   Good thing they had not built those hotels in the 1700s…. they’d have been Miles away from the glaciers, by 1902.

     satellite observations show a drop in Greenland’s reflectiveness. The darker surface absorbs more sunlight, accelerating melting.

       And yet the Greenland ice sheet would not melt when temperatures were 8C warmer than today. Go figure…

   Would an accurate comment be more snow and less glacial ice in Europe?

   Scotland has had a great season this year for snow at Aviemore with lots of skiing done.
