Is There Global Cooling?
(the antithesis of a warming world?)
Is There Global Warming?
Welcome........
I am not a scientist and do not pretend to be. But, I have been watching the issue of climate change now for two decades and have found it is not what many say it is. Here are a collection of articles, sources, and information. Use it if you like. Hopefully it will encourage you to seek your own truth since this is one of the great issues of our time.

Greenland has ten percent of the world's land ice. Antarctica has most of the remainder.

The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) is considered the global expert in Greenland ice measurement. Use their website to track Greenland ice. Through April 2018 the ice growth is greater than average. link
Greenland ice cores reveal that temperatures there were often warmer than today in the prior 10,000 years. link

In ‘theory’ Greenland could melt, since there is observed summer melting. It cannot calve (slide into) into the sea because Greenland is bowl shaped. At the observed average annual ice mass loss of the past ~2.5 decades (from 1990) Greenland would theoretically take 27000 years to melt. At the ice mass loss rate since 2000, it would only take 14000 years and would increase seal level rise by a distinctly unalarming ~0.5mm/yr. In reality, given Greenland’s latitude and central ice sheet elevation, melting is impossible—as ice cores reaching back to the Eemian prove. Ice cores reveal Greenland had temperatures as much as 8 Deg C warmer than today in the prior 10,000 years and the ice there did not melt.
99% of global ice is located in Antarctica and Greenland. If they both melted entirely sea level would rise 200’. The ice shelves make up one-half percent of global ice, if they melted entirely sea level would rise 14 inches. Sea ice comprises 6% of global ice, they average 6 feet in thickness, if they melted entirely sea level would rise four inches. If the 200,000 temperate zone global glaciers melted entirely, sea level would rise two feet. Antarctic ice is as much as three miles thick, Greenland one mile. For Antarctic ice to melt, temperatures must rise at least 54 degrees F.
