Greenland's Massive Ice Melt Wasn't Supposed To Happen Until 2070

Scott Snowden Contributor Science

Last week, the world received yet another stark reminder of what's yet to come as temperatures at the highest point of the Greenland ice sheet rose above freezing and melted the snow there for the first time since July 2012 and perhaps only the third time in the last 700 years. The glacier-covered island lost 12.5 billion tons of ice in one day.

As climate scientist Martin Stendel points out, that's enough to cover all of Florida with almost five inches of water. Or, in metric units, enough to cover Germany with almost 7cm of water. Or Denmark with half a meter of water.

Researchers with the Danish Meteorological Institute making their way over meltwater topping sea ice in northwest Greenland

The ice sheet that covers Greenland is about the same size as the state of Alaska and contains enough ice to raise sea level across the globe by more than 20 feet. Every year, Greenland gains ice during the winter from the accumulation of compacted snow and then during the summer months, it loses ice from melt water and icebergs that calve into the ocean.

A particularly warm, dry spring this year left only a thin covering of snow over exposed glacial ice. The planet has just had it's warmest June on record, followed by the warmest July on record, consequently ice everywhere has been melting, from the glaciers of Greenland to the Himalayas. Thankfully, summer is coming to a close in the northern hemisphere.

"We will occasionally see a little bit of melt occurring well into the fall season, but not anything that has a large impact on the annual mass loss," Thomas L. Mote, research professor of Geography and Atmospheric Science at the University of Georgia, told Forbes.

However, this level of ice melt wasn't supposed to happen for another 50 years.

"We're seeing changes in Greenland that – when you look at the climate models – are not forecast for, in many cases, for many years to come. We understand why in some cases – we understand that the models don't always capture some phenomena like clouds that are very important in the amount of energy that reaches the ice and therefore the amount of ice melt.

THE GREAT SIBERIAN METHANE COVER UP - I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT EXTENSIVELY ON THIS SITE! THE IPCC, AND NONE OF THE MAJOR "CLIMATE SCIENCE" GROUPS FACTOR IN SIBERIAN AND ARCTIC METHANE, AND EVEN WHEN THEY DO, AS IS THE CASE WITH THE IPCC, THEY ONLY US A 24 GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL (GWP) FOR METHANE. 

WIKIPEDIA HAS THE GWP FOR METHANE AS 86 FOR THE MOST RELEVANT TIME PERIOD - 20 YEARS - BASED ON THE IDEA THAT - "THE CLATHRATE GUN HAS FIRED!" RUNAWAY SIBERIAN METHANE RELEASE IS OCCURRING NOW! AND - WILL - EXPLODE BY 2025, THREE YEARS AFTER THE ARCTIC BECOMES A "BLUE OCEAN!" 2022 AT THE LATEST!

EVEN THE 100 YEAR GWP FOR METHANE THEY HAVE AS 34, MUCH HIGHER THAN THE 24 THE IPCC USES - FOR WHAT METHANE RELEASES!? OUT OF YOUR HOUSE?! TRUMP'S MOUTH AND BEHIND?! . . . .

. . . . CERTAINLY - NOT - FOR THE - CURRENTLY OCCURRING - MASSIVE SIBERIAN AND ARCTIC METHANE RELEASES AT VARIOUS TIMES OF THE YEAR - SOON - CONSTANTLY!

There are things that the models don't do necessarily as well as we would like and so we understand that behavior and we understand why some quantum models are actually under-predicting, and I should say likely under-predicting the mass loss going forward," Mote says.

"We've had a very significant mass loss since 2000. I think one of the things would be particularly alarming is seeing the same kinds of things in Antarctica. For as much ice as there is in Greenland, there's 10 times as much in Antarctica. We're certainly seeing, starting to see signs of more mass loss from Antarctica and I think that would be the, as concerning as Greenland is, Antarctica would even be more alarming," Mote says.
​
Bernie Sanders has said that a response to climate change should parallel the overnight, nationwide, transformation that took place after Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941. And he's absolutely right, America has to go to war against climate change; industry must reinvent itself and the attitude and mentality of every person in the country has to change, from every plumber and police officer all the way to the president.

AS I MENTIONED IN MY PRIOR POST, I CAN SEE BY BERNIE'S NEW FOUND COMMITMENT TO - ABRUPT CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION AND MANAGEMENT - AND RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT - THAT HE HAS BEEN READING MY POSTS! BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BEEF UP YOUR PLAN - PUN INTENDED - - MOO MOO - - YOU SHOULD DO BOTH "THE SUMMIT TO SAVE OUR SPECIES," AND "ONE LOVE: ABRUPT CLIMATE CHANGE AND NORDIC PRISON COMMUNITIES FOR A HUMANE AND PEACEFUL ENDING!"

"Planning for the long-term implications of climate change today is as important as planning for a major Pacific conflict was in the last century," writes Cmdr Timothy McGeehan, for the US Naval Institute.

The problem few people seem to realize is, even if this did happen – overnight – the momentum is too great. The human race is a passenger in the car of climate change that's hydroplaning to the cliff edge of an environmental catastrophe.

Richard Engel, chief foreign correspondent for NBC recently said, when talking about glaciers melting in Iceland, "Even if we did all the things that are proposed right now, the inertia of what we've done so far is already too much and all the [Icelandic] glaciers there are all going to go."

Scientists have warned we must limit global temperature rise to 1.5ºC to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. That's compared to the temperatures in 1850-1900, before widespread industrialization. The earth has already warmed about 1ºC since then. If global warming continues at today's rate, temperatures may rise by between 3 to 5ºC by the end of the century.

I ARGUE THAT WE WILL SEE 6 F BY 2030! "SIX DEGREES - WILL - CHANGE THE WORLD!" SEE THE DOCUMENTARY FOR JUST A FEW IMPACTS! I AGREE WITH DR. GUY MCPHERSON, THE RISE IN GLOBAL MEAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES, GMAT, FROM THE 1700-1750 - LEGITIMAE PRE-INDUSTRIAL PRE-FOSSIL FUEL USE DATE - IS AROUND 1.75 C! SEE SAM CARANA ON - THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT GMAT RISE BY 2026. MY PRIMARY CRITIQUE IS THAT SAM DOES NOT GIVE "HOT STUFF," "RUNAWAY SIBERIAN AND ARCTIC METHANE" HER CREDIT. WHICH I POINT TO THE STUDY TITLED "METHANE HYDRATES: KILLER CAUSE OF THE EARTH'S GREATEST MASS EXTINCTION" AS EVIDENCE OF "HOT STUFF'S" AMAZING KILLING POWER!

Back in May, a startling report was published by the National Academy of Science that suggests sea levels may rise much faster than previously estimated due to the accelerating melting of ice sheets in both Greenland and Antarctica. The study warns that sea levels could rise more than two meters (6.6 feet) by the end of this century if emissions continue unchecked, drowning major cities like London and Hamburg and displacing up to 187 million people worldwide.

MY GUESSTIMATE: 6-10 FEET OF SEA LEVEL RISE, AND 6 -8 F BY 2030! THEN 50-70 FEET, AND 10-20 F BY 2050; ULTIMATELY - 300-400 FOOT THEORETICAL MAXIMUM, UP BY MORE THAN THE "DRAMATIC LIFE-CHANGING GLOBAL WARMING - GMAT > 34 C - OMG - 93.2 F RISE IN GLOBAL MEAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES -  GMAT - during THE GREAT DYING - THE PERMIAN EXTINCTION!"

THIS IS BASED ON THESE FINDINGS OF: "METHANE HYDRATES: Killer Cause of the Earth's Greatest Mass Extinction

Based on measurements of gases trapped in biogenic and abiogenic calcite, the release of methane (of ∼3–14% of total C stored) from permafrost and shelf sediment methane hydrate is deemed the ultimate source and cause for the dramatic life-changing global warming (GMAT > 34 °C) and oceanic negative-carbon isotope excursion observed at the end Permian. Global warming triggered by the massive release of carbon dioxide may be catastrophic, but the release of methane from hydrate may be apocalyptic. 

GLOBAL WARMING TRIGGERED BY MASSIVE RELEASE OF METHANE FROM HYDRATE - WILL - BE - APOCALYPTIC - BY 2025-2030! WHAT THEY EXPECT BY 2100, I EXPECT BY 2030! WANT TO PLACE ANY BETS!? ALTHOUGH I DO EXPECT TO . . . . 

. . . . "RAISE MY SPIRIT UP TO - MY FATHER, MOTHER AND MAMMA - BY 2025!"

. . . . "BUY YOUR SUCK BAGS - NOW!"

The international researchers predict that in the worst case scenario under which global temperatures increase by 5°C by 2100, sea levels could rise by more than double the upper limit outlined by the UN climate science panel's last major report. Under this extreme-case scenario, about 1.79 million square kilometers (691,120 sq miles) – an area more than three times the size of California – would be lost to the sea.

The United Nations climate panel's last major report in 2013 predicted that sea levels would rise between 52 and 98 cm (20.4 inches and 38.5 inches) by 2100 at the current trajectory. But many experts saw those findings as conservative and scientists are worried that the current models used to predict the influence of massive melting ice sheets have flaws, and fail to capture all of the uncertainties.

If you happen to live near the coast and are wondering how that might affect you, check out the Sea Level Rise Map Viewer published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of Coastal Management.

A rise of six feet would put much of Lower Manhattan under water, particularly the areas closet to both the Hudson and East rivers. But that pales in comparison with poor Miami, New Orleans and other low-lying cities in the Florida panhandle and Gulf of Mexico regions, many of which will simply disappear.

So, what about those emissions? Prof Anders Levermann from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, believesthat we have to expect a sea level rise of over five meters, even if the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement are met. The USA is the biggest oil consuming country and accounts for nearly 20% of the world’s total oil consumption per day. Under President Trump, it's also the only country in the world not to agree to the Paris Agreement on climate change mitigation. The US military alone generates a daily carbon footprint equal to Portugal, so it's highly unlikely those global targets will be met.
