GreenLand Ice Melting Again

-
Once again the media is alive with draconian articles about the Greenland, Iceland, Arctic and Antarctic ice melting disasters all caused by you burning fossil fuels.
Would be appropriate and professional if the authors would relate their studies to the past thousand years of major variations in earths natural climate cycles.

Scientists confirm dramatic melting of Greenland ice sheet
 “The ice sheet melted at a near record rate in 2019, and much faster than the average of previous decades. Figures have suggested that in July alone surface ice declined by 197 gigatonnes – equivalent to about 80 million Olympic swimming pools.”

A Contrarian View (without the swimming pools)
Climate activists, including government bureaucrats, claim the Greenland ice sheet is melting six times faster than it was 30 years ago.
Thirty years ago, the Greenland ice sheet was barely melting at all. “Six times” almost no ice loss remains almost no ice loss.
When recent ice loss is compared to the full Greenland ice sheet, the loss is so small that it is almost undetectable.
Sea-level measurements contradict claims that Greenland ice loss threatens coastal flooding. NASA satellite instruments, with readings dating back to 1993, show global sea level rising at a pace of merely 1.2 inches per decade, which is not significantly different than the typical rate of sea-level rise since the mid-1800s.
