    “First Time On Record”
    Posted on August 23, 2021 by tonyheller

    Excerpt:

    CNN says that rain fell in the center of the Greenland ice sheet for the first time ever and a few hours of weather proves climate change.

    The same thing happened in 1933 and 1950.

    =====

    It has rained several other times they happen to be in the area to notice it, imagine how many other rains they missed in the super low population area of Greenland with NO Satellites existing until the 1960's.

    I am sure it rained several times in every past century yet the world didn't blow up.....

    There is some speculation that conditions in Greenland may be signaling a shift toward cooling.

    ". . . Meanwhile Greenland snow mass balance reached a “historic level for this time of year”, reported the European Institute for Climate and Energy (EIKE):

    These amazing gains are in addition to those observed in recent years. The tide has turned in Greenland. And this growth trend has accelerated in 2020 – that’s BIG news. This is how glaciers build up. This is also how ice ages begin."

    Paleoclimate data keep rebelling against the climate alarmist narrative.
    Scientists Increasingly Agree The Last Ice Age Temperatures Were ~3-4°C Warmer Than Today’s
    By Kenneth Richard on 9. September 2021

    In a “major revision” to the “long-standing view,” scientists are increasingly concluding the last glacial had summers “several degrees” warmer than today, with climate conditions warm enough to allow year-round grass grazing by horses, antelope, gazelle…in Siberia, Alaska, and north of the Arctic circle. Multiple degrees warmer glacial temperatures pervaded both hemispheres.

    The “long-standing view” is the current interglacial climate is distinctly warmer and more hospitable to plants, animals, and humans than at any time during the last ice age, or glacial (from about 60,000 to 11,700 years ago). This view “has undergone a major revision” during the last 20 years of geological study according to scientists publishing in the September (2021) edition of Quaternary International.

    Vegetation and tree records with specific warmth thresholds and associated ice-free temperature requirements affirm the last glacial needed to be “warmer than today by several degrees Celsius.” (Tarasov et al., 2021) . . . .

    You can only fool some of the people all the time.
    The Media Is Lying About Greenland and Climate Change
    Guest Blogger
    The mainstream media is hell-bent on instilling climate fear among the masses. This means that they can never get over their obsession with weather events in the Arctic, which is…

    ". . . “Rain fell at the normally snowy summit of Greenland for the first time on record,” read CNN’s headlines. Others went a step further and declared it a sign of climate doomsday. “Rain On Greenland Ice Sheet, Possibly A First, Signals Climate Change Risk,” read another headline.

    Unfortunately, for the mainstream media, climate history nearly always comes back to haunt their claims of unprecedented events. Records reveal that this is not the first rainfall in Greenland, and certainly not the first on the Greenland summit peak, which stands at around 10,000 feet.

    Records Show Past Rain Events in Greenland

    A 1975 report prepared for National Science Foundation (NSF) by Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, at the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory documented the summer climate at Greenland ice sheet. It showed at least two rainfall events have occurred, once in 1933 at 8,840 feet and again in 1950 at a much higher altitude. The 1950 rainfall event was above 9,500 feet and very close to the Greenland summit peak, thus contradicting mainstream media claims of unprecedented rainfall at the summit. . . . "

    The claim is false.
