“Observations of the Alpine glaciers during a series of years have supplied proof that these great ice streams ave long been in process of recession. Similar evidence with regard to the Greenland glaciers has not been collected over a wile area. though Dr. M. C. Engell, of Copenhagen, who visited the Jakobshavn glacier last summer, has made a collection of facts which seems to show conclusively that the glaciers of Greenland are also receding. Dr. Engell selected the Jakobshavn glacier for his studies because it is the only glacier of Greenland which has been observed by white visitors for a long period of time, At least nine visitors, several of them men of science, have examined these glaciers within the past 53 years, They did not all record the location of its front so clearly that Dr Engell, in making his map, can be certain that he has correctly assigned the position of its face at the time each man saw it, but there seems to be little doubt that his map of the retreat of the Jakobshavn glacier just published In Petermann’s Mitteilungen i approximately correct, Among the visitors to the glacier whose observations are shown on Dr, Engell’s may were Rink, Nordenskjold, and other well known Arctic students. The map shows approximately the position of the front of the great glacier In 1850, 1875, 1879; March, 1460: August, 1880; February, 1893; August. 1893, and 1902.
The information given on the map indicates that in the past fifty-three years the face of the glacier has retreated about eight miles. Not only ts it shorter than it formerly was, but its mass has otherwise been reduced to a very considerable extent. The surface of the glacier now lies from 20 to 30 feet below its former level and the precipitous walls of rock that hem it in bear the record of this change of level. It ts found also that the other glaciers in that neighborhood are in process of retreat. and the evidence collected by Dr. Engell shows that this process has been going on for a long period of years This evidence would seem to show that for the past half century the summer heat has been greater than it was for a considerable period before that time, with the result that on the whole the ice of south Greenland has beer melting a little more rapidly than It has formed.”

“The truth is that the threat we face is not an abstract concern for the future. It is already upon us and its effects are being felt worldwide, right now. Scientists project that the Arctic will be ice-free in the summer of 2013. Not in 2050, but four years from now.”

There has been no trend in the Arctic sea ice minimum over the last 16 years.

Some of the most widely proclaimed science academics don’t appear to understand the fundamentals of science. There are a few good ones however who have withstood the pressure to conform to climate nonsense.

“LEAVENWORTH, Kan., September 12.—About noon today a veritable simoon struck this city. The air was as hot as if off a cooking-stove and leaves cooked and dried up beneath the scorching rays. …. birds perished with the heat.”

There appears to be one-upmanship in climate academia, where each new baseless prediction is substantially more ridiculous than previous ones.  All peer-reviewed of course.

Experts say the Arctic is burning and the hot Arctic is making China freeze.

Growth of Arctic sea ice during the first three weeks of December was second largest in the last 45 years, and extent is second highest in the last nineteen years.
