This is more evidence that the Greenland ice sheet has reached a tipping point. The snowfall is known as "recharge" is now in less abundance than the melting of the ice.
THE SCIENCE behind this latest evidence is called the calculation of "mass balance." Glaciologists risk their lives to enter ice fields of many kinds to bring back information about such measurements BECAUSE THEY ARE IMPORTANT!
There is no room for denial here. The only reason denial of this evidence occurs is because of huge government corruption and playing election footsies with the petroleum industry. There is no other reason.
THIS IS EVIDENCE AND NOW IT IS PERMANENT EVIDENCE OF RAPID CLIMATE CHANGE THAT IS DESTROYING THIS PLANET'S BIOMES.
You got that yet? The year 2030 is what the International Panel on Climate Change is stating as a tipping point that cannot be ignored.
YOU BETTER GET IT RIGHT!

- Even if global warming were to stop today, the ice sheet would continue shrinking.
- Scientists analyzed 40 years of satellite data from more than 200 large glaciers draining into the ocean.
In fact, glaciers on the island have shrunk so much that even if global warming were to stop today, the ice sheet would continue shrinking, a new study suggests.
"Glacier retreat has knocked the dynamics of the whole ice sheet into a constant state of loss," study co-author Ian Howat, an earth scientist from Ohio State University, said in a statement. "Even if the climate were to stay the same or even get a little colder, the ice sheet would still be losing mass."
This "tipping point" means the snowfall that replenishes the ice sheet each year cannot keep up with the ice that is flowing into the ocean from melting glaciers....
