The Greenland Ice meander has to be checked. The movement of glaciers in the north Atlantic needs to be assessed. People live below (in elevation) the glaciers and there needs to be concern for the people.

I might bring attention to the north Atlantic in the upper right corner of the satellite image below. The white streak across the image is melted ice from Greenland and Iceland that has sublimed into water vapor. I am concerned with such ice melt and how the people of those two island countries are doing. I am concerned about flooding.

This is SUDDEN climate change. This is RAPID climate change. The Greenland Ice has to be assessed for "meander" now.

There is a inverted cyclonic vortex flow over the north Atlantic. That is what is pulling the water vapor from Greenland and Iceland down to lower latitudes. There is a heat transfer system offshore of North America. It has a water vapor circulation center in the Caribbean Sea. Literally, the heat laden water vapor from the Caribbean Sea is reaching the Arctic Circle to melt the Greenland and Iceland glaciers. That heat transfer system has been there for the past two days. It had a sibling off the west coast of North America, which the remnants are still visible. The heat transfer is rapid and now the ice from Greenland and Iceland is melting.

Scientists never promised a walk down the primrose path with the climate crisis. They clearly and repeatedly have said RAPID climate change. This is not a natural cycle, it is due to excess greenhouse gases from anthropogenic emissions.

Politicians in the USA just don't listen. They are damn fools.

Oddly,  an article from the New York Times today. The Pope would say it is God speaking to the masses for the degree of coincidence to this new method by Earth to cool down. I don't know about god, but, I am also not as optimistic about the Antarctica glaciers being stable 'enough' for a couple hundred years.:

Two of the frozen continent’s fastest-moving glaciers (click here) are shedding an increasing amount of ice into the Amundsen Sea each year.

The Pine Island and Thwaites glaciers are among the most critical in the world. They are currently holding back ice that, if melted, would raise the world’s oceans by nearly four feet over centuries, an amount that would put many coastal cities underwater....

The ice caps and glaciers have to be monitored for stability through an understanding of movement and mass balance. There can be no shortcuts, it is a matter of public safety. Rising sea levels, unstable ice sheets and plunging into the oceans or seas with potentially catastrophic outcomes is essential to monitor and report. I don't care if it doesn't conveniently fit someone's lousy political agenda.
