Now, I am not a genius by any stretch of the imagination but when CNN's Anderson Cooper says that 40% of Greenland's ice has melted and I look at Greenland with GOOGLE EARTH (not that this is scientific or difinitive in any way) and I see that Greenland is COVERED with ice and snow, I have to wonder what kind of maroon Anderson Cooper is and what kind of scam he's trying to put over on us.
FORTY PERCENT? Give me a break!
FROM RUSH LIMBAUGH: Last night on CNN, there was a report by Anderson Cooper: Greenland's ice sheet, 30% of it gone in the past 30 years. Not true. It is total and outright false. It is an incorrect assertion. Greenland has cooled since the 1940s. The melt rate from 1920 to 1930 was twice as fast as the current melt rate in Greenland. Now, this mistake was verified with a Greenland scientist this morning, the CNN mistaken. The scientist said that if Greenland lost as much ice, 40% of its ice as CNN reported last night, there would already be a ten-foot surge in sea level.
