Each year, from early-June to August’s-end, Greenland’s SMB is negative–i.e., the ice sheet is in its summer melt season and loses mass. This year, however, things have played out very differently…

Crucial to the survival of a glacier is its surface mass balance (SMB)–the difference between accumulation and ablation (sublimation and melting). Changes in SMB control a glacier’s long-term behavior, and are its most sensitive climate indicators (wikipedia.org).

So far this season, these climate indicators have told a rather different story to one portrayed by our propagandizing western media. Greenland didn’t actually start “melting” until mid/late-June, and back in early-June –when the melt-season should have kicked-in– the ice sheet was in instead registering never-before-seen GAINS:

Overall, the remainder of June and all of July continued the trend of lower-than-average losses across the ice sheet. And today, as we enter the second week of August, Greenland’s SMB has actually touched “0” and looks set to turn positive almost a full month ahead of schedule:

In spite of this “good news”, activist-scientists and their MSM lapdogs have been upping their obfuscating game of late, painting the collapse of a tiny 190 square kilometres ice shelf in northern Canada (Milne) as a catastrophe for all mankind. However, what these frauds fail to mention is the anomalously-low summer melt occurring at the world’s largest island. Greenland‘s ice sheet covers a whopping 1.7 million square kilometres, and so gains/lower-than-average-melt here EASILY offset Milne’s comparatively paltry losses.
