How Did We Miss This?

Greenland's glaciers have been shrinking for 100 years: study

Greenland's glaciers have been shrinking for the past century, according to a Danish study, suggesting that the ice melt is not a recent phenomenon caused by global warming.

You can guess what's coming next, can't you?  Here we are near the end of August without a single hurricane to date because, as we're told, the surface waters of the Atlantic have cooled.  What do you want to bet that someone will  soon blame those cool waters on those melting glaciers.

And, ipso facto, global warming will have caused the dearth of hurricanes.  That nugget will be followed by a spate of stories explaining how the Everglades and the "fragile" wetlands that make up our coastline actually depend on hurricanes for their renewal and are now facing extinction [cut to pictures of dead crocodiles.]
