This article on the Greenland ice loss is interesting. I never actually read it, but I think it was originally reported in the magazine Science. The interesting thing is that apparently Science also ran research results last October by Norwegian and Russian scientists led by Professor Ola Johannessen that reported that the Greenland ice levels were actually increasing by about 5cm per year.

Go figure.

The difference being the yanks only used data models, whereas the Russians and Norwegians used real data. I'd like to read the article but haven't been able to find a copy of it yet.

Sounds like a good way to sell your magazine though: alarmist snippets rather than coordinated reporting of all the research.
