More utter, total bullshit from experts. This is what Greenland looks like during the summer of 2013.

not sure what’s alarming about new forests?
I know, they make this sound like a bad thing!
Hey, steve-o, Rush is giving you a big plug right now on the radio. Get ready for some ‘traffic.’
🙂
What is he discussing?
In my travels (I think from Anthony’s site) I have seen a hand drawn map of Greenland purportedly from the early 1500s, with extensive topography clearly shown. I realize the ice sheet has survived previous warm periods, but this map was a thing to behold. Still looking for it.
Are you talking about the Piri Reis map? That also allegedly shows the actual land area of Antarctica.
I have always wondered how Greenland got it’s name. Seems a murderer named it from Iceland.

Maybe one day Greenland will return to tje conditions the Vikings found. I would think in about 115K years during the next interglacial.
This claim requires melting 2.6 x10^6 Gtons in 86 years, or 30,200 GT/yr. Current melt rate for Greenland is 100 – 200 GT/yr, which is a factor of 200 lower than needed.
It may seem like a factor of 200 is a stretch, but Hansen’s predicted future floods require sea level rise today that is fast approaching a one comma exaggeration.
Another green energy area where one comma exaggerations show up is actual output versus nameplate capacity of wind farms.
btw, one comma = 1,000
Is the progress of Yong Sheng slowing?

Zoom in for date/time.
Also seems to have been joined by nuclear breaker 50 let Pobedy

Yes, it looks like that the 50 let Pobedy is at the same position as the Yong Sheng. I can’t get the coordinates but, the overlap visually of both ships shows them at the same location. Sorry, can’t give you the tracking method as it uses a password.
I’m not sure how exact this ice cover is that is connected with Google earth, but the location of both ships visually compared would be white (estimated). http://oceans.taraexpeditions.org/carte/

Thanks for the link, also spotted a reduction in speed here:-
http://www.marinetraffic.com/ais/datasheet.aspx?datasource=SHIPS_CURRENT&alpha=Y&mode=&orderby=SHIPNAME&sort_order=ASC&var_page=6
Sadly reporting is haphazard, presently showing circa 9 knots, which seems high given the track, had been making 14 knots through Chukchi sea.
Will be interesting to watch the progress
Canada reporting some new ice forming in Archipelago. Not much, but it’s a start.

As far as Greenland, I guess these articles just keep the faithful, well, faithful. Just got to have those experts in fantasy to keep the train moving along.
A prediction for 87 years ahead of time is entirely meaningless, unless based on extrapolation. Considering there has been no warming in 17 years, extrapolation shows no ice loss at all.
