He took a research position at Pitt's School of Medicine after being turned down from other schools because he was Jewish.

Now, I'm guessing that the point behind your post above might be that scientific research funded through private sources is less suspect or more trustworthy than scientific research funded or subsidized in whole or in part by governmental sources?

But it is almost two miles thick in some places. The sea level would rise drastically, ocean currents altered, and the sea awash in icebergs.

hippiechick wrote:Greenland is Melting, LiterallyAUGUST 8, 2012 This is some scary stuff. According to NASA analysis of recent satellite readings, in just four days, nearly all of Greenland’s surface ice melted. ![](http://www.environmental-action.org/sites/default/files/images/greenlandmelt.jpeg)
In a normal summer, 40 percent of Greenland’s landmass is covered by ice as the ice sheet shrinks by about half during the hottest months of the year. And on July 8th, things were still looking normal. But just four days later, 97 percent of Greenland’s icy blanket was thawing out, a record amount of melting in a record amount of time. “The discovery was so severe, researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California analyzing the satellite data thought it was a mistake. The space agency has monitored Greenland’s annual ice melt for 30 years, and has never recorded anything like this before.” As the U.S. suffered through a triple-digit heat wave, on July 11 and 12, Greenland was experiencing it’s own heat wave, with temperatures reaching a degree or two above freezing — which in the arctic, is utterly catastrophic. Not since 1889 has Greenland experienced such a melting event. Whether Global Warming caused the rapid melt or this is a natural event is still up for debate. Lets hope for the sake of Greenland and our entire planet, that this was an isolated event. Despite the mounting evidence of global warming, including Greenland melting in just four days — many of our elected leaders still refuse to admit that global warming is real, let alone do anything about it. Click here to sign our petiton demanding elected officials take this issue seriously. Because if we don't act soon, Greenland will just be the beginning. The wrong right is already shrugging loudly. Even with 3/4's of the US in drought and farmers dropping like flies. It's amazing how blind a political agenda and blatant stupidity can make some "thinking" apes.

edit, and if we properly "invest" we could solve some of our economic issues to boot! Of course. "Mother Nature " is the agency for change, not the victim, "we" are.. I think we caused it (planetary crisis) and a disaster of epic proportions is imminent as measured in a few decades, not centuries. If we stopped all pollution today (unrealistic to an inconceivable degree), the atmosphere is still overloaded. We have passed the tipping point. The economic advantages, whatever they may be, will be for the survivors. "Mother Nature", our Planet will certainly make a correcting mechanism to regain the equilibrium. I doubt we will like the method very much.. I am pessimistic that technology of any type can reverse, or even much mitigate, this outcome. I guess this is one benefit of being older....I may not be around to suffer through it.

To me, it's a no brainer to think that dumping trillions of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere annually over a couple of centuries won't have significant consequences. Add to that all the other insults to which we have subjected our only planet and you have an inevitable future disaster.
