Satellite images analyzed by NASA revealed that the icy surface of Greenland has melted more this month than at any time in the history of its observation from space. Almost the entire ice sheet experienced some sort of melting at its surface in recent weeks.
A couple of hours just above the freezing mark, isn’t a major meltdown.
Temperatures have gotten higher numerous times in the last few decades. Apparently NASA just missed them.
And even NASA admits that this happens about once every 150 years. This was a NASA honesty and integrity meltdown, not an ice meltdown.

Arctic sea ice extent. 2007 was far below 1979-2000 (so was 2008-2011). 2012 is worse. Data from http://NSIDC.org. http://pic.twitter.com/veybpCEf

AAARRRRGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!! The sun’s going crazy!!!! It’s all our fault.
I don’t care. My fridge still works and the beer is still cold.
Steven, scientists at NASA and other federal agencies (DOE, EPA, NSF, ERDA, etc) are feeling the heat of an approaching election, . . .
As the best efforts of world leaders, politicians and pet scientists fail to halt unfolding new evidence of fraudulent government science since 1945:

Collectively our entire society is now rapidly approaching a breaking point.
You asked, “How Does This Madness End?”
Regretfully, this madness will likely end in violent disaster for all, . . .
if we cannot soon escape back to sanity.

The whole system is corrupt. They look like addicted children . Out of control.
A new spin on an old joke but I thought Steve might like this one:
The angels in heaven wanted some recreation, and thus challenged hell to a soccer match. The devils quickly agreed. The angels, upon reflection said, “You know that you will lose, because we have the best players in heaven.”
The devils replied, “No way, don’t forget that we are hosting all soccer officials here!”
NASA must have it’s own in house Department of Propaganda. Probably members of the SpinMeisters Union.
You could have taken a look at the source of data which Steven is posting here.
Even the DMI says on the 2010 (and the other older peaks): these data are unlikely to be correct: one value at 4.3°C and the hour before anf after below freezing. 2012 was definitely different.
So do not blame the foolishness of NASA.
Stay away from the beach. The tsunami of melting Greenland ice is coming soon.
Could you please describe the mechanism of MELTING ice causing a tsunami?
You probably ment calving glacier.
NASA maps showed that the whole Greenland Ice Sheet melted in two hours. Look for a giant tsunami.
BWAAAAHAHAHAHA!
english grammar isn’t that difficult:

Come n Steven
the ice meleted not IN two hours rater FOR a couple of hours. Is this really that difficult?
Still the the mechanism for a tsunami caused be liquid water is missing.
Your BS isn’t that difficult either, by the sounds of it!
