Thanks Red Badger. See the ping post to the Catastrophism list as well.

Thanks Red Badger.
The Greenland ice sheet is melting from below, caused by a high heat flow from the mantle into the lithosphere. This influence is very variable spatially and has its origin in an exceptionally thin lithosphere. Consequently, there is an increased heat flow from the mantle and a complex interplay between this geothermal heating and the Greenland ice sheet.
Weird that the ice sheet managed to get started in the first place --
since that thin lithosphere is nothing new. It's almost as if
glaciation isn't caused by gradualist nonsense processes.

Guam already tipped over due to overpopulation! Remember?

...now AGW is heating up the Earth’s core.YES it's all so clear now! That's why volcanos have been angrier lately and why earthquakes are getting more jittery.
I hereby pledge to do my part: When I use the hundreds of 40/60/75/100W light bulbs I have stored, I won't buy any more.

Who knew they had SUVs in the Earth’s mantle?

Listen to Woody Harrelson, he will tell us first when to panic.

Now they have to figure out how to connect human beings to the heat of the Earth’s mantle.Well, duh! It's the frickin' frackin'!

It may be too late. Overcrowding has already overturned Guam and some islands in the Pacific, according to Rep. Hank Johnson.

I say it’s a byproduct of all those progressives roasting in Hell
LOL it should be getting crowded down there. No doubt an overpopulation crisis.
OH NOES ANOTHER CRISIS!! Overpopulation in Hell!

I liked that character he played, thought it was one of Woody’s best roles...

Woody’s a lefty but a good actor. I really liked him and Kiefer Sutherland in “The Cowboy Way.”

these folks did what climatologists never do - they validated their model against observed facts.
You can trust it, within limits.
