Electroverse(@Electroversenet):The Guardian says a study shows Greenland is losing 30 million tons of ice per hour. Sounds terrifying until you add scale. If, for argument's sake, we accept the questionable headline rate, that works out to roughly 263 gigatons lost per year. But Greenland holds 2.8 million gigatons, meaning total loss would take over 10,000 years. And the study itself adds important context. Much of its newly counted loss comes from glacier retreat in fjords where ice was already below the sea, so it does not raise sea levels in the way the headline implies. This is how climate fear works: Huge number. No denominator. No time scale. Just blind panic.
