/webcams/alfis/1/show.html
from “Greenland surfing season in full swing”
http://www.andreassen.gl/andreassen/webcam.htm
That is shocking. Most of the snow is gone in mid-July. A bumper farming season.
WOW! Looks like, well, an ordinary Greenland summer.
Like this picture taken 42 years ago.

Or this one from 1970.

Both are in the same part of East Greenland as Tasiilaq.
I have heard that Viking farms have recently been found under the ice, and was wondering how they farmed under the ice? They must have been very resourceful (and small) people.
and very resourceful plants…
Steve, here is another dead-certain prediction for temperature rise within the next 2 decades. It is buried in a scare story about 20 to 30 feet of sea level rise ‘soon’, since polar temperatures are rocketing up as we speak.
““Overall, however, global temperatures were less than 4°F higher than they are today. If we keep adding heat-trapping greenhouse gases to the atmosphere at the current rate, said Kopp, “we could overshoot that within the next few decades.”
Robert Kopp, Rutgers University, in sea level armageddon article by Michael Lemonick at Climate Central, 7/12/2012
Since we will be dumping heat-trapping holocaustic poison into the atmosphere at an accelerating rate, we can expect more than 2 C global rise well before 2030.
Who would have thought that photography, and more specifically photo-archiving, would evolve to play such a pivotal role in maintaining scientific honesty? That it would ever even be needed to keep ‘science’ honest? My god, what has science become?
