Huge chunk of ice just broke off the Jakobshavn glacier in Greenland....
The huge frozen island of Greenland just lost a chunk of ice and the results are dramatic enough to be visible from the space. The massive calf in the infamous Jakobshavn glacier cost the island almost five square miles of ice, which could perhaps make it the biggest calving event on record.
“We are now seeing summer speeds more than four times what they were in the 1990s, on a glacier which at that time was believed to be one of the fastest, if not the fastest, glacier in Greenland,” said Dr. Joughin.

That's not possible. When Obama was campaigning in 08 he promised that the oceans would cease to rise and he would never lie to us. Must be some kind of mistake.
Meanwhile scientist say that the sun is going into a slow/low sunspot cycle where we are expecting to have another mini ice age like we did 3-4 hundred years ago.
Can't have both happening at once, so can someone make up their minds and figure out what they heck scientists really know?
We haven't seen any of these models be even remotely accurate, I don't know why we would believe this one is the exception.
Some media sources are not even remotely accurate about science. I don't know why some people automatically believe them without doing any fact-checking.
