  One of the more dire scenarios being advanced about global warming is the notion that rapid melting of Greenland's ice sheet could shut down the Gulf Stream, and plunge the entire Northern Hemisphere into a new ice age.  Indeed, one British researcher reported a 30 percent reduction in the Gulf Stream in late 2005.  But now according to Environment and Climate News, leading publications including Science magazine are reporting much more accurate data from 19 measuring stations attached to buoys in the Atlantic showing no slowing of the Gulf Stream.  Since the previous observed slowing was "a mere [...]

Is the Greenland ice sheet melting from man made global warming? Well according to the Heartland Institute, this claim is becoming highly suspect. The reason is that scientists from the Danish Meteorological Institute recently correlated surface temperature readings and ice core data dating back to 1784 and found, astonishingly, that the last two decades of the twentieth century were colder than the previous six. In fact, Greenland temperatures in the 1980's and 90's were a full 1.5 degrees Celsius lower than those of the 1930's and 40's, thus completely contradicting assertions made by climate change proponents and their modeling.

Recently newspapers around the world trumpeted the alarm that glaciers in Greenland were melting at a rapid pace because of global warming. But according to the website Junkscience.com, its these pronouncements that need to be thawed out. For example, a study in the journal Science reported just last fall that, after examining the Greenland ice sheet from 1992-2003 using sophisticated radar devices, some Norwegian scientists actually discovered the glaciers in the interior landmass were growing by 5.4 centimeters per year, not shrinking. With even the worse scenarios showing it would take at least a millennium to melt Greenland's ice [...]
