On September 17, WattsUpWithThat posted a story about the growing number of complaints about the new Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World. The Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) disputes the information about Greenland given in the Atlas.

The article at WattsUpWithThat reports:

“There is no scientific evidence that the area of the Greenland ice sheet since 1999 has shrunk by 15% as the latest edition of the ‘Times Atlas shows,” says climate researcher Ruth Mottram, DMI.

The article further reports:

The error may have occurred if katograferne from the ‘Times Atlas have used satellite images of Greenland to assess ice spatial distribution.

“When I look at satellite images of Greenland, it looks real enough dark along the coast, but that does not mean that the ice has disappeared” says climate researcher and continues: “The dark color is caused by dirt, dust and volcanic ash that makes the ice dark especially in Southeast Greenland. “

I am not by any means a scientific type, but I can understand the mistake. It’s always easier to draw the conclusions that back-up your pet theory. However, when your pet theory has the potential to ruin the global economy, maybe it’s time to reconsider.

  9. You’d probably certainly not hear individuals terms via Obama, mainly because The federal government is surely an ideologue, not much of a philosopher. Obama’s accelerating ideology will be moored inside a deep-rooted anger towards people that have great results as a result of cost-free promotes along with a deep-rooted empathy in direction of people who have great results through area enterprise along with industry conflict.

  10. You should by no means hear individuals text through Obama, mainly because Barak is undoubtedly an ideologue, not really a thinker. Obama’s gradual belief can be secured in the deep-rooted craze versus individuals who have great results through cost-free promotes plus a deep-rooted consideration to people that succeed via group organisation in addition to market potential fight.
