dtjohnson writes "The new "Times
Atlas of the World" claims in publicity
for its newest edition that global warming has turned 15 percent of
Greenland's former ice-covered land "green and ice-free." Now,
however, scientists from the Scott Polar Research Institute say
those figures, based on data from the National
Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) are wrong. "Recent satellite
images of Greenland make it clear that there are in fact still numerous
glaciers and permanent ice cover where the new Times Atlas shows
ice-free conditions and the emergence of new lands," they say in a
letter that has been sent to the Times. Others
have pointed out that if 15 percent of Greenland ice cover had been
lost, then sea levels would have risen by 1 meter...which has not
happened. Perhaps yet another climategate is brewing."
