Darn, I could never figure out why they called it Greenland. /s
The melting got it’s own segment on ABC news tonight. No mention of it happening every 150 years.

You mean they had global warming 150 years ago too!
Rocky, Rocky, Rocky.
This is the old “Man bites Dog” is news, but “Dog bites Man” is not news journalism rule.
Lighten up! This is the world of Junk Science, as reported by those who Journal for the sheer joy of it!
Actually, Real Science is just to hard to understand in a 30 second news story.
ABC is in the business to sell advertising on the few minutes a night that they have time for news.
So here you are Rocky, a budding journalist and your editor says write a headline to sell some ads AND hold the attention of the surfing audience.
Which do you send to your Editor?
1.) “Melting events of this type occur about once every 150 years on average.”
2.) “Unprecedented Greenland Ice Sheet Surface Melt”
# 1 is really boring, and # 2 is full of fear and adventure!
# 2 wins in the race for the ad dollar, every time - - - .
Sounds like another ‘Inconvenient Truth’. ;o)
Well, it looks like this one is happening about 27 years early.
