    Nailed it.
    What's more, virtually all of the sea ice about landed ice would need to melt before the landed ice would be affected, and that's not happening.

    Anthropogenic-catastrophic-global climate change is not unlike evolution in that you can't see it; you can't feel it. In fact, you need "experts" to tell you that it's happening.

    If you are not feeling it then you are not going outside

    Because...?
    Anyone who thinks he or she can feel global climate change is a loon.

    Who pays the global warming alarmists? I know she was at several universities.

    I don't know a hell of a lot about states but for CA coasts but here CA passed a law a looooong time ago to severely restrict the use of land up to 20 miles from the ocean. It is very doubtful the sea can harm all that many over than those here today.

    Were this Holland and the Democrats this scared, we would have walls going up at a furious pace.

    One of the world's fastest-shrinking glaciers is growing again, study finds
    Social Sharing

    A major Greenland glacier that was one of the fastest-shrinking ice and snow masses on Earth is growing again, a NASA study has found.

    The Jakobshavn glacier around 2012 was retreating about three kilometres and thinning nearly 40 metres annually. But it started growing again at about the same rate in the past two years, according to a study in Monday's Nature Geoscience.

    "That was kind of a surprise. We kind of got used to a runaway system," said Jason Box, an ice and climate scientist with the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland. "The good news is that it's a reminder that it's not necessarily going that fast. But it is going."

    Box, who wasn't part of the study, said Jakobshavn is "arguably the most important Greenland glacier because it discharges the most ice in the Northern Hemisphere. For all of Greenland, it is king."

    A natural cyclical cooling of North Atlantic waters likely caused the glacier to reverse course, said study lead author Ala Khazendar, a NASA glaciologist on the Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) project. Khazendar and colleagues say this coincides with a flip of the North Atlantic Oscillation — a natural and temporary cooling and warming of parts of the ocean that is like a distant cousin to El Niño in the Pacific.

    The water in Disko Bay, where Jakobshavn hits the ocean, is about 2 C cooler than a few years ago, study authors said.

    No glacier reversed course. In fact, your cite says that glacier is continuing to move even faster.

    An ocean current changed its route, and that affected a glacier. And, your cite says the glacier is contributing to sea rise even more than before.

    You're still trying to be the expert - proposing implications that don't have science behind them.

    This is called ad hominem attack. Attack the messenger. Just dumb to employ these types of argument fallacies.

    Have to laugh, the Greenland Jakobshavn glacier is growing again and the AGW crowd says that is a bad thing.

    So, Denmark should throw open its borders to mass immigration?

    Would that look something like how we throw open OUR borders to those in risk of their lives?

    I assumed you knew that Greenland is governed by Denmark.

    So, I asked you if you thought Denmark should throw open its borders to immigration.

    This is an important point. As we in the US see, countries do not like open borders. Yet a warming Earth IS putting pressure on people movement.
