There seems to be a trend going on and it starts to make the situation a decade ago look like the outlier.
In the article, it says, “…but the Greenland ice sheet may have made a net gain in size in the year to August 2022.”, but in the source quoted, the opening paragraph states,
“The end of the northern-hemisphere summer brings to a close the Greenland ice sheet melt season and with it confirmation that 2022 was the 26th year in a row where Greenland lost ice overall.”
Surely net and overall mean the same thing?
Can someone please tell me what I failed to see…
Greenland gains mass every year. The melt season is just over 2 months long, while the ‘mass gain’ season is 10 months long. The graph from the DMI always ends higher than at the start and then the graph starts again each year. So there is a constant flow of ice off Greenland because there is a near constant dumping of snow. In 1942 a P38 Lightning crash landed on the Greenland Ice sheet and in 1992 she was brought to the surface having been buried under 268 feet of ice. Incidentally, research into the age of the ice cannot find much ice dating from before the last inter glacial, the Eemian, which was 120,000 years ago and hotter than the Holocene.
In addition. The assertion that Greenland is losing mass has been derived from models – need I say (write) more?
Thanks for replying; but I still don’t understand why the above article says the opposite to the article quoted.
When you say that “the assertion that Greenland …derived from models“, do you mean that they use models when talking about the last 26 years?
It says “the Greenland ice sheet lost 84Gt of ice over the 12 months from September 2021 to August 2022.” Surely the 84Gt figure is not derived from a model.
I’m not an espert, and only recently became a sceptic: I’m just trying to understand.
I don’t know how they come to that conclusion because according to polarportal.dk Greenland gained 600 Gt from Sept 21 and up to June, and then lost 150 Gt between June and Sept 2022 – Overall a gain of 450 Gt.

SILENCE———There is a “Climate Emergency” and that is all there is to it. The BBC says so. The Daily Climate Show on SKY NEWS says so and that should be good enough for everyone so go and enjoy your Netflix and Coronation Street because there is a “Climate Crisis” and everything you do needs to stop to avert it. Soon you won’t have any notes in your wallet, and your spending will be monitored to make sure you have not exceeded your carbon footprint limits. ——Wakey Wakey people. You are being played. ————–“Climate Emergency” is political speak masquerading as science.
It’s children that are the most vocal about the ‘Climate Emergency’ and ‘Climate Crimes’.

“Every fourth euro spent within the EU budget will go towards action to mitigate climate change… I am glad to see that young people are taking to the streets in Europe to raise visibility of the issue of climate change.” – Jean-Claude Juncker
And children who are most susceptible to propaganda.
Yes, and the tyrants know this:

Ooh, Germany’s reopening an opencast coalmine (Nigel Farage, GB News).
Taking the Chinese and the Ukrainian route are they? Meanwhile, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland bans fracking. Hmm…
Germany has a choice: start behaving sensibly or watch their manufacturing sector disappear.
They’ve chosen sense.
Much as its good news to hear that the planet does actually know best, the so called climate emergency is just a ruse to sweep away our society and replace it with communism. If the ice sheets were 50 metres thicker, it wouldn’t matter one jot…
The Vikings gave Greenland it’s name for a good reason; it was Green, and warm enough to grow crops. Climate crisis is a globalist scam.
Many thanks Chris. Keep it up.
No, no this cannot be true. St David of Attenborough hasn’t made mention of this!!
Another great article, Chris. If only we could get you on the MSM to show the masses they’re being duped.
If you’ve got about 38 billion pounds…
