That's never happened before. Even scientists are unsure of the reason and aren't necessarily attributing it to climate change, but it has happened.
Sorry to prove you wrong, but it has happened before.
When most of the glacier finally melts, we can send in archaeologists to dig for artifacts left by the people who colonized Greenland, and then abandoned that land when the glaciers ran them out.

It has happened many, many, many times in the last 2,000 years.

That was a rather ambient Straw Man Argument.
(ACM) Anthropogenic Crustal Melting, is that what you're driving at?
So, uh, what part of "Inter-Glacial Period" do you people not understand?

"This kind of comprehensive surface melting might happen about every 150 years or so in Greenland, which would make this year unusual but not unprecedented, Serreze said by telephone."
Thaks cruxan, these videos are exactly what I was after. I still doubtb this is caused by anything more than a hot spell, and sooner or later the ice will be back, and a littlen past that in time that same ice will be back here in NH, as it once was, and apx 2 miles high......
geeze in the last vid where climbers are on the ice, I think i saw a chouinard ice axe when fit with wooden grips.. Those are antique and collectable.
