Study Finds Greenland Glaciers Losing 10 Billion Tons of Ice Per Year

The glaciers of northeast Greenland, long thought to be the most stable part of the massive Greenland ice sheet, are melting at an accelerating pace, losing roughly 10 billion tons of ice annually for the past decade, say researchers from the U.S. and Denmark.

This map shows major ice drainages in Greenland, along with measured ice surface velocities. The northeast Greenland ice stream (NEGIS) now appears to be retreating as rapidly, or perhaps more rapidly, than other parts of the ice sheet, including Jakobshavn Isbræ (JI), Helheim Glacier (HG) and Kangerdlugssuaq (KG).

The finding will likely boost estimates of global sea level rise, which had previously not accounted for massive ice loss from that region, scientists say. The Zachariae ice stream in northeast Greenland, which drains 16 percent of the ice sheet, has retreated roughly 12.4 miles during the past decade, outpacing the fast-moving Jakobshavn glacier, which has retreated 21.7 miles over the last 150 years.

Ice loss from the region is likely accelerating, the researchers say, because ice dams in nearby bays that had been blocking the glaciers’ paths are now also melting, freeing the way for them to flow into the ocean.

“Northeast Greenland is very cold—it used to be considered the last stable part of the Greenland ice sheet,” explained the lead researcher of the report, which was published in Nature C*****e C****e. “This study shows that ice loss in the northeast is now accelerating. So, now it seems that all of the margins of the Greenland ice sheet are unstable.”

well if it has been retreating for 150 yrs that lets us out you need another scapegoat.

This is bad news. Recently scientists have noticed such a major retreat of winter ice in Alaska, that herds of Walrus are now coming on to land, much too early for the season. There is a also a decline of the Polar bear population.

The worst news is yet to come. Even slight increases in the earth's overall temperature causes a thawing of perma-frost especially in Siberia. When the perma-frost thaws trapped methane gas is released, which warms the atmosphere, causing more methane release. This is a vicious feed-back loop. The consequences??? Mass extinctions.

Time to restrict our consumption of f****l f**ls.

Do the public want to listen to the 95% of scientists concerned about c*****e c****e? It would seem a lot wiser than listening to those Nobel Laureates Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly.

Look Deadbrain,,, have your nurse get with me so your computer time can be curtailed,,, you arent able to compete here with the lies and politics of falsehood,,, concerning g****l w*****g,,

"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that the polar bear population is currently at 20,000 to 25,000 bears, up from as low as 5,000-10,000 bears in the 1950s and 1960s. A 2002 U.S. Geological Survey of wildlife in the Arctic Refuge Coastal Plain noted that the polar bear populations 'may now be near historic highs,'" it read.

J. Scott Armstrong of The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania; Kesten C. Green of Business and Economic Forecasting, Monash University; and Willie Soon of Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, published their findings in 2008, arguing that the claims of declining population among polar bears are not based on scientific forecasting principles."

No they are based on simpleton minah birds,,, like you,, Awwwkkkk G****l W*****g, AWWWWKKK Bush Did it, AWWKKK the sky is falling,,,,,

Musk Ox:
"Population size and trends World population is estimated at 100,000 and is increasing.
Canada: Muskox populations in Canada are estimated around 75,400 individuals.
Alaska:Within Alaska 3,714 animals were estimated.
Greenland: The population size in Greenland during the 1990´s was estimated to number 9,500 to 12,500.
Norway: No information about population size of the (re)introduced populations in Norway is found available yet.
Russia: The Musk ox was introduced at Taymyr in 1974 (30 animals). C*******m k**led them...

The total reintroduced population is estimated at about 8,000 animals as described in the article: Reintroduction of Musk ox in the northern Russia." http://www.lhnet.org/musk-ox

Polar bears are increasing too,,,, see the numbers I posted earlier

Wolves,,, about to be delisted

Fox:http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/899/0

Justification: The Arctic Fox has a circumpolar distribution in all Arctic tundra habitats, with a global population in the order of several hundred thousand animals. Most populations fluctuate widely in numbers between years in response to varying lemming numbers. In most areas population status is believed to be good.
History: Reassessed in 2008 still least concern
2004 – Least Concern


This great extinction is just NOT happening.......certainly not by anything man has done.. or can do for that matter.

Other recent studies had estimated more moderate ice loss from Greenland’s northeast.
