Times Atlas is 'wrong on Greenland climate change'
(http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff68/kayaktn/Greenland-ice-cover-in-Ti-007.jpg)
Maps in the 13th edition of the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World, published last week, show large areas of the eastern and southern coasts of Greenland coloured brown and pink, and the permanent ice cap now covering a significantly smaller area than it did in the 1999 12th edition of the atlas. The atlas suggests that 300,000 sq km, or 15%, of Greenland's ice cover had been lost in the period.
But seven researchers at Cambridge University's Scott Polar Research Institute backed by glaciologists in the US, Europe and elsewhere, have said that both the maps and the figure of 15% are wrong.
In a letter to the editors of the Times Atlas they agree that the Greenland ice cover is reducing but at nowhere near the extent claimed in the book. "A 15% decrease in permanent ice cover since the publication of the previous atlas 12 years ago is both incorrect and misleading.

It's just a little exaggeration. I don't see the big deal. Nobody reads atlases anyway. :whatever:
-
And aren't Antartica's ice shelves increasing?
-
less ice + more land = lots of potatoes

Yet event the dipshits on The Weather Channel are using this "fact" to push forward Glowballs Warming. Why they even say that the colder weather is PROOF of it. This is from experts????? :thatsright:

John Coleman, a former Chicago TV weatherman, started the Weather Channel and then sold if a few years later. He hates the bullshit that they spew; it would never occur if he still owned it.
