James Blalog used to have time lapse videos of glaciers in Greenland at this URL :

They didn’t show any glacial loss, so he got rid of it.
But he left up images like is, trying to scare people about sea level.

About two trillion cubic metres of snow falls on Greenland per year. All of that has to return to the sea to maintain an even sea level. Blalog is the equivalent of an Enron accountant who reports income, but fails to report spending.
The difference is that Blalog reports his faulty accounting all over the world, without fear of retribution.
Unrelated- Senator Inhofe plane crash. Very tragic in more than one way.
He was a voice of sanity in the senate and prevented some foolish government
happenings. Associated with Cfact and Climate Depot
I think that it was his son who died in a private plane crash, not the Senator.
Unrelated. This photo calls it Disko Bay but all my old books (I love to read 18th and 17th century science books) call it Disco. Not Disco Bay, just Disco.
I wonder if they changed the spelling in the 1970’s to keep bad dancers out of Greenland.
His name is Balog.
Antarctica is 6.46 times the size of Greenland.
Antarctica is wholly within the Antarctic circle with the pole in the heart of the continent while Greenland is some 450 miles from the pole – 7 degrees of latitude.
Antarctica’s ice sheet is significantly thicker that Greenland’s – >4 km versus 3 Km.
The amount of sea ice loss at the north is more than compensated by the increase at the south.
Why is the scientific community allowing this ice free Arctic and catastrophic sea level rise BS to go unchallenged ??
That is the question !
I’m wondering why “NASA scientists” who are not qualified as quantity surveyors are flying around Greenland measuring ice that is not melting. Unless they are qualified and licensed surveyors, they are burning up public money for a sight seeing trip and not “science”. This is just a simple geographical survey of surface topography. NASA don’t need “scientists” to do that.

Shock News: Smithsonian says Philippines can blame Denmark since the typhoon storm surge destruction was caused by Greenland melting away. But Greenland is still covered in glacial ice to 3 km depth.
