Wesley Parish's letter (The Weekend Sun, September 27, 2019, pg 57) says 'glaciers are melting faster than [scientists'] models predicted”.

They may have missed the article on Jakobshavn glacier, Greenland's key glacier has been found to be growing for the last three years.

The study said Jakobshavn is 'arguably the most important Greenland glacier because it discharges the most ice in the northern hemisphere. For all of Greenland, it is king”.

A natural cyclical cooling of North Atlantic waters likely caused the glacier to reverse course, this coincides with a flip of the North Atlantic oscillation — a natural and temporary cooling and warming of parts of the ocean that is like a distant cousin to El Nino in the Pacific.

The water in Disko Bay, where Jakobshavn hits the ocean, is about 3.6 degrees cooler than a few years ago.

NASA is now warning of a solar-driven cold period.

I do not claim to be an expert, but people like Nils-Axel Morner (a sea level expert) Professor Richard Lindzen (an atmospheric physicist) and Dr Roy Spencer (a climatologist) are.

Roy Spencer created the petition against the pseudoscience of the IPCC, which 31,487 scientists signed, 9029 with PHDs - I know who I believe.
