Greenland Summit Camp Continues To Get Buried In Snow

NASA forgot to mention the fact that their fake meltdown was 99.999% bullshit.

    Off-Topic news tip …

    Curiosity closes in on Mars for high-stakes descent

    “The $2.5 billion Mars Science Laboratory rover is closing in on the Red Planet for a white-knuckle descent to the surface using an untried “sky crane” technique to ensure a pinpoint landing on the floor of Gale Crater.

    That is the story at Cnet (there are many more all over the place). Continuing …

    “After slowing to around 1,000 mph, the craft will deploy a huge supersonic parachute, the heat shield will be jettisoned, and a sophisticated radar altimeter will begin sounding the surface. After the craft slows to less than 200 mph, the parachute will be jettisoned and Curiosity, bolted to the belly of a rocket-powered descent stage, will fall free for the final drop to the surface.

    Unlike past landers, Curiosity’s jet pack doesn’t have legs. Instead, it will act like a flying crane, lowering the rover directly to the surface on the end of a 25-foot-long bridle as the “sky crane” slowly descends. When the flight computer senses “weight on wheels,” the bridle will be cut and Curiosity will be ready for initial tests and checkout.

    Touchdown is expected at 10:17 p.m. PDT Sunday, but it will take radio signals confirming the event 13.8 minutes to cross the 154-million-mile gulf between Earth and Mars. That translates to 10:31 p.m. “Earth-received time.””

    This is a really risky mission!

    Steve, do you actually do all of this blog yourself? I actually think you have a roomful of about 5 guys in China working on this.

    P.S. your biking is inspirational. after being off the bike due to a “fat break”, i just lost 25lbs. I’m heading out to do 25 miles now.

    By this misplaced logic, a location’s having a snowstorm during the winter proves that any thaw that took place prior to the storm was “fake.” The satellite data showed a period where a substantial portion of Greenland experienced at least a period of melting. That cooler weather returned to parts of Greenland accompanied by snow does not mean that such a period of melting did not occur.

    • WOT says:

      I love how the entire surface of Greenland’s melting status can be determined by a fuzzy webcam picture at a camp which is 10,551 ft above sea level and likely was part of the 3% that saw little melting during the period in question.

      • I can’t help it if you are dense or blind.

      • WOT says:

        “I can’t help it if you are dense or blind.”

        So you are shown to be wrong and all you can do is say ‘lalalala I’m not listening’

        Care to address any of my actual posts? You still won’t correct your ‘Andrew’ blog post, so it’s like you not only welcome bad conclusions and bad thinking, you wear it as a badge of honor.

      • WOT says:

        “All that you have shown is that you aren’t very bright. 80% of the ice sheet is at high altitude like Summit Station ”
        Weather conditions are different at different points in spite of ‘similar’ elevation.

        But since you claim 80% of greenland is as high as the summit station, I decided to look it up:

        Doesn’t look like you are at all correct.

      • WOT says:

        “All that you have shown is that you aren’t very bright. 80% of the ice sheet is at high altitude like Summit Station ”
        So I guess by this logic Mt. Elbert in CO has exactly the same climate as Mt. Hood in Oregon. Oh wait…

        • I fly over the Greenland ice sheet on a regular basis. It is a flat, continuous sheet of ice with essentially no relief except near the edges. Your comparison is absurd.

  4. WOT says:

    Also, they’re not getting ‘buried’ in snow. They don’t look like they’ve been receiving that much precipitation over the last month. What you’re seeing is what gets blown around from somewhere else that probably fell a long time ago.

    The summit did see some temps above freezing though over the last month:

    So it’s possible they also saw a little bit of melt.

  5. Andy DC says:

    It’s the alarmists who are making ridiculous claims about 2 hours of 35 degree temps. It is the alarmists making the claim of catastrophic melt. It is your side that needs to prove your case by doing more than regugitating fabricated data fed to you by agenda driven puppet masters.

    The 10,000+ ft. Greenland Ice Cap covers most of Greenland, not 3% as you are implying. The one station at 10,000+ feet is more representative of Greenland than all the other stations not on the icecap. The Ice Cap is it what it is, 10,000+ feet over most of Greenland, regardless of the amount of alarmist misrepresentation.

  6. Andy DC says:

    Sorry if I exaggerated by a couple thousand feet, but you get my point.

    The Greenie Alarmist Lefties. Only are happy to get their Arctic info from the WWF or Greenpeace.

    Speaking of which I see the Greenpeace vessel Arctic Sunrise is in the Barents sea area. So they must be on a polar bear expedition. Probably want to catch a few more Polar bears for their next Greenpeace advertisement campaign. It appears the last polar bear they caught starved to death in London when they released it for filming. The next wandering scrounging hungry polar bears could be coming to your neighbour so watchout. Greenpeace could be releasing a Polar Bear in the Middle East next. Rumors have it probably Dubai. The Polar bear is expected to be filmed instantly melting in the sun there. So be warned. AGW/CC is a bitch. 🙂
