This was a very scary dream, and sadly I think I do think its going to happen.  Global warming is very real as has been covered by by NASA and the US White House because of oil?  In 16 months there is going to be some sort of "runway melting"   Many US government people know this, but they have been told not to say anything...one of these people will speak though...and very soon...listen to what is said, its for real.

UPDATE: THIS DREAM MAY ALSO BE OF SOME IMPORTANCE

Dear Brian,

This dream of yours must have much to do with the melting Greenland's glaciers.

Greenland's glaciers losing ice at faster rate
Satellite observations add new factor to global-warming debate


J.A. Dowdeswell / Univ. of Cambridge
Large numbers of icebergs are calved each year from the fast-flowing terminus of the Kangerdlussuaq Glacier in East Greenland. Iceberg production is a major form of mass loss from ice sheets. The bergs add fresh water to surrounding seas when they melt.

ST. LOUIS - Satellite observations indicate that Greenland's glaciers have been dumping ice into the Atlantic Ocean at a rate that's doubled over the past five years, researchers reported here on Thursday. The findings add yet another factor to the long-running debate over the effect of climate change on the world's ice sheets and sea levels.

"The evolution of the ice sheet, in the context of climate warming, is more rapid than has been predicted by models," one of the researchers, Eric Rignot of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told MSNBC.com. As a result, Greenland's ice sheet — second only to Antarctica's ice sheet, with almost as much area as Mexico — could contribute more than expected to rising sea levels in a warming world, he said.

Other climate experts said the study, which was revealed in St. Louis at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and published in Friday's issue of the journal Science, added an important piece to the climate puzzle.

"This is a big, major finding," said Gino Casassa, a glaciologist at Chile's Center for Scientific Studies. He noted that some glaciers in South America's Patagonia region have been shrinking faster than expected, and said "acceleration may be the missing link." Other scientists said a similar effect might be at work within glaciers in Alaska and Antarctica.

The Greenland Ice Sheet's role in climate predictions is not crystal-clear, however. Researchers have to account not only for the loss of ice around the edges of the sheet, but also for the buildup of ice in Greenland's interior. The influence of smaller-scale weather cycles on Greenland's waxing and waning ice adds to the complexity.

Climate skeptics point to the buildup of snow and ice in Greenland's interior as evidence that the ice sheet is not thawing out. But Rignot and others said that the buildup is taken into account in the computerized climate models, as a meteorological side effect of the global warming trend.

When all the effects are considered, the Greenland Ice Sheet's annual loss has risen from 21.6 cubic miles (90 cubic kilometers) in 1996 to 36 cubic miles (150 cubic kilometers) in 2005, according to Rignot and his co-author, Pannir Kanagaratnam of the University of Kansas. Their conclusions are based on nearly a decade's worth of radar data from the Radarsat-1, ERS-1, ERS-2 and Envisat satellites, as well as radio echo sounding experiments.

How much, and how fast?
Virtually everyone agrees that the complete disappearance of the 2-mile-thick (3-kilometer-thick) Greenland Ice Sheet would cause an estimated 23-foot (7-meter) rise in global sea levels. That would inundate coastal regions around the world. At the same time, virtually everyone also agrees that even under the worst-case scenario, it would take centuries of warmer weather for Greenland's ice to disappear completely.

It's the rate of change in the ice sheet, and its variability over time, that is at issue.

Rignot and Kanagaratnam say their calculations indicate that the Greenland melt currently contributes about two-hundredths of an inch (0.5 millimeters) to the annual 0.12-inch (3-millimeter) rise in global sea levels. The glacier speed-up is responsible for more than two-thirds of that contribution, they say.

Moreover, the type of speed-up seen in Greenland may be affecting glaciers elsewhere as well, Rignot said.

"We think something very similar is happening in the Antarctic Peninsula, where the ice shelves in front of these glaciers has collapsed," he told MSNBC.com, specifically pointing to 2002's demise of the Larsen B ice shelf.

Mark Chandler, a climate researcher at Columbia University, said the fate of the world's ice sheets is "probably the biggest concern that people are looking at right now" in the field of climate prediction.

"There's a lot of fear out there right now, even among scientists, that ice caps are not all that stable," he told MSNBC.com. If the pace of global ice loss accelerates, sea levels might conceivably rise 6 to 16 feet (2 to 5 meters) over the course of a century, which he said would be "devastating."

Greenland Glaciers Speed Melting

"It's likely that Greenland is going to contribute more and faster to rising sea levels than previously estimated."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eric Rignot, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory



(AP) Warmer temperatures during the past decade have sped up the march of Greenland's southern glaciers to the Atlantic Ocean, where the ice and water they spill contribute more to the global rise in sea levels than previously thought.

Those faster-moving glaciers now dump in a year twice as much ice into the Atlantic as they did in 1996, researchers said Thursday. The resulting icebergs, along with increased melting of Greenland's ice sheet, could account for nearly 17 percent of the estimated one-tenth of an inch annual rise in global sea levels, or twice what was previously believed, said Eric Rignot of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.

"It's likely that Greenland is going to contribute more and faster to rising sea levels than previously estimated," Rignot told reporters at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. A report by Rignot and Pannir Kanagaratnam of the University of Kansas appears Friday in the journal Science.

An increase in surface air temperatures appears to be causing the glaciers to flow faster — albeit at the still-glacial pace of eight miles to nine miles a year at their fastest clip — and discharge increased amounts of ice into the Atlantic.

That stepped-up flow accounted for about two-thirds of the net 54 cubic miles of ice Greenland lost in 2005. That compares with 22 cubic miles in 1996. The most recent volume is more than 200 times the amount of fresh water used by Los Angeles in a year, Rignot said.

Rignot and Kanagaratnam said their report is the first to include measurements of recent changes in glacier velocity in the estimates of how much ice most of Greenland is losing.

"What we found is this is probably the dominant response of the ice sheets," Rignot said.

Gino Casassa, who studies glaciers at Chile's Centro de Estudios Cientificos, called the study a "major finding," since it may provide a missing link to the understanding of shrinking glaciers in Antarctica, Patagonia, Alaska and elsewhere around the globe. Previous studies have only hinted that increased flow rates played such a prominent role, Casassa said.

"This is the first time, with hard data, to conclude this," he said.

Rignot and Kanagaratnam believe warmer temperatures boost the amount of melt water that reaches where the glaciers flow over rock. That extra water lubricates the rivers of ice and eases their downhill movement toward the Atlantic. They tracked the speeds of the glaciers from space, using satellite data collected between 1996 and 2005.

If warmer temperatures spread to northern Greenland, the glaciers there should also pick up their pace, according to the study.

The only way to stem the loss of ice would be for Greenland to receive increased amounts of snowfall, according to Julian Dowdeswell of the University of Cambridge, who wrote an accompanying article.

Greenland's glaciers are dumping more than twice as much ice into the
Atlantic Ocean now as 10 years ago because glaciers are sliding off the
land more quickly, researchers said on Thursday.
This could mean oceans will rise even faster than forecast, and rising
surface air temperatures appear to be to blame, the researchers report
in Friday's issue of the journal Science.
Glaciers around the world are disappearing quickly, several researchers
told a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of
Science, which publishes Science. "Greenland is probably going to
contribute more and faster to sea level rise than predicted," Eric
Rignot of

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of
Technology told a news conference.

Between 1996 and 2006, the amount of water lost from Greenland's ice
sheet has more than doubled from 90 cubic kilometers to 220 cubic
kilometers a year, Rignot said. "One cubic kilometer is the amount of
water Los Angeles uses in a year. Two-hundred cubic kilometers of water
is a lot of fresh water," Rignot said.
Other experts agreed this could mean scientists have underestimated how
much the sea level will rise in the future as the planet warms.

Brian,

Please post this on your site. This is in regard to RE:

DD 3082,3095 & 3105


We need to let people know that their washers, dryers, refrigerators and light bulbs are killing the Ozone!

Brian,

this is not to total solution to the environment but my GOD, one light replaced the same as taking ONE MILLION CARS OF THE ROAD! Replacing Washers, Dryers and Refrigerators would sure help a lot!
