While pondering the meaning of just how fast Greenland’s ice is melting and what it means for the climate, recall that in July of 1942 a flight of US aircraft being ferried to England for use in the war had to make a forced landing on Greenland.
Some 50 years later one of these aircraft was recovered. It was BURIED IN 268 FEET OF ICE. No, it hadn’t sunk, that was how much had accumulated. Even a graduate of public schools in the US can figure out that much ice would have to melt to take us back to the level it was back in 1942.

This magma-made meltdown must be mitigated, stopped and reversed. Can't we throw
the ultra-cool Al Gore (and the ice-cold Hillary Clinton) down a volcano tube somewhere?
Sure, I know a lot of Nobel, Oscar and Emmy award-deciders might object, but look on
the brighter side: This way they could get rid of their embarrassment once and for all. .

We knew that Karl Rove could make hurricanes change course, but who would have suspected that he could cause a thinning of the earth’s crust? What a guy!

I can guarantee this will not be in the MSM.

Natural causes for the melting of polar ice? How DARE!!! this scientist (if he really is a scientist and not just some Bush-Cheney plant) mention that non-human i.e. natural causes might be causing warming in the northern latitudes. As we all know after listening to reputable doomists natural effects have absolutely nothing to do with warming the planet exactly as they had nothing to do with melting the two mile high ice sheets twelve thousand years ago. This heretic er scientist must be stricken down.

Nothing new ~ if more ice flows off Greenland into the sea, it shows up as ice burgs in the North Atlantic. Probability ends up distributing some of them further South than before.
Or, more sea ice can form

Cool! Soon we may be able to farm Greenland!
Again!

I'm starting a corporation to manage the exchange of "magma offsets".
Who's in with me?

It could be that there’s a volcano down there, he said
HAHAHHAA.
It’s not a volcano until it comes ‘up here’.

They brought the fuselage to the air show at Peachtree DeKalb Airport, where my dad used to keep his plane.
Pat Epps, who owns Epps Aviation, helped fund the recovery operation.

Been there, done that, went home. That they did during the mini-ice age from roughly 1150 to 1550, when the earth begin to warm again. Must have been all the flatulence from the corpulent Tudor family which caused it.

I don't have the link but iirc it was about a mine located in the Alps, tools and all, wich had become covered by a glacier.

haha, I’m picturing Bush, Cheney and Rove in parkas, tunneling under the ice, using jackhammers to chip through to the magma and snickering

The algore deciples will say that the oil we are taking is the earth’s sunscreen. We took the sunscreen away and gave Mother Earth a sunburn! We thought it was a feaver, but Bush was hiding the fact that it was sunburn.

Sadly they’re not embarrassed.
