Lakes in Greenland Completely Drain in Just Weeks

Hmm how very boring

Brush your teeth

Sinkhole. Just like in Russia.
Isn't Greenland completely frozen over anyway?

You pulled the plug, didn't you?

Interesting, interesting.....

From your link
'they determined that the lake was drained and filled twice since 2012 and lost its water at a rate of 57,000 gallons (215 cubic meters) per second, or one 50-foot-long swimming pool per second'

Yeah, that's a lot very quickly.

Greenland is and has been warming. There is so much misinformation in the media these days about the science associated with climate, most laypeople are clueless.

I'm a libertarian and my views on this issue are very unpopular with most of my fellow libertarians (as well as most conservatives and republicans). But I'm also a scientist and have studied the facts without bias. THE EARTH IS WARMING. It's undisputed fact among real scientists. What is still uncertain is if the warming is influenced by man, and if so, to what degree. The evidence strongly suggests it is influenced by man.

Polar regions are warming faster than temperate and tropical regions. Much faster in some cases. Some parts of the arctic are almost 10 degrees warmer, on average, than just a few decades ago. Put aside the political bickering and understand that if this continues, it will ultimately be catastrophic for life on earth as we know it.

One counter argument I hear all the time from the uninformed is "the earth's average temperature is always changing -- there are cycles of cooling and warming." Yes, of course this is true. But the situation is different now because of the RATE of warming. From ice cores and other measurements, we know the rate of change of earth's temperatures over geological time. The rate the warming is occurring now is unprecedented -- it is many times faster than any previous warming period. What this translates to for living organisms is less time to evolve and/or adapt to the resultant changes. Ultimately, for many plant and animal species, this will simply lead to extinction because evolution only occurs so fast.

The lake has been there for a whole 40 years?

:inIreland:

holy fuck balls.

Its less than nothing. The weight of all that ice on Greenland for 100's of thousands of years has termed Greenland into a giant bathtub. The center of that bathtub is well below sea level and its still going lower. That caused a reaction at the coast to rise up into a coastal ring of high mountains. The Greenland glaciers could turn into boiling water and it wouldn't empty into the Atlantic

funny!

"If enough water is pouring down into the Greenland Ice Sheet for us to see the same sub-glacial lake empty and re-fill itself over and over, then there must be so much latent heat being released under the ice that we’d have to expect it to change the large-scale behavior of the ice sheet."

Bullshit! If, lol.

Maybe they are experiencing a low tide, high tide thing. Obviously slower than the norm for most but none the less?

They do live on a sheet of ice that will bob up and down with ocean tides.

Ice sheet bobs up and down, so will water inland.

EDIT: I know there is land under there, but does not change the sheet of ice they are on.

Maybe Earth wobble from quakes changed things?

Em likes to suck Al Gores cock

you are at best a charlatan. stop lying.

The fucking place is nothing but porous volcanic rock and Ice sheets makes total sense.

they care not for basic reasoning, they have an agenda to push.

Lmao, they blame climate change and say it is bad for Greenland. For all they know it has always done that, they only noticed it bc of satellite high resolution technology. The scientists are worse the the religiously fervent at inventing things just to have an answer. Why are humans so afraid to admit as a group that they do not know. That or they are shillin.

This chart begs to differ.

On the other end of the globe, how about that Piri Reis map, drawn on the skin of a gazelle, it shows the coast of Anarctica under the ice. Appears this is not the first time ice has melted and refrozen on a large scale on earth. (and the humans are kinda like cockroaches, they always seem to pull through somehow)

With a shotgun.

Some are more cockroach-like than others.

It's China's fault- lets fine them and make the US debt free- don't CARBON TAX us!!!!

Someone's straw is going all the way, all the way, all the way over and drinks someone's milkshake.

You gave me a good laugh!

Permafrost plugging the hole finally melted?

I watched this fantastic documentary Extreme Ice on PBS which explains the lake draining in Greenland, you can watch it here, [link to www.pbs.org]
