Key Greenland glacier growing again after shrinking for years, NASA study shows

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

The Jakobshavn (YA-cob-shawv-en) glacier around 2012 was retreating about 1.8 miles (3 kilometers) and thinning nearly 130 feet (almost 40 meters) 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. Study authors and outside scientists think this is temporary.

The last glacial period of the Pleistocene ended about 11,700 years ago. The warming that caused the disappearance of the Continental Glaciers has continued since then, with occasional short cooling period. The Earth is warming, but for short periods like the so called “Little Ice Age” and in certain geographical areas, cooling may occur. Human activity may have had some effect in recent years, or not, it’s impossible to say to what degree humans have played a role.

What is permanent is the incessant “climate change” propaganda emanating from the grifter “scientists” and “journalists”.

Oldies will know what I’m talking about.

Enough to make a glacier grow and stiffen up!

Yup, whether it’s the Ice Age or the Oceans becoming boiling seas of acid, the solution is ALWAYS the same:

Destroy American free enterprise.

Oh, my! Now global warming is making it grow. Oh, dear! That means we’re heading into a destructive ice age unless we give the globalist left absolute power. That’s called modern science. Consensus, you know.
