“A new study suggests there could be no summer ice at all as early as 2020.”

“Sperry glacier in 1900 had a surface area of 840 acres. By 1938 the area had shrunk to 390 acres, and in 1946 to about 330 acres. Even more significant is the lowering of the glacier’s surface. In 1938 Sperry glacier had a thickness of 108 feet at the site of the 1946 ice margin. At this same place in 1913 the thickness was nearly 500 feet, and the average thickness of the glacier over the area from which it has since disappeared at least 300 feet. The average thickness of Grinnell glacier in 1937 at the site of the 1946 ice front was seventy-three feet. The surface of the entire glacier was lowered fifty-six feet during that 9-year period. This means that each year the glacier was reduced in volume by an amount ‘of ice equivalent to a cube 450 feet high. Thus the volume of Grinnell glacier was reduced by about one-third from September, 1937, to September, 1946.

One Is Almost Gone.

“Several other glaciers have exhibited more — phenomenal shrinkage than Sperry or Grinnell. The topographic map of Glacier National park. prepared in 1900-1902, shows several comparatively large glaciers such as Agassiz, Blackfoot and Harrison. Their shrinkage has been so pronounced that today Agassiz has virtually disappeared and the other two are pitifully small remnants”

Satellite imagery shows that the Grinnell Glacier has expanded over the past thirty years.

But the satellite deniers at Yale University say the glacier isn’t growing.

One of the great people in climate science, Dr. Tim Ball, passed away this weekend. Tim and I did a speaking tour in Australia around the time of the 2016 US election. These are presentations we gave to the ‘Climate Realists of Five Dock’ group in Sydney, Australia.

“global consumption of coal is expected to rise this year to about 8 billion tonnes.

This would take it back to the record level of nearly a decade ago. Meanwhile, oil inventories are low, and effective global spare capacity is now about one and a half percent of global demand.”

“According to a new study led by Eurac Research – a private research center from Bolzano, Italy – global snow cover has been steadily declining over the past four decades.

“I chose a highly attested NASA global model as the basis and then refined it. In fact, for the period when the data from the model and the more precise satellite images overlapped, I was able to better calibrate the model thanks to so-called ‘artificial neural networks,’ a computational system that falls under the aegis of artificial intelligence,” explained Notarnicola.”
