Any 21st century ice melt across Greenland cannot be due to an accelerated warming trend, as the island as a whole has been cooling since the 1990s.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New research<\/a><\/strong> analyzes two decades of Greenland land surface temperature (LST) data. Contrary to the popular narrative of a significant warming trend, Greenland has instead cooled from 2000-2019 at a rate of -0.055\u00b0C per decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southern Greenland also cooled from 1958-2001, suggesting the region has been cooling for over 60 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Any recent ice melt in Greenland thus cannot be due to surface warming, as LSTs have undergone a cooling trend in both ice free and ice-covered areas.<\/p>\n\n\n
