(source: 2006 data from <A href="http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/topstory/2007/snowmelt_greenland.html">NASA press release </A>and Gerdel, 1961</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2007/11/05/greenland-climate-now-vs-then-part-ii-record-greenland-melt-area/">Notice that in every case, Gerdel calculated a greater number of days with melting than occurred in 2006 including in the “high places” on the ice sheet in the north, south central, and southern portions of Greenland. In other words, conditions were as favorable, if not more favorable, for snow melt to occur over the Greenland ice sheet (including NASA’s “high places”) in the mid-20th century compared with the present day.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2007/11/05/greenland-climate-now-vs-then-part-ii-record-greenland-melt-area/">The area of ice melt in Greenland in recent years (2007 included) is no doubt the highest in the past 20-30 years (since the end of the cold period there in the mid-1980s), but is probably very typical of the melting which took place during the warm period during the years around 1950 (or the decades prior).</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/01312B79-C701-48DE-A521-1A7FFF0E8166/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
