Danish climate body: The monitoring equipment had been giving erroneous results.  “Was there record-level warmth on the inland ice on Friday?” it said. “No! A quality check has confirmed our suspicion that the measurement was too high.” 

Analyst Paul Homewood: 'Greenland Ice sheet Meltdown Scare–Except It’s Not True' - 'The Capital Weather Gang at the Washington Post long ago sold their souls to the global warming scam. But shamefully scientists at DMI have also joined the band.' 

'The simple fact is that the Greenland ice sheet melts every summer, particularly when the sun shines. Indeed, if it did not it would carry on growing year after year. Inevitably there are some days when the weather is warmer and sunnier than normal, and others when it is colder. To pick an odd day or two is ridiculous and dishonest scaremongering.'

'And there is no mention of the fact that the ice sheet grew substantially last year, and also the year before'

Meteorologist Anthony Watts on Greenland 'heatwave': 'Happens every year at the peak of summer. Climate not involved.'

A screaming lack of enthusiastic media coverage regarding recent evidence that Jakobshavn, the previously fastest-flowing, fastest-thinning glacier on Greenland’s west coast, has now gone rogue. Jakobshavn has represented the largest source of periodic ice mass loss over the last 20 years, and has produced about 10 percent of the country’s icebergs.

A study published last month in the journal Nature reported, "Here we use airborne altimetry and satellite imagery to show that since 2016, Jakobshavn has been re-advancing, slowing and thickening. We link these changes to current cooling in ocean waters in Disko Bay that spill over into Ilulissat Icefjord. Ocean temperatures in the bay’s upper 250 meters have cooled to levels not seen since the mid-1980s."
