    It’s propaganda. Yes, ice melts in the summer and accumulates in the winter. Just search climate science fraud. These people write articles using “scientific” sounding words, using a mixture dubious methods, and opinion while omitting data that doesn’t fit their models. Then they just cite each other work, creating a feedback loop. They are also highly funded by dubious donors.

    They are at best realist when it comes to interpret the state of climate in regards to anticipation based on science. Politically all these climate scientists suck, and are part of the problem. Since they use lefty language like blaming "capitalism" and support " historic climate justice". Realistically we can only really get started when the poor countries accept that they will stay poor and mass immigration into the developed world will be suppressed.

    What you are describing is another method of Swiss Cheesification of Greenland Ice. One thing that should be worrying is the sudden drop in air temperature with this phenomenon. The cold air temperatures cause rapid formation of ice, which expands, and the ice is already brittle. That's why I've added Winter Melt Season to my climate lexicon.

    When fractures emerge, then the area becomes a bit more darker (sunlight goes down to the crack). Also having cracks in the ice allows it to move the ways it did not do earlier. Alternating speeds may fracture ice even further. And the melting area is a bit larger due to crack surface. Having cracks allows water flow deeper in the ice. They may even make large subglacial lakes that may keep warming glacier long times. These ice bounded lakes could lead to even some flooding events. Crack may also fill up with surrounding snow, reducing snow coverage in nearby area, making it darker earlier. There are multitude of cracking related physical feedbacks. And most of them are negative and therefore these cracks leads to more melting.

    Findings that are revealed in this video should be forced in all ice sheet models. Current models are just missing many key elements that mostly accelerates the melting rate. And there are other elements that may make predictions even harder to do. Like atmospheric rivers that may bring loads of ice melting heat with rains in just few days time. Each time ice elevation changes the surface temperature rises (6C per 1 km or for one years more localized change 0,06C per 10m). This means longer melting season with higher temperature maximum. So each melting season that is lower than the yearly gained snow cover, accelerates the melting. Also models often use snow as one layer component that misses the darker surface of the already melted and polluted older ice. There should be at least 2 layer surface, just for this years snowcover and other when it is gone. You may also add factors like melt lakes and darkened surface and so on to the second layer. In this way some of the melting season variables would be corrected. And then there is gravitational changes that alters sea surface. When Greenland melts rapidly, the gravitational pull lessens and the oceans retreats. This means lost sea laying area for sea side grounded ice meaning less melting. And also less uplift for the ice sheet where ever sea comes below the ice. This leads to higher friction and lessens the ice flow toward the sea. Also lower seas means less wave forces that may collapse the ice fronts. All of this this would be a good thing, but on the other side of the world Antarctica melting is accerated for the opposite reasons. And when Antarctica melt hastens that means more sea level rise in Greenland. This balancing act will affect on ice sheet melting rates.

    The way earth cools is by the slowdown of the ocean currents. It is less publicized but critical function of our climate. When you look at earth climate data it is clear there is a feedback pattern that is able to reverse global warming/cooling cycles from into the other. Of course there are more factors at play but even if we simply do nothing and continue on this path eventually we will just be slammed with harsher and more severe cooling period. And boiling off our atmosphere is possible but highly unlikely due to the magnetic field. If we somehow manage to disturb that then boiling off is a possibility. Of course the current eco system will perish way before such event materialize.

    This is not backed by much data, even if "less publicized ". I think the last time it got so hot was in the Carboniferous period when all the trees took over and most of that carbon was locked away as coal or oil and that lowered the atmospheric concentrations of CO2, now we are digging all that up and burning it and presently the carbon cycle doesn't allow CO2 to be locked away like it used to be. It is far more likely that melting permafrost unlocks even more methane and the earth gets hotter for thousands of years. Perhaps after a huge extinction event some of the processes you mention will begin to kick in, but again compared to global warming that data it's pretty iffy

Just look at current land mass. We have 2 almost perfectly split water bodies that are able to circulate the water. Hence the fairly stable climate. The other thing is that almost all other events that occurred before anthropocene were driven by volcanoes,meteorite etc. What do you think is easier to change? 8 billion people or turn around a meteorite or shutdown a volcano? Well we are bound to find out anyhow 😆. There is a crisis for us absolutely but it is only as big as we decide to make it. 😁

    Could there also be an effect related to the difference in Latent heat of H2O from solid to liquid and from liquid to gas (80 VS 540CAL/KG). If, for instance, an atmospheric river flows across the ice, each kg of water that condenses out of the air, releases enough heat to melt over 6 kg of ice.

    Humans were not around and could not have survived when CO2 was 50 times as high as it is now which I seriously doubt anyway. That would be 21,000 ppm which is absurd. As to your other point CO2 has increased 50 since the industrial age began 150 years. It was 280 ppm and it is now 420 ppm which is totally the result of human burning of fossil fuels. And we have proof of that by the increase in the carbon isotope C 12 relative to C13.

    Calling it "Greenland" was (false) advertising to encourage settlers. Greenland was much the same proportion ice covered during the Medieval Warm Period and much the same proportion as now was not under ice. The bits that were ice free were a little easier to farm than they became as the climate worsened. But settlers didn't come for the opportunity to farm, they farmed for the opportunity live there and to hunt. Quite specifically, they came for walrus tusk and narwhal ivory. That fetched good money till it it got outcompeted by a greater availability of African elephant ivory.

    An interesting hypothesis. I wonder how much the settling of dark ash particles from the Canadian wildfires on the northern ice and snow packs will accelerate the melting and so increase the depth and size of these melt lakes this year? I think one also has to consider water's high latent heat. In other words, one must add a great deal of energy to melt water ice; however, one must also be able to remove that amount of energy to re-freeze it. This means that the amount of frozen water melted in the warmer seasons (energy added), will be disproportionate, to the amount of energy removed in an average winter to re-freeze the water. This imbalance or disproportion of energy in the freezing and thawing cycles will a result from the additional mechanisms of heat absorption you have identified.

    I have a question, is there a completely different feedback from the volcanos? Greenland was formed from volcanos so there will be a lot of volcanos all over Greenland, some sleeping a few not. The ice sheet is putting a lot of downward pressure on all these volcanos, if you release the pressure are you going to make the sleeping volcanos wake up, because that would melt more ice and release more pressure from on top of the volcanos. Having lava flowing down an ice sheet will melt all the ice very quickly.

    No, there are no active or dormant volcanoes in Greenland. Google for an article "Fire and Ice: Why Volcanic Activity Is Not Melting the Polar Ice Sheets" about an in-depth study NASA has done on this, and also on the Antarctic where there are active volcanoes. Greenland was not formed by volcanoes, perhaps you are mixing this up with Iceland. Greenland is an ancient continental core which actually contains the oldest rocks of the planet. There are extensive basalt flows under the ice and in the mountains but they are also from an ancient past. The most recent period of volcanism was when it moved over the hot spot that is now under Iceland during the last 100 million years or so, but that ended about 5 million years ago.

    Greenland was part of Pangea, the super continent where all todays continents were one, meaning that - at least most of Greenland was not formed from volcanoes. Not "recently" at least. If it was it must have been some hundred million years ago? There hasn't been any active volcanoes found anywhere on Greenland. There are areas where it is obvious that were formed from volcanoes, though. Estimated around same time as the dino killer rock which crashed on earth app 65-70 million years ago.
