Do you believe Greenland's glaciers are melting?

Temperature was -88F in January. Record cold. Then it gained GIGAtons of snow Feb 7 2020.

We know they are, it's easy to see with your own eyes if you have been in the Artic. There are shipping lanes in the northwest passage that never existed before. We have historical photos and measurements that show the difference. You're old my dude, you'll be dead soon enough leaving my generation with this mess.

@MalcolmY You obviously have never been to the arctic. Tell me again. How much snow is melting when it is 88 below.
@hippyjoe1955 I've been twice. Very little melts in January. The point is January's freeze is not as long or intense to make up for what melts in the summer. I don't know what you do or did for work but this is pretty basic science. If you analyze the temperature variants it becomes pretty clear.

@MalcolmY Oooo what do you consider arctic? The Alaska panhandle? Sorry but the glaciers are growing not melting. You can tell because they are calving. Melting glaciers don't calve. They just melt.
@hippyjoe1955 You still haven't told me where all this, demonstrably false, expertise come from. But I've been to Alaska and northern Canada. Gathering and analysing data. You're wrong about the calving, you are wrong about the temperatures. And you are wrong about "glaciers growing" we are losing polar ice at an alarming right. Like I said, you will be dead so I understand why you don't care but to pretend it isn't real is just foolish.

@MalcolmY Sure you have. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL. All you have shown me is you have never talked to a expert in glaciers.
@hippyjoe1955 Again, where do you draw your expertise from? I've done two summer rotations with a climate scientist. Where do you get your information?

@MalcolmY Wow that qualifies you as a useful idiot not a scientist. Climate science is another word for government propaganda. They are paid to make up false narratives. I thought everyone knew that. Just ask Judith Curry.

Maybe this will help. With data sources from NASA.
