Jason Box: Can We Save Greenland? « Climate Denial Crock of the Week

Well, I hope he gets the money but really his project is the kind of one which should be fully funded - this post* (warning - evil skeptic site ) is an analysis of this post (warning, non-scientist expert) discussing the Greenland ice melt which includes a contribution from Box. The latter mentions a 69 foot sea level rise - hmmm, where have I seen that before ?

The conclusion is that Greenland will be ice free in 14k years.
