[SC] Greenland Melt

Lots of good stuff in here, but one important point is that the presence of biological material like algae means the ice reflects less light, absorbs more heat, and thus melts faster. What kills me is that conservative news sites reporting on some of the same source material decided it meant that everything is normal.

Other interesting news in this category: the glacier flow that just radically changed from feeding one river to feeding another, almost certainly not happening without human-caused climate change. And the guy whose study on human migration in the US is in the news again (?). Where are all these people on the coasts going to go? Why isn't this a commonly-studied problem we are already planning for? Maybe they can go to Atlanta with the good interstates and transportation system.
