The same government force will suppress opportunities or research that contradicts the goal as needed. Scientists with the OMG mission recently returned to Greenland for another series of aerial surveys. Following the study’s publication, additional analyses show Jakobshavn grew thicker by 22 and 33 yards (20 to 30 meters) each year from 2016 to 2019. NASA research shows that Jakobshavn Glacier, which has been Greenland's fastest-flowing and fastest-thinning glacier for the last 20 years, has made an unexpected about-face. (Part of the How to Talk to a Global Warming Skeptic guide) Objection: A few glaciers receding today is not proof of global warming. Hi Tony. Study authors and outside scientists think this is temporary. A major Greenland glacier that was one of the fastest-shrinking ice and snow masses on Earth is growing again, a NASA study has found. Christiaan says: July 1, 2019 at 5:33 pm . Scientists with the OMG mission, however, are keen to better understand the influence of ocean currents and temperatures on coastal glaciers. When the NAO flips again, the glacier will most likely resume accelerating and thinning, as warm waters return to continue melting it from beneath. Glaciers appear to be growing, not melting in recent years at Glacier National Park. The best you can do is vapid nonsense like this from liberal Climate Cult doyen like Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Climate shock: 90 percent of the world’s glaciers are GROWING. 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. Early on in Global Warming Hysteria ‘disappearing glaciers’ was a pivotal talking point in the “End is Near” (government can prevent it) narrative. Melting of Greenland's glaciers contributes to sea-level rise, 2,3,4 and is expected to fuel global warming. Jakobshavn is now flowing more slowly, thickening, and advancing toward the ocean instead of retreating farther inland. NASA's Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) project has revealed Greenland’s Jakobshavn Glacier, the island’s biggest, is actually growing, at least at its edge. Satellite data … This is true for the other seven Alaskan glaciers that are growing and advancing too – in addition to large accumulation zones, all eight calve into the sea over shallow submarine moraines and sit above long fjords. A new NASA study, released on Friday, admits that ice is accumulating in Antarctica. Copyright © 2020 United Press International, Inc. All Rights Reserved. "Their findings -- especially about how quickly the ice responds -- will be important to projecting sea level rise in both the near and distant future. NASA studies Greenland to determine how much of it is melting, Melting Antarctic glacier could increase global sea levels 8 feet, Antarctica is shedding six times more ice mass than it was 40 years ago. Jakobshavn has spent decades in retreat—that is, until scientists observed an unexpected advance between 2016 and 2017. But the latest research shows that Jakobshavn, once the fastest-melting glacier on Earth, is now growing. Guaranteed ‘investment’ isn’t the only finger on this scale. Several factors influence a glacier's melting rates, including air temperature and its interior structure. New data collected in March 2019 confirm that the glacier has grown for the third year in a row, and scientists attribute the change to cool ocean waters. "The OMG mission deployed new technologies that allowed us to observe a natural experiment, much as we would do in a laboratory, where variations in ocean temperatures were used to control the flow of a glacier," said NASA scientist Tom Wagner. The Jakobshavn glacier, located in Greenland, began thinning around 2012 to nearly 130 feet annually. States that advocate it are using force to confiscate (taxes) and redirect billions (grants and loans) toward research and business concerns that promote the advance their political agenda. When it flips again, Jakobshavn will likely begin thinning and receding again. Key Facts. Though Jakobshavn is still losing more ice than it’s gaining snow pack — making it a contributor to sea level rise — the glacier is no longer receding or thinning. Jakobshavn Glacier drains 6.5% of the Greenland ice sheet and produces around 10% of all Greenland icebergs.Some 35 billion tonnes of icebergs calve off and pass out of the fjord every year. The following table shows the mass balance of individual glaciers over 2002 and 2003. Scientists reacted with surprise, noting that they grew accustomed to the glacier receding. Folks committed to socialist politics and even one-world government where rights are handed out like grants to people who say and do what the state wants said and done. According to a new report, the Jakobshavn glacier “around 2012 was retreating about 1.8 miles and thinning … In the summer of 2012, Jakobshavn accelerated to speeds not seen before, surging at a rate of 17 kilometers (10 miles) per year. But they warn it's only temporary. Not of who can win but of how well you can lose. Jakobshavn Glacier produces around 10% of all Greenland icebergs; that's around 4 billion tons of ice entering the sea. But it started growing again at about the same rate in the past two years, according to a study in Monday’s Nature Geoscience. ", After receding for 20 years, Greenland's Jakobshavn Glacier is once again advancing toward the ocean. in other words that is 112,000,000,000 tons. What is meant by land ice? . Reply. The Jakobshavn glacier around 2012 was retreating about 1.8 miles and thinning nearly 130 feet annually. What if we remove the government-money influence? (NASA via AP) The Jakobshavn glacier, located in Greenland, began thinning around 2012 to nearly 130 feet annually. Not that I can find. Redistribution of wealth from people who create it to the State and its experts who can’t be proven wrong. It’s … 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. Glaciers growing in Spain (Pyrinees) 10 Jan 11 - El glaciar del Infierno (glacier of Hell) has advanced. Is there a Vegas-Line on Sea ice, glaciers, and climate doom? Neither Tyson nor his Climate “experts” would ever make a bet. Land Ice: Why is it receding in some places but not in others and what are the projected impacts? "And seeing the oceans have such a huge impact on the glaciers is bad news for Greenland's ice sheet.". The Jakobshavn Isbrae glacier, also known as Sermeq Kujalleq, is located on the west coast of Greenland at Latitude 69 degrees N. The ice front, where the glacier calves into the sea, receded more than 40 km between 1850 and 2010. The Jakobshavn glacier, located in Greenland, began thinning around 2012 to nearly 130 feet annually. They dance to the tune of the Federal Grant Fiddler. It’s now growing again at about the same rate in the past two years, a study in Nature Geoscience noted. Located on the west coast of Greenland, Jakobshavn Isbræ is one of the most rapidly shrinking glaciers in the world. "We had pretty much assumed that Jakobshavn would just keep going on as it had over the last 20 years.". Hubbard Glacier’s catchment basin is in the Saint Elias Mountains and has a big accumulation area (95% of the glacier as a whole) which allows the terminus to advance as long as the accumulation areas (places where snow and ice are added) stay larger than … NASA recently showed that the glacier has been growing as of recent, believe it or not. According to a new report, the Jakobshavn glacier “around 2012 was retreating about 1.8 miles and thinning nearly 130 feet annually,†The Associated Press reported. But according to new data collected by NASA scientists, the glacier is growing again. Study authors and outside scientists think this is temporary. It has been receding for years, and the losses were accelerating, but then it astonished the scientists. The NAO pattern reverses every five to 20 years. Scientists reacted with surprise, noting that they grew accustomed to the glacier receding. As I recently reported in my April 22 column, Jakobshavn — the previously fastest-flowing, fastest-thinning glacier on Greenland’s west coast — has reversed course as well. Allow the free market, reacting to consumer needs and demands, and even shoddy science, to choose what and where to invest in solving this or any problem? Nine zeroes! Jakobshavn Glacier Danish: Jakobshavn Isbræ, also known as Ilulissat Glacier Greenlandic: Sermeq Kujalleq is a large outlet glacier in West Greenland.It is located near the Greenlandic town of Ilulissat (colonial name in Danish: Jakobshavn) and ends at the sea in the Ilulissat Icefjord.. Jakobshavn Glacier drains 6.5% of the Greenland ice sheet and produces around 10% of all Greenland icebergs. Jakobshavn’s changes are temporary. But it started growing again at about the same rate in the past two years, according to a study in Monday’s Nature Geoscience. In 2017 he proposed a challenge. But according to new data collected by NASA scientists, the glacier is growing again. Six years ago, the Jakobshavn glacier was retreating about 1.8 miles and thinning nearly 130 feet annually but it started growing again at about the … The glacier Jakobshavn, in Greenland, growing thicker Details Published: 29 March 2019 A recent discovery made by the scientists at NASA about Greenland´s fastest-flowing and fastest-thinning glacier actually growing thicker took the scientists by surprise. It’s also flowing more slowly. New NASA data shows that Jakobshavn Glacier — Greenland's fastest-moving and fastest-thinning glacier for most of the 2000s — grew from 2018 into 2019, marking three consecutive years of growth. In an age when so many glaciers are melting, Alaska's Hubbard Glacier is doing the opposite. For the casual reader, appinsys is well-known to be a site of active disinformation on matters related to climate and climate change. While NASA also indicated that the Jakobshavn Glacier has been losing more mass than it’s been putting on as a result of its ice melting faster than snow can pack on top of it, it’s not thinning or receding. Since the 1980s, waters have been growing warmer around Baffin Bay, where the glacier meets the sea. Jakobshavn is Greenland’s fastest-moving glacier, and the flow rate is variable with spurts of speed in the summer and additional variation from year to year. In addition to growing toward the ocean, the glacier was found to be slowing and thickening. Growing is now going. Again, these eight glaciers are the unusual ones. Jakobshavn Glacier in western Greenland is notorious for being the world’s fastest-moving glacier. More is less, as with the poles. Jakobshavn is a big actor in the planet's future and Greenland's stability — a land that holds enough ice to raise sea levels by 23 feet.That's because Jakobshavn isn't a normal glacier. 15,16 The speed at which Jakobshavn Isbræ glacier is retreating doubled from 1996 to 2005. But glaciers are active—flowing and shifting, advancing and retreating. "At first we didn't believe it," JPL glaciologist Ala Khazendar said in a news release. Jakobshavn is now thickening and advancing toward the ocean. Nick Stokes stepped in it big time when he implied otherwise. That trace gas you exhale that makes every green thing grow is destroying the planet, and the only solution is more what? Folks committed to socialist politics and even one-world government where rights are handed out like grants to people who say and do what the state wants. Jakobshavn Glacier in western Greenland is notorious for being the world’s fastest-moving glacier. It’s headed toward the ocean and getting a lot thicker. NASA says the Jakobshavn glacier, the fastest-flowing in Greenland, is growing again, a surprise to researchers. Scientists reacted with surprise, noting that they grew accustomed to the glacier receding. The research was published in the journal Nature Geoscience this week. It made the iceberg that “sank the titanic”. Melting glaciers such as Jakobshavn Isbræ have begun to expose rock, soil, and ocean waters, which in turn causes further melting, as those darker surfaces absorb more heat.
