This is confirmation there is global warming that is causing huge shifts in Earth's climate.
In case the word 'confirmation' is alien, then the word PROOF should mean something!
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 9 (UPI) -- A 2010 spike (click here) in the melting of ice cover in Greenland caused a large part of the island's bedrock to lift almost an inch, a U.S. researcher says.
A network of 50 GPS stations measured the uplift as the ice loss was accelerated in southern Greenland by 100 billion tons, Ohio State University researcher Michael Bevis said....
I would not take any of this lightly. Ice sheets, glaciers and ice fields all contribute to a cooler troposphere. As fresh water melts into the North Atlantic the ocean circulations change.
Why Does the Greenland Ice Sheet Matter? (click title to entry - thank you)
The Greenland Ice Sheet blankets 81 percent of Greenland Island. This monstrous ice slab stretches 2,480 kilometers (1,540 miles) long and up to 750 kilometers (465 miles) wide. The ice sheet is so big it would stretch from Key West, Florida, to 100 miles beyond Portland, Maine, covering a swath as wide as from Washington, D.C., to Indianapolis, Indiana. It’s 80 percent as big as the entire United States east of the Mississippi River. It’s not only huge, it’s also thick—an average of 2.3 kilometers (1.6 miles) thick. It contains roughly 8 percent of all of Earth’s fresh water….
