Greenland Ice Sheet Not Going Anywhere in a Hurry, Say Boffins
3rd August 2012
Doom-laden predictions that the seas are set to rise by a metre or more this century due to the melting of the Greenland ice sheet are well off the mark, a team of scientists has announced in a new study of the matter.
“It turns out that the ice sheet, in relation to this point, behaves more dynamically and is able to more quickly stabilise itself in comparison to what many other models and computer calculations otherwise predict,” explains Professor Kurt Kjaer of Copenhagen uni.

Meanwhile, NASA satelites show that the Greenland ice sheet demonstrates surface melting at the fastest rate in 30 years. http://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/greenland-melt.html

As we know from the Al Gore clan, all the ice is melting into the sea.
So name the city that is now under water because of Global Warming. The name of an island is OK, or maybe a beach.

So you don’t fix the leaky faucet in your bathtub until the ceiling of the apartment downstairs collapses? Is that how you work?

Analogy is not your strong suit, Denny. Answer the question put to you. One city, island, or beach. Name and location, please. Or run along.
