NASA says Greenland ice is disappearing, and they also say they found a 1959 military base buried under 100 feet of new ice.

So?
The rate of sea level rise is unchanged in a hundred years. NASA is proving melting (sic) of Greenland ice doesn’t matter.
(Melting is just one way ice is reduced. Evaporation is another significant way. NASA isn’t very smart.)
It would be nice to get people without a political bent in charge of NASA and NOAA, then we could start believing what they say. Right now, it could be true, but they can’t be trusted, so they are worthless.
NASA has infringed so much on NOAA’s job, I think we can just get rid of NOAA.
Perhaps they are competing for the same funds, so the agency with the most extreme story gets the money. Hopefully, with the change in administration, the criterion might change.

About half way down the data is :
2. Accumulation rate in central Greenland
Column 1: Age (thousand years before present)
Column 2: Accumulation rate (m. ice/year)
Age Accumulation
1st 0.144043 0.244106
last 2
48.9746 0.091739
49.0034 0.091599
So 49,000 years and there are no negative numbers for Accumulation. Or every time period has increased volume. On the summit, Greenland over the last 49,000 years has only gained ice.
Hopefully Trump will drain NASA swamp creatures.
