A few years later, some Scandinavian kid found the box at a beach.
That suggests that "new" precipitation displaces the less-than-new cover off the ice cap.
I have no idea about the balance between the thickness, that is, what melts on the bottom versus how new cover is integrated onto the cap.
Well, first consider this: 70.9% of this planet is covered in World Ocean which is approx. 139.7 MILLION square miles.....
The island of Greenland is only 836,300 square miles with approx. 660,000 square miles of permanent ice which varies from only a few meters thick at the perimeter (which is constantly melting and freezing by the way) to a few thousand feet at the center and deepest point of the ice mass which will likely never melt do the average extreme cold.
With that being said, there isn't enough ice on Greenland to even raise the oceans a couple of feet if it were to all melt......and that ain't ever going to happen.
I was just about to remark that I’m on a 2000 foot mountain and I can go out in the back yard and kick up sea lily and various seashell fossils with no effort.
I’m pretty certain they didn’t all just walk here.
Funny. I was just thinking about the valleys of California in the same vein...
Life on earth has not always been the pleasant, idyllic, scene that we are all used to today.
And then gawd created Maxxim Magazine just in time for summer...
Man, I hate living in California.
The rains finally stopped, the sun came out and the women began their annual donning of summer wear...
Okay....that’s funny...LOL...
If the entire 2,850,000 cubic kilometres (684,000 cu mi) of ice were to melt, it would lead to a global sea level rise of 7.2 m (24 ft).[2] The Greenland Ice Sheet is sometimes referred to under the term inland ice, or its Danish equivalent, indlandsis. It is also sometimes referred to as an ice cap.
During the Ice Age, Sears was unable to sell even one refrigerator.

Of course. Before they changed the name, EVERY PREDICTION, 100% OF THEM WAS WRONG FO5 50 YEARS.
Rather THAN CONFESS THAT THEY WERE JUST MAKING S**T UP TO GET TAXPAYER MONEY AND CONTROL THE GULLIBLE, THEY JUST CHANGED THE NAME.
Now climate change can be blamed for everything, from sea rise, sea drop, too much CO2, not enough CO2, snow during warm seasons, heat deaths during winters, droughts, flooding, Athlete's foot, dying trees, too many trees, forest fires, mosquitos, too many bees, not enough bees, ad infinitum.
The beauty with total ignorance and uncompromising dedication to control everyone else, is that proving them wrong is literally impossible, and there can never be any form of doom and gloom where the criminals can't figure out how to exploit the ignorance of the average dummy watching "dancing with the stars," "survivor" and "Entertainment Tonight"
And of course, the perfect all purpose imbecility magnet, "Playing with myself and my cell phone..."
Strangely, functional retard groups can't learn a trade, become literate verbally or in writing, and get a job and pay taxes, but can get a telephone to entertain them 24/7/365, and produce an endless string of little bastards...; generations on welfare forever!
How about Restore insane asylums? I would rather pay to keep them locked up than try to argue with the ignorant insane whose solution is always violence against those who disagree.
That combination of eternal anger and total ignorance is always a lethal combination for someone.
I'd rater it be the nut cases.
Go to Sedona Arizona, those red mountains were under water, that's how they formed.
I didn’t say it was melting at all. I just said IF it were to melt.
It’s one giant tax scam that has millions terrified and brainwashed.
The horizontal cuts into the surface of the cliffs represent water levels over the past eons…….
The Grand Canyon
Again, notice the horizontal cuts in the surface of the cliffs. They too represent the varying water levels of the canyon over the eons…..
So how do the so called climate experts explain these obviously naturally occurring phenomenon that involves literally thousands of feet of disappearing water levels in the case of the Grand Canyon?
I wasn't implying that you did...........Sorry if you interpreted it that way.....
Hmmm.
All this time I have been convinced that the Western States' role in the catastrophes was the break in the ice dam holding back Lake Missoula between 15,000 and 13,000 years ago.
Whether the meteor strike and the plains "lake" played a part may have been many millennia apart.

Hmmm. Greenland...I wonder why they named it that...
