Record Greenland Ice Melt in 2019

Returning to items that won't get any comments, Greenland ice melt, which has been on the wane for a few years, picked up last year and reached a record amount of 530 Gt for 2019, which works out to an average, as The Guardian puts it, to -1.01 million tonnes per minute. 

For July alone it was -223 Gt.

I wish a White House journalist would ask Trump about this on Monday.

No point asking Trump. This is an area his Morton's Demon censors.

Jaxa data shows that sea ice extent for 2020 is now second lowest.
