Gee, it snows in the winter in Greenland. Who would have guessed?

Over the year, it snows more than it melts, but calving of icebergs also adds to the total mass budget of the ice sheet. Satellite observations over the last decade show that the ice sheet is not in balance. The calving loss is greater than the gain from surface mass balance, and Greenland is losing mass at about 200 Gt/yr.

The caption starts with "Top: ...", but you left out the top chart (visible on the webpage I linked)). Why is that?

The chart simply shows the seasonal growth and decline of ice mass in Greenland.
This fall the ice is growing faster than normal.

I'm guessing you didn't read the actual webpage from which the chart was extracted, in spite of my providing the link. Which of your twitter masters edited it for you?

Click on "anomalies". The sea is warmer than usual near Greenland.

Sea ice to the west of Greenland is below normal this year.

Both of those will affect the humidity gathered in the air over the sea and available to fall out as snow over Greenland.

Of course.
More ice this fall must have a global warming explanation.
Less ice or more ice is of no importance.
This is why I simply post the data as "current events"
The pretzel logic is up to you.

You really don't understand AGW do you? It leads to more extreme weather globally, that of course includes, increased coldness in some areas...

#1 on the hit parade --

1. Denial
Denial is the refusal to accept reality or fact, acting as if a painful event, thought or feeling did not exist. It is considered one of the most primitive of the defense mechanisms because it is characteristic of early childhood development. Many people use denial in their everyday lives to avoid dealing with painful feelings or areas of their life they don’t wish to admit.

The rest is up to you.

No Bernie, it was your comments about increased ice and global warming and pretzel logic that I was referring to. You, like other commentors here don't seem to have the 1st clue what this topic is all about...

It's amazing, I try to avoid any in depth discussion of the Science because I'm not a Scientist, but nothing stops these clowns from voicing a totally ignorant and unqualified opinion that is purely political in nature....but they pretend it's the Science.

The science needed to study global warming is not that difficult. If you have enough math skills to understand the Arrhenius CO2 equation, which he devised from his Nobel-Prize-winning laboratory studies on reaction rates to explain the ice age cycles, the rest is obvious.

Δ F = α ln ⁡ ( C / C 0 )

if the quantity of CO2 increases in geometric progression, the augmentation of the temperature will increase nearly in arithmetic progression.

As the CO2 concentration increases, the temperature will follow, absent any other effects.
