Since the end of August 2016, Greenland’s surface has gained 1.15 trillion tons of new ice, which is more than 50% above normal. Surface mass balance is the difference between snowfall and melt. Snow is falling much faster than it is melting in Greenland.
This is not surprising, giving that ocean temperatures around Greenland are record cold.
Meanwhile, the climate mafia continues their endless barrage of lies and fraud.
Democrats have announced that it is treason to dispute claims made by the intelligence community. Lock them all up ……

July 16 was a relatively cool day in 1936, averaging only 94 degrees, but US July 16 afternoon temperatures have been declining since the 19th century.
On this date in 1901, 100 degree temperatures spread from California to Maine, and it was 113 degrees in Oklahoma.
Arctic sea ice volume melt is slightly faster than two days ago, and my new projection for an ice-free Arctic is August 23 at 11:58 am.
Some people may question my methodology, but it is the standard methodology of the world’s leading climate scientists – and I simply do not have the climate science seance academic qualifications to question them.
Gore: Polar ice cap may disappear by summer 2014
Note that my estimate is more conservative than the one made by Nobel Laureate Al Gore ManBearPig, and matches the one made by the Democrats’ leading climate prophet, which echoes the work of other scientists.

Since the year 1900, July 16 maximum temperatures at Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin have dropped nearly five degrees, with a sharp drop beginning about ten years ago. Today’s forecast is 83 degrees, which is about four degrees below the long term mean.
It has been twenty years since France won the World Cup.
Fifteen years ago, France was just about to enter a heat wave which killed thousands of people. I was freezing on the beach at Christchurch, England during early July 2003, but a few days later the weather warmed up. (I wish I would have gone a week later when it was warm.) During the first two weeks of August, temperatures in France were near 100 degrees.

Two months ago, climate experts declared the 2003 heatwave to be the new normal.
The study also finds that climate change made such an extreme heat event 4 times as likely.

As usual, the climate scientists who did this study didn’t use any actual data – which shows that 2003 was an outlier and that there has been no change in the number of hot days in France over the past 120 years.
