Title: The glaciers that are actually GROWING, not shrinking: Post by: Donna on 28-Jan-11, 06:35:49 AM Climate change not as catastrophic as scientists first thought.
Climate change may not be as catastrophic for Greenland's icecaps as scientists first thought after researchers found hotter summers may actually slow down the flow of glaciers. Increased melting in the warmer summer months is causing the internal drainage system of the ice sheet to 'adapt' and accommodate more melt-water, without speeding up the flow of ice toward the oceans http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1350994/Greenland-glaciers-flow-slower-hot-summers-adapting-climate-change.html (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1350994/Greenland-glaciers-flow-slower-hot-summers-adapting-climate-change.html) hmmm Title: Re: The glaciers that are actually GROWING, not shrinking: Post by: MAK on 28-Jan-11, 06:55:04 AM Believe me when they say things are not as bad as they thought they are just giving lip service to us! :gum:

Yes and the Winter Olympics will be held in NJ!

No one could afford to park their car. |
