An impressive time lapse video from NASA on Arctic ice over the last 30 years

The sane know they can't rewrite science.

The science is sound, but the media and pundits lie about what the science actually says.

Well, for starters, lots of the guys who write papers in the journals you allegedly read.

You'd think you would know that...

Sorry.

I don't see anything "impressive" about it. I have watched several similar videos from the NASA site. Now they have an impressive collection! But to start a thread like this, with material that isn't unique...

Well, I guess you are impressed easily.

Please note, I didn't say the material was inaccurate. Just that it was not impressive.

Again, we have seen it before.

I think this manner of visualization is neat. If you don't care, move the **** on.

It's nothing new. NASA has had such videos on their site for years!
 
[h=2]Climate Change causes more snow and ice on Greenland[/h]
Right now, the hottest year ever appears to be causing an extra 4 billion tons a day or so of frozen stuff on Greenland.
Thanks to Patrick Moore, @EcoSenseNow, who tweeted: “Holy Shomoly, look what’s going down on Greenland. Ice World” after Richard Cowley posted the DMI link.
Top: The total daily contribution to the surface mass balance from the entire ice sheet (blue line, Gt/day). Bottom: The accumulated surface mass balance from September 1st to now (blue line, Gt) and the season 2011-12 (red) which had very high summer melt in Greenland. For comparison, the mean curve from the period 1990-2013 is shown (dark grey). The same calendar day in each of the 24 years (in the period 1990-2013) will have its own value. These differences from year to year are illustrated by the light grey band. For each calendar day, however, the lowest and highest values of the 24 years have been left out.

Over the last decade the Greenland Ice Sheet may have been losing 200Gt per year, but evidently, this winter it’s making some of that back. The Danish Climate Centre describes the graph:
