Liberals have gone as far as to melt Greenland to perpetuate their hoax,

Our understanding of local ice mass balance is still rudimentary. Give it about ten years and we might have enough data points to see if melts like this are within natural variability. With ten more years of satellite data we could even start parameterizing for them.

Until then, any alarmism over it is politics rather than science.

This would be a logical way to think about climate and the need to gather more scientific evidence...if we had another earth to live on. We don't. Do we really want to place our bets on the side that thinks it's just "politics"?

So what would you do to convince a fractious climatology community that we're mainly to blame for Greenland melting?

How about another climate scientology pilgrimage to the arctic, like those boating expeditions that get stuck every year in polar ice that isn't supposed to be there? Perhaps we can do that again and invite more ridicule and disrepute onto the scientific community.

Failing that, how about a trust fund for polar bears?
