Claims Of A Runaway Melt Are Overblown.
WUWT:
We have carefully read the definition of a “tipping point” as conveyed by Potsdam Institute (PIK): “It’s like a pencil that you push further and further over the edge of a table with your finger. First nothing happens – then it falls.” That’s what the PIK website says.
Nothing can bring the pencil back to the table except a failure of gravity, which is not conceivable. Then PIK lists various “elements” that are supposed to exhibit such behavior. To the ice sheet of Greenland one finds there
There are indications that the tipping point, which leads to an almost complete loss of ice in the long term (about 10,000 years), could probably be reached at a global warming of just under 1.5°C (possible from 0.8°C global warming, at the latest at 3°C).“
Now there’s a paper on the subject has appeared in “Nature“, which paints a different picture. It finds that even after a possibly “critical warming threshold” has been crossed, “the pencil does not fall down: MORE
HEY, THIS REMINDS ME THAT RICHARD ROUNDTREE (SHAFT) REACHED HIS TIPPING POINT AND DIED TODAY
HE’S THE FIRST DUDE I EVER HEARD ABOUT HAVING A DOUBLE MASTECTOMY
RIP, SHAFT…YES, TALKIN’ ‘BOUT SHAFT
BENITO
Shut yo mouth. LOL
Eek. Should I panic?
The Vikings settled in Greenland during a warming period. They kept sheep. It changed, got too cold for sheep and they left.
They did not want to live on seals like the natives had always done.
Saw a photo once of a big long gash of melted ice there. Not from global warming but underground thermal heat.
“Greenland’s Tipping Point Cancelled!”
darn! & I just brought tickets for the event … even ordered a tailored tux

You can fool some of the poeple, all of the time…
Biden is going to start a war with Greenland now for not doing what it’s supposed to by causing a threat to democrats version of democracy. Quick, fleece taxpayers and airdrop a few hundred billion dollars to settle science the way it’s supposed to be settled.
Hmmmm….Greenland’s (thermal) mass possibly having a temperature stabilizing influence?
At least we haven’t heard of it possibly tipping over.
Did you ever wonder why it’s called Greenland and not Whiteland? Go back a few years and it was geen, no snow. They’ve done some ice cores and found evidence of lush greenery at the bottom.
When I saw the headline I thought it was tipping over like Guam.
👆🏽 😂 😝 😂
“Nothing can bring the pencil back to the table except a failure of gravity” How about the person who pushed the pencil off the table, surely they could put the pencil back on the table, you fucking dumbass. Everything is doom and gloom with these clowns.
I discovered Greenland.
This info will be squashed.
Maine unelected bureaucrats just decided that Janet Millstone’s plan to be like CA and ban gas vehicle sales by 2035.
South Portland, ME is talking banning gas lawn equipment.
Not one prediction in the past 50 yrs has come to pass and they always set these oppressive goals for after they’re out of office.
When Alexander III of Macedon invaded Afghanistan it was a fertile, fully-watered area. Ten centuries later is was a desert. Anyone who believes the Anthropogenic Globaloney Warming Hoax is both ignorant and stupid.
No one that ignorant or that stupid should be in charge of ANYTHING!

Greenland will never be green.

That’s someone’s mother you’re insulting.
Huff on outta here.
