88% of the Lower 48 will be at or below 32F by the start of next week, with a third at or below 0F -- that's some 242 million Americans below freezing.

Greenland Gained 8 Gigatons Yesterday

There's been a notable uptick in Greenland's Surface Mass Balance (SMB) this week.

Over the past three days, the ice sheet has gained 21 gigatons of mass, culminating in the 8 gigatons gained Tuesday:

This pushes the ice sheet back above the 1981-2010 mean, where it has regularly resided since ≈2013.

This season will likely be the sixth out of the last eight to finish with an above average SMB — a turning of fortunes that has seen the Greenland ice sheet defiantly bounce back from those extrapolated 1996 to 2012 losses.

The trend has very clearly shifted, but alarmists can't accept a theory-challenging thought let alone a dataset — even one presented to them as a big fat red line:

A representation of TMB from 1986-2022 (to be updated with 2023’s data), assuming the MMB was that of 2021 (which was 10% more than that of 2020).
