Geee Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Daily Caller: Greenland is melting due to global warming and will raise sea levels 20 feet, according to an in-depth The New York Times article. The Times followed climate scientists on their quest to collect data from Greenland to help explain exactly what’s happening to the world’s second-largest ice sheet. The science blogger Steven Goddard (a pseudonym) criticized the Times article’s portrayal of Greenland as rapidly melting. “The volume of the ice sheet is 3,000,000 cubic kilometers. Using the most aggressive claims, it would take 15,000 years for the ice sheet to melt,” Goddard wrote. “That accounts for a sea level rise of about one hundredth of an inch per year.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
